The Supercoppa Italiana will take place in the Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah on Wednesday, where Juventus take on Milan.
With the Bianconeri having won both the Serie A title and Coppa Italia trophy for the fourth season in a row last year, Gennaro Gattuso’s men are the opposition after finishing as runners up in the cup.
Latest odds
Having come out on top in each of the last six encounters between the sides, the champions are 10/19 (1.53) favourites with SportPesa to lift this trophy for the sixth season in eight.
However, the Rossoneri claimed a penalty shootout victory when this pair last met in the Supercoppa back in 2016, and you can get odds of 59/20 (3.95) on them keeping the scores level after 90 minutes once again, or 23/4 (6.75) to pull off a shock win in normal time.

Team news
Andrea Barzagli, Daniele Rugani, Medhi Benatia and Joao Cancelo are all missing from the defence, while Mario Mandzukic and Juan Cuadrado are also unavailable through injury.
Mattia Caldara, Lucas Biglia and Giacomo Bonaventura are all injured, with Suso ruled out due to suspension.
Solid Bianconeri
Despite the numerous defensive absentees, Massimiliano Allegri will still be able to field more or less his favoured backline that includes Alex Sandro, Leanardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini.
In fact, Milan are more likely to miss the creative influence of Suso after struggling for cutting edge recently, having scored just three goals within normal time in their last seven fixtures.
Having conceded just 15 goals in 26 matches this season, Juventus will therefore back themselves to keep at bay an opponent that has scored past them just once in the last four meetings.
Predictions
With this in mind, odds of 27/20 (2.35) are not to be missed on them winning to nil for the fourth game in five against their rivals.
