AC Milan vs Juventus: Preview and betting tips

The biggest headliner of the round is clearly the match between AC Milan and Juventus. The duel is mainly a pointer for Juventus, who can see how much closer they are to the top Serie A teams in terms of quality and gameplay.

Although it seems unbelievable Juventus managed to beat their opponent for the last time in January 2021. Since then, there is a series of five matches in which the Turin big club failed to win. Twice the match ended in a draw and three times AC were delighted.

After two years of setbacks, and especially last year’s wasted season, Juventus seems to be back in the limelight and starting to make inroads into the battle in the top rungs of the league. This will be the first league game that the Old Lady will go into without Fagiolli, who was part of the betting scandal that has been discussed on the internet in recent days and weeks.

AC without defensive mainstays

However, the home team is also hamstrung by difficulties in selecting a squad. Mainly of the card type, Mike Maignan was red-carded in the last league game and so will not be able to start. The other goalkeeper Marco Sportiello has a calf injury, so it is in the stars if he will be able to start. AC’s key figure Theo Hernández will also be unable to play due to yellow cards.

Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud will take care of the offensive part of the game. The Frenchman has 4 goals and 3 assists, while the Portuguese is only one goal worse off. They already showed last season that they are perfect on the pitch and this season they only confirm it.

The star players on the Juventus side are Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic. Both players have 4 goals to their credit. Chiesa is still a question mark because of a muscle injury. Especially the quick transition to attack by them is hard to stop. Wojciech Sczeszny is also in excellent form, not scoring a goal in the last three games.

Match flow

We can expect a very tactical and cautious battle from the match. Neither team will want to make a mistake. The match is unlikely to offer any breathtaking up and down football.

More than 2 goals in the clash between these two teams last fell in May 2021. We can mark the home team as the favourite, but the losses due to the cards reduce this fact enormously. The line-ups of both teams and especially the home goalkeeper will probably give us a clue.

Betting tip I Less than 2.5 goals in the match
