In the 21st round of the Italian Serie A, Juventus will face AC Milan in Turin on Saturday, January 18, with the match scheduled to start at 18:00 Central European Time. My betting suggestion focuses on the total goals and the match winner.
Match Preview
Juventus occasionally shows interesting football, but the team is still adjusting to Thiago Motta's requirements. The club often settles for draws, with 13 in 20 Serie A matches.
Despite remaining unbeaten, Juventus cannot be considered a contender for the Scudetto. Their main objective will be to finish in the top 4 and secure a spot in the next season's Champions League.
Sérgio Conceição has shaken up the team and managed to win his first title in Italy. Notably, in the Supercoppa semifinal, Milan, in Conceição’s first match in charge, defeated Juventus.
However, Milan has struggled in Serie A, failing to beat Cagliari at home, and in their last match, they narrowly secured a come-from-behind victory against Como. There is still much work to be done, but the battle for fourth place promises to be exciting.
Match Facts
- Juventus has not won in their last four matches.
- Milan has been unbeaten since early December last year.
- Juventus averages 2.2 goals per game at home, while Milan averages 1.8 goals per game away.
Probable Lineups
- Juventus:
Di Gregorio; Savona, Gatti, Kalulu, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Thuram, McKennie, Koopmeiners, Yildiz, González. - Milan:
Maignan; Tomori, Tiav, Emerson, Hernandez; Bennacer, Fofana, Reinders; Pulisic, Leao, Morata.
Head-to-Head
Juventus has not defeated Milan at home since 2019.
Prediction
Juventus is quite capable of extending their unbeaten streak, as Milan has not been the epitome of stability. I suggest betting on Juventus to avoid defeat, with a total of no more than 3.5 goals in the match.
