AC Milan – Margin for error simply no longer there?
Tuesday’s chastening defeat to Spezia wasn’t without controversy. The Rossoneri were denied a late winner following a bizarre refereeing decision, shortly before the visitors stunned San Siro with a late winner of their own that did ultimately count. Unfortunately for Milan, any inquisition feels counter-intuitive ahead of a decisive period that sees them take on the previous two Italian champions in successive rounds.
Following Sunday’s clash with Juventus comes the Milan derby, both at San Siro. With the gap to leaders Inter at two points, Milan also playing a game more, these are games Stefano Pioli’s men simply must be winning if they are to avoid falling further behind. They had won three on the spin prior to midweek, so were in good form, but have taken just seven of the last eighteen points available when at home (W2 D3 L1).
Key Stat: It is one clean sheets in six Serie A games for AC Milan, who have kept out only one of the previous six visiting teams at the San Siro – the 2-0 win over the division’s bottom side, Salernitana.
Juventus – Allegri has Old Lady singing to the same tune?
Serie A frontrunners Inter are the only team on a longer unbeaten run in Serie A than Juventus, who continue to rise up the standings on the back of six wins and two draws in their last eight league outings. Qualifying for next season’s Champions League is now firmly back on the agenda and a win at San Siro on Sunday could see them climb above Atalanta into fourth provided Le Dea don’t collect three points at Lazio.
They are also comfortably into the Coppa Italia final four, fueling further belief among a group that is rapidly gathering momentum that this season is still capable of delivering tangible success. The Old Lady have been at their strongest defensively. Roma being the only team to net more than once against Massimiliano Allegri’s well-drilled side in the past 11 league games, seven of these resulting in Juve wins to nil.
Key Stat: A positive outcome this weekend could hinge on Juventus registering yet another defensive shutout. All but one of their previous ten Serie A victories were ‘to nil’, recording three consecutive away wins to nil prior to beating Roma 4-3 at the Stadio Olimpico in their most recent away outing.

There was nothing to separate them earlier in the season in a 1-1 draw at Juventus’ Allianz Stadium, but it was AC Milan who required a 76 minute equaliser to salvage a share of the spoils. It continued a running theme in this fixture, with one of the last six head-to-heads in league and cup producing a home win. Juve also thrive against Milan at San Siro, winning this fixture in three of the past four seasons.
AC Milan Vs Juventus – Key Facts:
- One of the previous six Serie A meetings between the sides has produced a winning performance from the home team, with Juventus 3-1 victors on their latest visit to San Siro.
- In fact, Juventus have emerged with maximum points on three of their past four visits to the San Siro when facing AC Milan.
- Sunday’s guests also boast superior form. Juve are unbeaten in eight in Serie A (W6 D2); AC Milan boast three wins in their last four but have won only twice at home in the last six (D1 L3).
A similar outcome this weekend simply looks too big a price to pass up. Juventus are purring right now, unbeaten in eight league games (W6 D2) having won four of their last five away from home which includes results in Rome versus Lazio and Roma. Conversely, Milan are reeling from Tuesday’s Spezia debacle and are clearly susceptible as hosts, dropping points on four occasions (D1 L3) in their last six as the home side.
