Juventus v AC Milan

Juventus vs AC Milan Preview

Juventus's inconsistent sequence of results in the Italian top flight continued last Friday night when the Old Lady were held to a 2-2 draw away from home at lower half outfit Cagliari, while AC Milan were dealt a 2-1 defeat to their fierce city rivals and Serie A league leaders Inter Milan on Monday night, so both teams will no doubt be keen to return to winning ways here on Saturday evening at Allianz Stadium.

Juventus still occupy third place in the Serie A standings despite picking up just two wins from their last 12 matches which came by way of victories gained over Frosinone and Fiorentina whilst also being involved in six draws and slipping to four defeats as well, so the prospects of a straight win here for the hosts seems unlikely.

However, the prospect of goals being scored for both sides in this upcoming top three clash in Serie A looks promising as six of Juventus's last 12 games have resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net along with the draw also being a highly possible outcome as well.

Indeed, four of Juventus' six recent stalemates have been recorded on home soil at Allianz Stadium.

AC Milan lost out 2-1 to Inter Milan in Monday's Milan derby but the visitors will still feel confident about their chances here at Allianz Stadium as they have suffered just the single loss in their last eight games overall in the domestic top flight.

The bigger picture shows AC Milan have slipped to just two defeats within their previous 18 games overall which were losses to Monza and Inter Milan in 4-2 and 2-1 losses respectively but Stefano Pioli's side have also captured 12 wins within this 18-game sequence while 11 of these 18 games have also resulted with both teams scoring as well.

AC Milan's results away from home have also been promising though as the visitors have collected no fewer than six wins from their last eight games on their travels with wins registered on the road at Empoli, Udinese, Frosinone, Lazio, Verona and Fiorentina and goals could also be set to feature as six of these last eight away games have also resulted in both teams scoring.

Juventus v AC Milan Verdict

Previous exchanges between these Juventus and AC Milan have been pretty tight affairs with very little to choose between the two sides as three of the last six meetings have resulted in stalemate while both teams have claimed two wins apiece so this upcoming clash on Saturday evening could be another hotly contested encounter.

Both Juventus and AC Milan also possess dangerous attacking threats in the final third with the likes of Juve's Vlahovic (16 goals) and AC Milan's Giroud (13 goals) leading the way up front for their teams.
