Juventus v AC Milan Betting Tips – Coppa Italia Final 9th May 8.00pm
It is the Final of the Coppa Italia in midweek and Juventus are standing on the threshold of a domestic double. They have taken control of the Serie A title race and booked a comfortable win on the weekend. AC Milan also won in the league on Saturday and they will be heading into this showdown as underdogs. Can they prevent Juve from getting at least one of the pieces of silverware that they seem destined for?
Juventus News and Form
With Juve now fully within touching distance of the league title, needing just one more point, so they can be more relaxed about focusing on the Coppa Italia title. They have been going strong again and they haven’t had many off days at the office this season really to speak about. They started their cup campaign with a 2-0 home win over Genoa, then they beat Atalanta 2-0 on aggregate in the semi-finals. A lot of the strength of Juventus is at the back, how well they defend and put themselves on the line. However, they have only managed to take the two clean sheets in their last nine games in all competitions. One of those was a 3-1 league win over AC Milan so both teams to at bet365 is a good 3/4 odds option* (Betting Odds taken at 11:45 pm. on May 6th, 2018). The Old Lady are W5 D1 L1 in their last seven games in all competitions and they scored at least three goals in each of those wins through that sequence.
In the bet365 correct score market a Juventus 3-1 result is at 16/1 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 11:45pm. on May 6th, 2018) which is a repeat of their recent league meeting, while the shortest priced option is a Juventus 1-0 at 5/1* (Betting Odds taken at 11:45 pm. on May 6th, 2018). AC Milan haven’t really been in hot form at all as they have gone W2 D4 L2 in their last eight matches (all league games). But they haven’t been beaten too often and the two wins in that sequence were in their last two games, so that is positive that they can take from that. They haven’t been prolific in front of goal either really and before their back to back wins, they had netted just two goals in five games. They can’t open up and go toe to toe with the attacking power of Juve, because AC Milan don’t have that same kind of scoring threat. In Serie A, Juventus have scored over 30 goals more than AC Milan have. Milan opened their Coppa Italia campaign with a win over Verona and then after two 0-0 legs in the semi-final against Lazio, AC Milan won through on a penalty shootout. Do they have enough to trouble the Old Lady?
Juventus v AC Milan Head to Head
Juventus are well up in the recent head to head duels with Milan and have already won both league meetings with them this season in Serie A.
