Match Preview
Juventus continues to struggle in Serie A. Motta has disappointed those who expected the team to play an aggressive attacking style under his guidance. The dull play often results in draws, preventing the club from competing for the Scudetto.
In the last game against Fiorentina, Juventus played their 11th draw of the Serie A season. Although they remain unbeaten, they occupy a modest sixth place and are already nine points behind leaders Napoli and Atalanta.
The patience of Milan's management finally ran out after their recent match against Roma, and Paulo Fonseca was dismissed. Milan shared the points with Roma, but that match no longer determined the fate of the Portuguese coach.
It was announced before the match that Sergiu Conceição would soon take over the team, having previously worked successfully at Porto. Interestingly, his debut will be against Juventus, a team managed by his son, Francisco, who has been playing for the Turin club since the summer.
Match Facts
- Juventus is unbeaten in 14 consecutive matches.
- Milan has only one loss in their last 13 games.
- Juventus averages 2.4 goals per game at home, while Milan averages 2.2 goals per game away.
Probable Lineups
- Juventus: Di Gregorio, Cambiaso, Kalulu, Gatti, Savona, McKennie, Thuram, Koopmeiners, Yildiz, Conceição, Vlahovic.
- Milan: Maignan, Emerson, Gabbia, Tiav, Theo Hernandez, Bennacer, Reinders, Fofana, Chukwueze, Morata, Abraham.
Head-to-Head
In the last two head-to-head matches, neither team scored any goals against each other.
Prediction
Matches between Milan and Juventus tend not to be very high-scoring, so it is unlikely we will see many goals. A good option here would be to bet on the total goals being under 2.5.
