Juventus vs AC Milan Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Bianconeri will take on Rossoneri on matchday 21 in the Serie A.

It is one of the biggest clashes in world football and it has already been played once this year with AC Milan coming from behind to defeat Juventus in the semi-finals of the Supercopa Italiana. They lock horns once again this year but now in Serie A. Thiago Motta is under a lot of pressure even though they are the only unbeaten side in the league.

They have dropped points this season and out of 20 games, 13 fixtures ended in a draw, Motta’s team will have to find a way to earn full points in every fixture to get out of the pressure. They now face the Rossoneri who come into this one on the back of their aforementioned victory against Juve in the Supercopa.

AC Milan are struggling this season as they are seventh in the points table with 31 points on the board. After getting a new head coach the management is very confident of turning around the situation. Conceicao is excellent at making his sides difficult to beat and he will surely look to finish the unbeaten streak of Juventus at their own home.

The Rossoneri were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw with Cagliari before a 2-1 win against Como in midweek. This should be a mouthwatering clash.

Players to Watch

Weston McKennie (Juventus)

The Texan is naturally athletic with descent speed and fantastic aerial ability. While he does lack elite speed and agility, he still covers a lot of ground and is aggressive and strong in duels. His size, combined with his leaping ability and physicality makes him a constant threat on set pieces.

He is a fan favourite and even though he sometimes does face criticism, with his hard work on the pitch he is able to prove them wrong many times. In 14 games, he has scored two goals and has provided three assists.

Christian Pulisic (AC Milan)

Pulisic demonstrates a strong preference for utilizing the width of the pitch, showcasing equal proficiency whether positioned on the right or left flank. His offensive mindset propels him to frequently explore spaces behind the defence lines, aiming to either directly collect the ball or engage in strategic rotations with another forward player. His knack for anticipating movement and choosing the right opportunity at the right times makes him a big threat.

The American’s agility makes him a formidable opponent to mark closely, as he possesses the capability to outmanoeuvre defenders with minimal effect. In 16 games, he has scored six goals and provided four assists till now.
