Juventus vs AC Milan Preview: Team News, H2H, early injury news, probable lineups, tickets, odds and more

Igor Tudor'sJuventus prepare to face fierce rivals, AC Milan, in supreme form under ex-boss Massimiliano Allegri at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday night in what promises to be an early title decider in Serie A. 

Juventus began the season in excellent form, and their thrilling 4-3 victory over Inter Milan in the Derby d'Italia sent shockwaves across the continent. The excellent Tudor has made his side free scoring, utilising the special talents of Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceicao. However, their fast start hit a stumbling block as they drew their last four games in all competitions despite scoring eight goals. The usual stubborn defence of Juventus has let in more goals than usual, with individual mistakes taking their toll. The manager's frustration was well evident when they dropped points against Villarreal midweek, following the league draws against Atalanta and Verona. This puts them in an awkward place as a side full of confidence visits them on Sunday.

Allegri, who knows Juventus all too well, will be looking to exploit the defensive frailties of a side with whom he won five Scudettos. After a shock loss to Cremonese on the opening day, the Rossoneri recovered with strong performances against Lecce, Bologna and Udinese. Last week's 2-1 shock victory against Napoli was a true title statement as Christian Pulisic ran riot against the defending champions. With a strong defensive core, Allegri's team has plenty of seniority in their ranks to go all the way. This fixture is rarely high-scoring, but with the visitors in solid form, the script may change this time.

Juventus vs AC Milan Key Matchups

Kenan Yildiz vs Alexis Saelemaekers - The Turkish international's stock is ever rising as he is lighting up the Allianz Stadium with his performances. It is near impossible to keep Yildiz quiet with his tendency to drop deep, peel out wide or even pop one out from distance. Saelemaekers, who is enjoying life as a wing-back, will be reminded of his defensive duties when he goes up against Yildiz.

Manuel Locatelli vs Luka Modric - Modric is sprinkling his stardust on Serie A as he seamlessly adapts to the new league. Having fought an epic battle with Kevin de Bruyne last week, he is ready to face another challenge in Locatelli. The Italian midfielder is in high spirits after a sound start to the season as well. This battle will most certainly determine the fate of the game.

Pierre Kalulu vs Christian Pulisic - Pulisic is in the form of his life, having played a decisive role in the victory against Napoli. Under Allegri, he has the freedom to play anywhere across the frontline and drag the opposition. Closing marking him will be his ex-teammate Kalulu, who is thriving after a switch to Turin. The French defender is an expert in defending wide areas and channels and will clash against Pulisic there.

Juventus vs AC Milan Predictions

Juventus and Milan head into this clash in widely varying form. It might just give Milan an edge to nick all three points away from Turin and continue building their title charge.

GOAL's Prediction: Juventus 1-2 Milan

Juventus team news

Tudor will anxiously await the fitness report of Conceicao and Khephren Thuram, and Gleison Bremer after the trio picked up knocks in recent encounters. He is already without the services of Juan Cabal, Fabio Miretti and Arkadiusz Milik. His priority must be to fix a defence that hasn't kept a clean sheet in five games. 

Predicted Lineup: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Gatti, Kelly; Cambiasso, Locatelli, Koopmeiners, Cambiaso; Yildiz, Conceicao; Openda

Allegri will be sweating over the fitness of Fikayo Tomori, who might miss out with an adductor injury. Pervis Estupinan will serve his suspension after picking up a red card against Napoli. The rest of the lineup is expected to mirror the one that faced Napoli.

Predicted Lineup: Maignan; De Winter, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Rabiot, Bartesaghi; Gimenez, Pulisic

The Last Meeting

Milan dumped out Juventus in the Super Cup just a fortnight ago in January before travelling to Turin. Sergio Conceicao's Milan side were lacklustre in the league, and it showed in their performance. Thiago Motta's Juventus scored two second-half goals through Samuel Mbangula and Timothy Weah to seal all three points.
