AC Milan will return to action on Sunday with a home game against Juventus in the Italian Serie A. These two sides are four points apart, Milan leading the standings on 21 points while Juventus are third. This will easily slot in as the match of the week in the Serie A. Milan will seek to build on their six-game unbeaten run here. The last time they tasted defeat was in a 5-1 loss to arch rivals Inter Milan. Since then, they’ve powered up defensively, conceding just a goal in their last six matches. In four wins in five matches, Milan have managed victories without conceding in three.

Goalkeeper Mike Maignan was sent off in that game and Olivier Giroud stepped up in goal.

Juventus have failed to beat Milan in the last five meetings. They will hope to change the narrative here. a 2-0 win over Torino in the Turin derby. Arkadiusz Milik scored in their last two matches and will be looking to extend the same here. The win over Torino was Juventus’ third straight unbeaten game; they’ve won two. That was also the third time in five matches that they scored more than a goal. In their last three matches, they have kept clean sheets, all ending in under 2.5 goals. These two sides met in a July friendly match, which ended 2-2. However, in competitive action, Juventus have three losses in five matches against Milan. Juventus have actually not won in the last five meetings with Milan. Juventus have scored under 2.5 goals in four of their last five away matches. Each of their last two matches had under 2.5 goals.
