AC Milan vs Juventus Prediction & Betting Tips (22 October)

Italian champion in 2022, AC Milan was less festive last year and had to settle for 4th place in Serie A. The Lombard team therefore preserved its qualification for the Champions League but it did not. owes only to the points penalty inflicted on Juventus. Eager to perform better this season, the Rossoneri aim to fight for the Scudetto. They are meeting expectations for the moment, as evidenced by their 1st place in the ranking and their record of 7 victories and 1 defeat.

The only setback was conceded in front of the Inter fans during the 4th day 5-1. Since this correction, AC Milan has in turn won against Hellas Verona 1-0, Cagliari 1-3, Lazio 2-0 and Genoa 0-1. In the Champions League, Rafael Leao's teammates started with 2 draws against Newcastle 0-0 and Dortmund 0-0.

For this poster, AC Milan must deal with several defections. Indeed, goalkeeper Maignan is suspended this weekend following his expulsion against Genoa. This is also the case for captain Theo Hernandez who has accumulated too many yellow cards. Otherwise, the important midfielders Loftus-Cheek and Krunic, the winger Chukwueze, the French defender Kalulu and the unused Caldara take their place in the infirmary. Back in training after a long injury, Algerian midfielder Bennacer could be too tight this Sunday evening. The workforce is therefore very reduced. The attackers Pulisic (4 goals and 1 assist in SA), Leao (3 goals and 3 assists in SA) and Giroud (4 goals and 3 assists in SA) are, however, all available and should start this weekend. Excellent for a few weeks and new darling of San Siro, the former Bordeaux player Adli is also applying. On the Juventus side, the experienced defenders De Sciglio and Alex Sandro are still missing. They were joined in the infirmary by executive Danilo.

Furthermore, the Old Lady is not spared from extra-sporting affairs. Midfielders Pogba and Fagioli are respectively suspended for doping and involvement in a sports betting affair. To support the midfield captains Locatelli and Rabiot, Allegri could give his confidence to the young and creative Miretti. Recovered from his muscle injury, striker Chiesa (4 goals and 1 assist in SA) could be available again (uncertain). So not sure if he will start. Thus, the offensive duo should be composed of the solid Milik (2 goals and 1 assist in SA) and Vlahovic (4 goals and 1 assist in SA). The latter has also just returned from an injury. With 6 goals conceded, the Rossoneri have the 2nd defense in the championship.
