ℹ️
Team News: Juventus
Mattia De Sciglio (unknown injury) and Moise Kean (Knee problems) will not be able to play for Juventus gaffer Massimiliano Allegri.
We think that Juve will probably opt for a 3-5-2 system for this game with Wojciech Szczesny, Federico Gatti, Bremer, Danilo, Andrea Cambiaso, Weston McKennie, Manuel Locatelli, Adrien Rabiot, Filip Kostic, Dusan Vlahovic and Federico Chiesa.
🗞️
Team News: AC Milan
Due to a mostly full-strength group, there’s just the lone fitness worry for the AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli to be concerned about. Pierre Kalulu (Collateral ligament injury) won’t be playing here. Ineligible players who cannot play in this game through suspension are Theo Hernández, Fikayo Tomori and Davide Calabria.
We reckon that i Rossoneri seem likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, choosing Mike Maignan, Yunus Musah, Matteo Gabbia, Malick Thiaw, Alessandro Florenzi, Tijjani Reijnders, Ismaël Bennacer, Christian Pulisic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Rafael Leão and Olivier Giroud.
🔮
Prediction
Our thinking is that AC Milan will likely be able to find the back of the net against this Juventus lineup, although it might not quite be enough to prevent defeat.
We reckon that it will be a very close game with a 2-1 victory for Juventus at the end of this one. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
