Juventus vs AC Milan | Preview & Expected Lineup

Juventus aims to end their recent run of four consecutive draws when they face AC Milan, led by their former coach Massimiliano Allegri. The clash carries added intrigue as Allegri returns to Juventus’ home ground with a Milan side flying high this season.

After a strong start to the Serie A campaign with three straight wins, Juventus’ form has plateaued. They’ve drawn their last four matches across all competitions, including a frustrating 2-2 draw against Villarreal in the UEFA Champions League, where they lost the lead late in the game.

Despite this, Juventus remain unbeaten in Serie A with a record of three wins and two draws. However, their inability to secure victories recently echoes struggles from last season.

Fans would prefer wins over draws, but Juventus has shown resilience, avoiding defeat in their last ten league games and winning six of their last seven home matches.

On the other side, Allegri’s Milan are riding high. The former Juventus manager has led AC Milan to five straight wins, including a significant 2-1 victory over reigning champions Napoli last weekend. Milan currently share the Serie A summit with a record of four wins and one loss.
