This Sunday evening we have a treat as two Italian giants square off in San Siro! AC Milan have shown great form recently moving into top 4, however this is their toughest test to date as they come up against champions and league leading Juventus who have been nearly flawless in the league. Juve did however lose midweek against Man Utd in Europe by conceding 2 late goals so they’ll be motivated massively to have a bounce back performance.

Team News
AC Milan: Milan will be coming into the game without Bonaventuta, Caldara and Biglia. Also star striker Gonzalo Higuain will have to face late fitness tests to determine whether he will be able to play and that could be a huge blow for Milan if he can’t go against his former side. Otherwise there’s nothing to report. Suso will be the man to watch as his creativity has been put on full display this season.
Juventus: Wingers Bernardeschi and Douglas Costa are both injury doubts for Juve otherwise Allegri has a healthy squad coming into this game. Expect either Cuadrado or Mandzukic to start alongside Dybala and Ronaldo up front. We may see Matuidi start in midfield otherwise don’t expect any other changes from the team that played Man Utd midweek.
Betting Tips and Predictions
This shapes up to be quite an interesting game. Milan are in great form, Juve are playing historically well to start the season. Expect a feisty Milan crowd to make it tough on Juve but we just can’t see Juventus failing to get a result here. Juventus have dominated Milan in recent games, even at San Siro and they have a much better side, plus Higuain being a doubt doesn’t help Milan’s case and neither does their shaky defending which will essentially let them down. Juventus are priced to win at 1.77 so it’s best to wait until the Odds rise up to 2.00 if they do then take that LIVE. Juve over 1.5 goals at 1.95 is a good bet considering how suspect Milan are at the back. Expect a good number of bookings too considering this is a rivalry. We anticipate this to be a 1-2/1-3 win for Juventus.
