Juventus vs Milan Prediction

🔊 Will Juventus draw once again? In 13 out of 20 Serie A matches involving the "Old Lady," a winner could not be determined. However, it's worth noting that Juventus and Milan met earlier in January in the Italian Super Cup, where the "Rossoneri" won 2-1. In this situation, we will try to analyze all the details to provide you with an accurate prediction for the upcoming clash at the Allianz Stadium.

📊 Head-to-Head

In head-to-head encounters, Juventus has a noticeable advantage in results. Over a span of 50 matches, the "Old Lady" claimed 27 victories, while Milan was stronger only in 11 cases. However, recently, the Turin team has been struggling to achieve the desired results. In only 1 out of 10 games did Juventus celebrate a victory, and on January 3rd, in the Italian Super Cup semi-final, they even suffered a defeat with a score of 1-2.

⚫ Juventus

Times change, but Juventus remains the same. The team continues to extend its unbeaten run in the current Serie A season; however, there are some nuances: they often end matches in draws and occupy only the fifth place in the standings. The last game against Atalanta, which took place on January 14th, ended with a very predictable result (1-1). Yet, in terms of play, the "Old Lady" noticeably outperformed their opponent. Despite the match being held in Bergamo and Atalanta being in the championship race, it was Juventus that showed more activity in creating dangerous moments (1.73-1.39 in xG, 9-6 in shots on goal, 3-2 in goal-scoring chances). As for the upcoming clash, Thiago Motta will not be able to count on 5 players, including Dusan Vlahovic and Francisco Conceição.

🔴 Milan

7 - that's how many consecutive matches Milan has not lost. Under Sergio Conceição's leadership, the "Rossoneri" have been playing much more confidently both in attack and defense, not counting random goals against them. In their last game, the team managed to secure an away victory over a strong Como (2-1), which had troubled almost all the giants of the Italian championship. Theo Hernandez is in excellent form, becoming Milan's top-scoring defender (30), surpassing the legendary Paolo Maldini. Regarding the upcoming clash, 6 players will be unavailable, including Alvaro Morata (accumulation of yellow cards) and Christian Pulisic, who was injured against Como.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

The upcoming match is likely to delight neutral spectators with a significant number of goals. Juventus and Milan share many similar characteristics, but their main common trait is that both teams show confident attacking play but have not been able to keep a clean sheet for quite some time. The bet both teams to score (yes) has come through in 8 out of Juventus's last 10 matches and Milan's last 5 games. The most reliable approach is to consider this betting option once again.

🚩 Corner Prediction

As we have already noted, Juventus and Milan like to play football with an emphasis on attack, which is why both teams are among the best in terms of corners earned. In this statistical parameter, the "Old Lady" ranks seventh in Serie A, approaching the corner flag 5.0 times per game. Milan, with an average total of 5.7 corners, is even in the top 3. Only Inter (6.2) and Napoli (6.0) have higher numbers. We think that a bet on total corners over 9.5 should come through without any issues.

📝 Editorial Prediction

According to bookmakers, Juventus is a slight favorite in the upcoming clash. However, the "Old Lady" has repeatedly emphasized through their games that betting on their outcomes is unwise - even against less serious opponents, they often end matches in draws. In such a situation, it's better not to risk and place a bet on both teams to score (yes), which has high chances of success. Firstly, both teams score a lot. The last time Juventus left the field without scoring was way back on November 27th (0-0 against Aston Villa), while Milan has scored against their opponents in 11 out of their last 12 matches. Secondly, both teams are prone to unexpected mistakes on their half of the field. Whether it's Federico Gatti scoring a ridiculous own goal or Mike Maignan letting a slow-rolling ball into his net. We wouldn't be surprised if the match ends with a score of 2-2.
