Prediction, Odds & Betting tips for Juventus vs. AC Milan at Serie A
This is a direct clash for the UEFA Champions League spot. AC Milan holds on to the fourth position in Serie A with five more points than Juve, who was fined 10 points for various reasons. Serie A lost plenty of its credibility with how they handled Old Lady’s case, deducting points, then returning before another penalty. Still, the team from Turin has some chances to reach the most prominent European competition, but a win here is a must-do.
Juventus
The Old Lady lost last week in Empoli, 4-1, which was a massive upset and a hard slap in the face. With those three points, they would be in a much better position regarding the Champions League race.
It seems that the team couldn’t recover from elimination from the Europa League semis. The loss in Sevilla was a kick in the teeth and, for some, the game that could lead to Allegri’s exit. The experienced coach made some moves that infuriated the fans.
They are angry with the way Dusan Vlahovic is treated. The Serbian could leave Turin this summer, and the top reason for that would be Juve’s head coach, who has an odd relationship with his striker.
AC Milan
A 5-1 win over poor Sampdoria was the first following three straight losses in which this team couldn’t score. Milan’s game fell apart in the worst possible moment of the year, and that’s why this team lost in the Champions League semis and has a problem securing fourth place in the standings.
Rossoneri is terrible on the road lately, with five straight events without a victory, only two over the past 13 outings. Simply, Stefano Pioli’s unit performs badly when playing away from San Siro.
The efficiency on the recent road trips is low, and the most recent five of them saw two goals at most.
Juventus: Perin; Gatti, Bremer, Sandro; Barbieri, Miretti, Locatelli, Paredes, Kostic; Milik, Vlahovic
AC Milan: Maignan; Calabria, Tomori, Thiaw, Hernandez; Tonali, Krunic; Saelemaekers, Diaz, Leao; Giroud
Milan won back in October, 2-0. That was the fourth meeting in a row in which Rossoneri didn’t lose against Juventus, and three in a row where with under 2.5 goals.
Sunday’s contest is do-or-die for the hosts, who, despite all the flaws, look better than Milan right now. Rossoneri are very bad on the road, losing points against much weaker teams than Juve. That’s the reason we pick Juventus to triumph. Even though many believe their morale is ruined after all the recent blows, the Old Lady still has enough power to beat the mediocre adversaries.
Our verdict: Juventus wins
