Juventus have a busy week coming up with this game at home to AC Milan followed in midweek by the first leg of their Champions League quarter final against Real Madrid. It's Serie A business first and Juventus lead the table by two points from Napoli. It had been four points but narrowed when Juventus were held to a draw in their last game at relegation-threatened Spal. Only Tottenham have scored against Juventus in the last fifteen games the league leaders have played and in Serie A, it's ten games without conceding and they are yet to concede a Serie A goal this year. Goals aren't always that plentiful though and their last six games have all had under 2.5 goals scored in them. At home this season, Juventus have won twelve, drawn one and lost one with just four goals conceded. Therir home record sees just one home defeat in Serie A in their last 51 games going back to 2015 so Milan have a massive task this weekend.

AC Milan exited the Europa League to Arsenal at the last sixteen stage and need a good run-in to be in Europe next season. They are sixth in Serie A and that's the final Europa League place but they are only six points ahead of seventh placed Atlanta. However, they are only five points adrift of Inter who occupy the final Champions League qualification place. They are unbeaten in their last ten league games and won the last five and now have three crucial games against Juventus followed by a home match against Inter and a trip to second-placed Napoli. A good run will boost their hopes of a return to the Champions League but three poor results might see them not even qualify for Europe.  They have won their last three away league games and kept clean sheets in each of them. Juventus have home advantage though and as long as that upcoming Champions League game isn't on their minds too much, they can get a home win.
