---------------------------
Arsenal
Arsenal, coached by Mikel Arteta, is gearing up for the 2025-26 Premier League season after finishing as runners-up in 2024-25. Their pre-season tour begins with this match, bolstered by new signings Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard. Their 2024-25 form showed 22 wins, 8 draws, and 8 losses, averaging 2.3 goals scored and 0.9 goals conceded. Key players include Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, and Gabriel Jesus, with academy prospects Max Downman and Marli Salmon possibly featuring. Arsenal’s strengths are their high-pressing 4-3-3 and attacking fluidity, but Noni Madueke’s absence (post-Club World Cup rest) and Thomas Partey’s legal issues may affect dynamics. They aim to fine-tune at Singapore National Stadium for their Premier League opener against Manchester United on August 17.
AC Milan
AC Milan, led by Massimiliano Allegri in his second stint, is rebuilding after an 8th-place Serie A finish and a Coppa Italia final loss in 2024-25. Their pre-season tour includes this match and a later clash with Liverpool. Their 2024-25 form included 14 wins, 10 draws, and 14 losses, averaging 1.4 goals scored and 1.3 goals conceded. Key players include Samuele Ricci (new signing), Fikayo Tomori, and Christian Pulisic. Injuries to David Fofana and Álvaro Morata, plus the absence of Luka Modric and Diego Giménez (holidays), weaken their squad. Milan’s strengths are their defensive organization and counter-attacks, but missing key players hurts depth. They target a strong Serie A start.
Head-to-Head
Arsenal and AC Milan have met 10 times since 1994, with Arsenal leading 5-3, and 2 draws. Arsenal won 5-1 on aggregate in the 2018-19 Europa League Round of 16 and 2-1 in a 2022 friendly. Matches average 2.6 goals, with 50% over 2.5 goals and 60% both teams scoring (BTTS). Arsenal’s recent dominance gives them an edge, but Milan’s new signings add unpredictability.
Predicted Score: Arsenal 2-1 AC Milan
This friendly on July 23, 2025, at Singapore National Stadium, at 7:30 PM SGT (7:30 AM EDT), kicks off both teams’ pre-season tours. Arsenal’s Saka and Odegaard face Milan’s Tomori and Ricci, with Arsenal’s press likely testing Milan’s depleted squad. Arsenal are favorites (-105 odds) over Milan (+240), with a draw at +260. Trends (Arsenal: 60% over 2.5 goals; Milan: 50%) and H2H suggest goals. The 28°C evening and friendly context should keep cards low. Arsenal is likely to score through Saka or Jesus, with Pulisic possibly netting for Milan. Arsenal’s stronger squad should secure a narrow win, though Milan’s counter-attacks keep it close.
