Juventus have the chance to avenge their Super Cup pain when they host AC Milan this Saturday in the Italian Serie A. In the chase for European football slots, three points separate the teams, Juve in fifth spot and Milan seventh. Let’s have a look at the prediction for this match.
Juventus are coming into this game on a four-match winless run. They drew three and lost once in that run. That defeat was inflicted by Milan in their Super Cup meeting a few weeks ago.
The Old Lady returned to league action, keeping their unbeaten record with back-to-back 1-1 draws. The latest of those was against Atalanta on Tuesday.
Milan broke their winless run against Juventus in the teams’ last meeting. A stunning second half comeback to win 2-1 set Milan on the way to lifting the Super Cup.
Here they will be looking to show it wasn’t a fluke. Milan haven't beaten Juventus in three league matches but the last two ended in draws. They will hope to change that at the same venue they claimed their latest league win against Juventus.
Things haven't been quite comfortable for Milan, as they labored in their 2-1 win at Como last time out. Defensive failings remain an issue; they have no clean sheet in the last five matches.
No team has drawn more matches than Juventus in Serie A this season. There’s potential that this match could head the same way. That is, if we consider the previous head-to-head league battles between these two sides.
This fixture has also become known for low scores. As the battle gets stiffer for European slots, we could once again see a low-scoring game. The last three league meetings between them had just one goal. Our prediction for Juventus v Milan is for a draw and under 2.5 goals.
