The Italian Serie A season’s busy finish continues on Saturday, with four games on the schedule, giving followers plenty to look forward to and watch. The biggest fixtures of the weekend are broadcast live on television, and, as usual, your dedicated team of football writers at 22Bet covers the best. Pick of the bunch sees two giants clash on Saturday from 17:00 GMT when Juventus host AC Milan in a game that has kept pundits guessing. Which side will end on top and grab the three points?
Saturday will be the second time these teams have met in competitive action this season. They fought out a narrow 1-0 win for Juve in Milan back in October. That was the second meeting in a row that produced a 1-0 win for the team playing away from home and the fourth where at least one side failed to find the net. Will this renewal follow that pattern and provide followers with another tense and competitive 90 minutes? Keep reading for our big-match preview and predictions.
Old Lady finishing strong
It’s another season where Juventus won’t win the Serie A title as the famous team continues to recover from a turbulent time in their history. They haven’t been as strong as they were for much of the last decade, but Juve is heading in the right direction, and fans believe it won’t be long before they are back on top of Serie A as champions of Italian football. Is that day approaching? Juventus must learn to turn draws into wins if they are to challenge.
The home team started the week in third place, with their stats for the season showing 18 wins, 10 draws, and five defeats, scoring 47 goals and conceding 26. When taking a closer look at those numbers, we note Juve has a decent defence but must improve going forward, and signing a proven striker could help get them back on track. Four draws in their last six games show where the home team must improve.
Silver medal finish
AC Milan arrives at the home of a great rival. They are second in the Serie A, with only Inter Milan above them in the pecking order. What was shaping up to be a grandstand finish and fight for the title quickly died as Inter Milan showed their class to pull clear in the title race and stamp their authority on the trophy. It’s now between AC Milan and Juventus for second place in the league as both teams aim for the consolation of being crowned best of the rest. An away win would all but confirm a one-two for the teams from Milan.
Bet hereAC Milan did their part in trying to make things interesting and pushed Inter Milan hard every step of the way throughout winter and into spring. The visitors enjoyed a long unbeaten run and an impressive winning streak, but their main problem was that Inter matched them stride-for-stride. Both teams were almost faultless at the business end of the season, but Inter already had done the good work to ensure they won the league.
Juventus vs AC Milan prediction
What a game we have in store here! Although this won’t be a title decider, like it has been in the past, both Juventus and Milan will be desperate to win on Saturday and add three points to their tally. The winner of this game will likely finish second in Serie A behind Inter Milan. The victory also gives one set of fans bragging rights in a fierce rivalry. But which team will end the match on top?
Juve has the home advantage, and that could tip the balance in their favour. If they are at their best, there’s no reason why the home team can’t win and send out a statement of intent ahead of next season. Those in the home dressing room are now playing for their futures at the famous Italian club.
