Despite drawing with Udinese last time out, Juventus managed to increase their advantage to eight points over Roma at the summit. While they could try to manage their energy ahead of their Champions League game, it would suit them more to put in a focused performance in order to meet Porto with confidence high.

Milan have won four of their last five games, therefore keeping their chances of a European finish alive. Napoli and Roma dropping points in recent weeks could allow the Rossoneri to dream of a higher finish, but as of now they still need to clinch a top 5 finish.

Milan’s incredible ability to win games in which they might not have deserved three points will surely be tested in this classic match at the Juventus Stadium. Juve are favourites, but were also beaten in the meeting between the two sides earlier in this season, which means they will have extra motivation to win, but they will also need extra effort.

Team News

Juventus:

Massimiliano Allegri is without Juan Cuadrado, which means he could give up using a 4-2-3-1 formation.

The manager could therefore move to a 4-3-3 with Dybala out wide instead of in the centre.

AC Milan:

After alternating with Gianluca Lapadula in recent months, Carlos Bacca seems to have secured the starting spot up front at Milan.

Due to the absence of Ignazio Abate, Vincenzo Montella will probably field Leonel Vangioni at left-back once again and Mattia De Sciglio on the right

Match Facts:

Juventus have won their last 30 home matches (Serie A).

There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 7 of Juventus‘s last 8 games (Serie A).
