AC Milan vs Juventus Preview
AC Milan
Milan’s season has been inconsistent so far. The Rossonieri currently sit in 7th place in Serie A with 18 points from 11 games.
Under new coach Paulo Fonseca, who was hired after his stint at Roma, Milan are lacking stability this season. The team dropped points against 16th-placed Cagliari (3-3) and lost to league leaders Napoli (2-0).

On the other hand, Milan’s Champions League campaign has delivered positive results so far, with the unexpected 3-1 victory over Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu being the main highlight of the season.
Fonseca’s tactics have been criticized for benefiting only several players in the squad, which has resulted in a lack of cohesion.
In recent weeks, Portuguese forward Rafael Leão has been linked with Barcelona. Reports suggest that the Catalan club is making him a transfer target for the summer of 2025.
Milan will face Juventus without Alessandro Florenzi and Ismael Bennacer, who are both sidelined with injuries.

Juventus
Juventus hired Thiago Motta from Bologna, where he managed a top-5 finish, to lead a post-Allegri rebuild. However, the transition has been slower than most had expected.
The team has shifted from Allegri’s pragmatic style to a more possession-oriented approach under Motta, but this has led to dropping points in key games.
Despite this, Juventus remain 6th in the league with 24 points, just two behind league leaders Napoli. Juve have yet to lose a Serie A match this season and still have a chance to win the Scudetto.
Defensive vulnerabilities have been a recurring issue for the Old Lady. This weakness has resulted in several potential victories ending in draws.

Off the pitch, rumors have emerged regarding Douglas Luiz. The summer signing has struggled to adapt to Juventus’s system after a €51.50m transfer and might be returning to Aston Villa.
The team will be without several key players, including Juan Cabal, Nico Gonzalez, Dušan Vlahović, and Arkadiusz Milik.
Additionally, Juventus and Paul Pogba have agreed to terminate his contract after his 18-month suspension for a doping offence. After November 30th, he will be a free agent, and several clubs have already shown interest in the French midfielder.

AC Milan are expected to play mainly through Rafael Leão. The winger is currently one of the best 1v1 wingers in the world.
Although Leão’s output in front of goal still needs some improvement, he is one of the most difficult wingers to contain. The combination of pace and deception in his dribbling makes him one of the most unpredictable forwards in Serie A.

Juventus should also keep an eye on Christian Pulišić, Milan’s most important scorer. Meanwhile, Tijjani Reijnders has been an important link in the midfield from the double pivot. He has been one of the players who benefited most from Fonseca’s arrival and Milan’s renewed tactics.
On the other side, Kenan Yıldız has become one of the most decisive forwards for Juventus. Yıldız is quick-witted and essential for the team’s attacking patterns in the final third. It’s true that he still needs to work on his finishing, but so far, he’s been one of the team’s most consistent players.
AC Milan vs Juventus Analysis
AC Milan have had difficulties in performing as a collective. However, two players benefited from Paulo Fonseca’s approach: Tijjani Reijnders and Christian Pulisic. This means that AC Milan is great in the final third, but the defence is sometimes left behind.
Emerson Royal still plays regularly, even though he has been frequently criticised for his poor performance. Emerson is technically insecure and lacks the positioning as a right-back. This means he will likely face problems against an in-form Yıldız.
19-year-old Kenan Yıldız has 10 G/A for club and country this season.

On the other hand, Juventus have their own struggles in defence. Containing Leão will be Motta’s most important concern. Juve rarely keep a clean sheet, which could lead to an eventful match. Juventus’s recent a 4-4 thriller against Inter Milan confirmed the worries over their backline.
AC Milan vs Juventus Prediction
- Football pick: Juventus to win
- Odds: 3.46 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: AC Milan 1-2 Juventus
Despite both teams’ problems in defence, they excel offensively, which promises plenty of goals. Juventus is unbeaten in Serie A and will aim for a victory to stay in the title race.
Milan’s star winger Rafael Leão, faces pressure to make his mark against a big team amid transfer speculation. Top matches like these will determine whether interested clubs will follow up on their interest.

On Juventus’s side, Kenan Yıldız will be key in breaking down Milan’s inconsistent defense. Both goals he scored this season came in away games and he will be looking to add to his tally.
AC Milan vs Juventus Betting Tip
- Football Pick: Rafael Leão to score
- Odds: 3.6 (22Bet)
In 10 games, Leão scored three goals and assisted another three. While many players dream of such statistics, AC Milan fans expect more, given his quality as a dribbler.
Leão’s main issue is placing his shots efficiently, which the main reason the fans are not satisfied with his play. The match against Juventus is the time for him to prove his worth and show that he’s able to lead the team.
Not seeing him on the scoresheet would be a major disappointment for him and his team and could potentially ruin his chances for a transfer in the future.
