Where to watch AC Milan vs. Girona live stream, TV channel, start time, lineups for Champions League match

AC Milan will look to register their fifth consecutive victory in the tournament when they host Girona in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The Italian giants will be looking to put Saturday's 0-2 defeat to Juventus in the Serie A behind. Milan are currently placed 12th in the Champions League standings and a win against the Spanish club may at least guarantee them a spot in the playoffs for the knockout rounds.

Meanwhile, Girona has managed just a single win in their six Champions League outings. With just three points against their name, they sit 30th on the leaderboard.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

AC Milan vs. Girona prediction

The vast chasm between the teams is undeniable. While Milan have won four matches in a row in the Champions League, Girona have managed just one win in six games.

However, with the Spanish club out of contention for the knockout rounds, they might want to ruffle a few feathers before they exit. Milan has been plagued with inconsistency this season, especially in the domestic tournaments, but they should be able to weather the storm against Girona.

Prediction: AC Milan 2-1 Girona
