AC Milan v Juventus

AC Milan vs Juventus Preview

Undoubtedly, this upcoming clash between two of the Italian top flight heavyweights, AC Milan and Juventus, is the pick of this weekend's fixtures in Serie A with the league leading hosts taking on their third placed visitors at their Stadio Giuseppe Meazza with AC Milan looking to stretch their winning streak in the top flight to five matches while Juventus will be looking to post back-to-back wins.

AC Milan headed into the international break in stunning form as Stefano Pioli's side captured a fourth league win on the trot at the expense of Genoa with a 1-0 win away from home which followed previous impressive victories against Verona, Cagliari and a solid 2-0 home win against Lazio.

Therefore, AC Milan's position at the summit of the Serie A table has been deserved especially as the hosts have won seven of their eight matches overall so far in this new campaign and includes a 100% winning record on home soil as well, picking up wins against Torino, Verona and Lazio respectively.

The bigger picture shows AC Milan have suffered just the two defeats out of their previous 30 games at their Stadio Giuseppe Meazza which is some record indeed and includes picking up 21 wins and keeping 16 clean sheets into the bargain as well, thus making them a tough proposition for visitors, Juventus, on Sunday night.

Onto Juventus and the visitors have made a pretty reasonable start to this new Serie A campaign as The Old Lady occupy third spot having been handed just one defeat in their opening eight games whilst capturing a total of five wins to date as well.

Juventus trail their upcoming hosts by a four-point margin but the visitors know that all three points here at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza would see this margin whittled down to just a single point so there's plenty of incentive for Massimiliano Allegri's side ahead of this upcoming trip.

Victories against Udinese, Empoli, Lazio, Lecce and Torino should stand the visitors in good stead for this upcoming encounter but it's worth noting that Juventus have only picked up two of their five wins to date on their travels.

Having also captured just four wins out of their last 10 games on their travels, Juventus may well have their work cut out against an in-form and confident AC Milan outfit here this Sunday evening.

AC Milan v Juventus Verdict

Recent history certainly seems to favour the hosts, AC Milan, in this forthcoming fixture against Juventus as the hosts are unbeaten in their last six meetings with the Old Lady and having won three of these six meetings, we give the nod to AC Milan to take the spoils here.

Therefore, our main bet will be AC Milan win @ 1.80
