Who is this year’s Serie A champion is already known, but the composition of the top 4 teams in the league is still to be decided. Juventus and Milan have a solid claim to be in this club. Still, Bologna and Roma are also not far behind and are most certainly both ready and willing to move up in the table to fulfil their own Champions League ambitions.
Juventus Team News
Juventus’ recent league performances have been on a downward spiral – only 1 win across their last 7 Serie A games, 2 losses and 4 draws. Yet, the team find themselves 3rd with a 2-point lead over Bologna and 6 points ahead of Roma. But while Juventus has been nicking draw after draw, their pursuers have been winning their games and closing the gap. Now, The Old Lady will have to look for a positive result against one of their bitter rivals – AC Milan. Despite this being a derby in which anything can happen, Juventus’ home form is stable with the team managing to win 3 of their last 5 competitive fixtures at home.
AC Milan Team News
For Milan, it is one derby after another. Last time out in the Derby della Madonnina, they were forced to watch as their hated city rival, Inter Milan, was crowned the champions of Italy. Now, Stefano Pioli and his team head to Torino to face another rival in another pivotal game that can shape the final league standing. The good news for Milan is that their recent away form in Serie A has been rather good – 3 wins and 1 draw in their last 4 away league games. And mind you, Milan faced some tough teams from the upper half of the table like Lazio and Fiorentina. Another good statistic for the team is the fact that they have scored at least 2 goals per game in their last 3 away league fixtures.
Partidos cara a cara
As one of the most tightly contested derbies in football, matches between Juventus and Milan can go either way. Draws are common in such rivalries and 2 of the last 5 competitive games between these teams have ended in a stalemate. Milan have a slight advantage over Juventus, having won 2 of the last 5 games, as opposed to Juventus, who have just 1 win to their name. Bookings are also common with 2 of the last 3 meetings seeing over 4.5 cards.
