Milan suffer more injury woes ahead of their match against Juventus
AC Milan will be without Luka Jovic for their game against Juventus later today.
The Bianconeri will face Milan in a match that is a direct clash between two rivals competing for second place in the league table.
Max Allegri’s men are eager to win more fixtures to close the gap between the two clubs, and this match presents them with a good opportunity to do so.
They have been handed a boost as Jovic is suffering from a muscle strain and will be unavailable for the game.
He joins Theo Hernandez, Davide Calabria, Fikayo Tomori, and likely Simon Kjaer on the list of Milan stars who will miss the game. ............

Juventus vs. AC Milan match preview
Most years, a late-season meeting at the end of April between Juventus and AC Milan would garner attention for good number of days before things actually kick off. Throw into the fact that both teams are sitting in the top three, then you have the makings of all the storylines that the Italian press oh so desires: it’s the big matchup between two of the biggest clubs in Serie A with plenty at stake.
... well, that’s the case most years.
This late-season matchup between Juve and Milan doesn’t have the same pop as previous years certainly had. The Scudetto has already been wrapped up. Milan’s grip on second place seems pretty safe mostly because the team directly behind them, Juventus, have been playing like a team that might get relegated over the last 12 games. ............
It’s all quite the setting for a Juventus team that has one win in their last six, two wins since the start of February and has seen nearly all of their 18-point advance over fifth place from three months ago almost completely disappear.
It’s not like Milan’s form in all competitions is all the more impressive. While they have four wins in their last six league fixtures, they enter their trip to Turin having lost three out of their last four between Serie A and the Europa League, with a pair of losses to Roma and another to Inter in the Scudetto-deciding fixture happening all within the last two weeks. ............
And while Allegri will have a nearly full-strength squad, Milan will head to Turin without three of their four starting defenders, with Theo Hernandez, Davide Calabria and Fikayo Tomori all suspended thanks to what all went down in the Derby della Madonnina back on Monday night at San Siro.
In theory, that should benefit Juventus as they go against a mostly second-string defense that Pioli will be forced to trot out. But, as we know, Juventus has had games where they create very little and can’t score the few chances they get, or they create plenty of chances and then their finishing in front of goal is what lets them down time and time again.
That is evident by the simple numbers of the last 12 games in which Allegri’s squad has had the form of a relegation battler, scoring just 12 goals over that span.
The only teams who have scored fewer times than that? Lecce, Udinese and Salernitana, who just sealed their ticket back to Serie B with Friday’s loss to fellow relegation candidate Frosinone. ............
Because, let’s be honest, it’s not like the first time these two teams met was all that glamorous. Juventus won, but even against a 10-man Milan team for nearly an hour it was far fro man impressive kind of showing. And now you factor in what has happened over the last three months? Oh boy. I’m feeling uneasy no matter how many Milan defenders are suspended and forced to watch at home back in Lombardi.
TEAM NEWS
- Moise Kean is the only Juve player who is expected to miss the Milan game due to injury.
- The other two players who will not take part are the two suspended midfielders, Nicolo Fagioli and Paul Pogba. Fagioli is officially less than a month away from being eligible to play in an official game again, with his suspension coming to an end on May 20.
- At his pre-match press conference, Allegri said that Bremer was dealing with “a slight injury” against Cagliari and that he’s “better now,” but still has to decide Saturday morning about the Brazilian’s status.
- Two Juve players are at risk of being suspended for the trip to Rome next weekend if they are shown a yellow against Milan: Timothy Weah and Andrea Cambiaso.
JUVENTUS PLAYER TO WATCH
Somebody in a black and white jersey will have the responsibility of trying to keep one of the most explosive players in Serie A, Rafael Leao, under wraps Saturday evening.
Based on the predicted lineups that are out there, it is likely going to be an American out wide on the right.
The thing is, we don’t know which U.S. international. So we’ll just go in a broad sense.
Some say it will be Weston McKennie starting out wide against Milan. Others think it will be Timothy Weah on the right as one of the two wingbacks in Allegri’s 3-5-2. Either way, the two USMNT fixtures will have a very large task no matter who is starting: trying to keep pace with Leao, who has three goals and two assists in his last six appearances in all competitions. ............
MATCH INFO
When: Saturday, April 27, 2024.
Where: Allianz Stadium, Turin, Italy.
Official kickoff time: 6 p.m. in Italy and the Central European time zone, 5 p.m. in the United Kingdom, 12 p.m. Eastern time, 9 a.m. Pacific time. ............

Preview: Juventus vs Milan – Team News, Lineups & Prediction
Allianz Stadium sets the stage for a blockbuster Serie A showdown between eternal rivals Juventus and Milan. Saturday’s clash in Turin is a battle between the two sides keen to finish ‘best of the rest’ after Inter claimed the Scudetto earlier this week.
It’s been another disappointing season for Juventus, even though they’re on the verge of returning to the Champions League group stages after a season-long absence. Massimiliano Allegri’s men sit third in the table ahead of this round, boasting a comfortable ten-point lead on sixth-placed Atalanta. ............
Match Preview
Juventus
Juventus fans voiced their discontent with Allegri’s management again as Bianconeri shared the spoils with relegation-threatened Cagliari in a 2-2 draw last time out after giving up two first-half penalties. Another sub-below performance fuelled supporters’ rage, with the record-time Italian champions now winless in six of their seven most recent league outings (D3, L3).
Overcoming Lazio in midweek Coppa Italia action to reach the grand final offered some light at the end of the tunnel. However, Allegri has a more pressing matter to address before his troops take on Atalanta in the title-deciding fixture later this month.
Notoriously wasteful in the front third, Juventus have failed to score before halftime in 20 of their 33 league games this season. It’s their worst first-half tally since 2007/08, perhaps best explaining the club faithful’s unrest. But there’s a silver lining.
Juventus are unbeaten in their last five home games in Serie A (W3, D2) and have racked up three consecutive clean sheets in Turin in the build-up to this encounter.
Milan
In contrast to Juventus’ well-documented scoring woes, Milan have been lethal this season, with only Inter (79) bettering their decent-looking tally of 64 Serie A goals. Particularly proactive on the road, Pioli’s men have netted 2+ goals on their last three Serie A travels (W2, D1), contributing to an impressive ratio of 2.17 goals per away league match this season. ............
Team News
Nicolo Fagioli’s return from suspension for breaching betting rules is just around the corner, but he’s still unavailable. The same goes for Paul Pogba, while there’s hope for Moise Kean to make the matchday squad amidst a minor knee problem.
As for Milan, Pierre Kalulu and Tommaso Pobega are in the treatment room, while Simon Kjaer has to beat the clock to put himself at Pioli’s disposal. Fikayo Tomori accumulated yellow cards against Inter and will remain on the sidelines.
That’s not the end of Pioli’s troubles. Davide Calabria and Theo Hernandez lost their tempers at an ill-tempered tail-end of the Derby della Madonnina, picking up straight reds, which makes them unavailable for selection.
Juventus vs Milan Potential Lineups
Juventus (3-5-2): Wojciech Szczesny; Federico Gatti, Gleison Bremer, Danilo; Andrea Cambiaso, Weston McKennie, Manuel Locatelli, Adrien Rabiot, Filip Kostic; Federico Chiesa, Dusan Vlahovic.
Milan (4-2-3-1): Mike Maignan; Yunus Musah, Malick Thiaw, Matteo Gabbia, Alessandro Florenzi; Yacine Adli, Tijjani Reijnders; Christian Pulisic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Rafael Leao; Olivier Giroud.
Juventus vs Milan Prediction
Malick Thiaw’s first-half expulsion helped Juventus grab a narrow 1-0 win in the reverse fixture. Another low-scoring contest could be on the cards, but we expect a depleted Milan to settle the account.
Prediction: Milan Win

Pioli reveals what they must do to hurt Juventus this weekend
AC Milan manager Stefano Pioli knows that Juventus will be a tough nut to crack when both clubs meet in Serie A this weekend.
The Bianconeri are eager to win the game and close the gap between them and Milan in the standings.
However, the Milan club is determined to remain second in the standings by the end of the season, having already lost the top spot to Inter Milan. ............
Asked what his team must do to win, the Milan manager said:
“We will have to fight, give our all, as if it were our last match, be focused, determined. We want to defend second place.” ............

“Juve can’t play with fire.” Pavan warns Juventus ahead of the AC Milan match
Juventus has an important fixture this weekend as they face AC Milan. They must win this game to maintain the narrow gap between them and Bologna. ............
However, they are not the only threat, as AS Roma is currently only six points behind the Bianconeri, with Atalanta also in close pursuit.
This makes every remaining match a must-win for Juventus, starting with the weekend fixture against Milan. ............
Massimo Pavan insists that Juventus must avoid playing with fire and ensure they win their remaining matches.
He said:
“We need a victory against Milan because Juve can’t play with fire.
“Roma are two victories away, Atalanta potentially at minus 7, their place in the Champions League is still far from certain.” ............

Allegri: Next season will be beautiful for Juventus
Coach’s comments ahead of Juventus clash against Milan
/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/73308967/2149938799.0.jpg)
Juventus will host Milan with a last opportunity to rein in the second-placed side and get the closing stanza to their own season back on track. Two wins in the last twelve games has not only seen Juve fall out of contending for the Scudetto, but there’s a very real chance now that fourth-placed Bologna could overhaul them with the two teams set to meet in the penultimate weekend of the season.
Speaking during his pre-match press conference, coach Massimiliano Allegri talked about the upcoming game.
“Tomorrow is Juventus-Milan, always a good game to play. Milan are a strong team with valuable players. Winning the [Coppa Italia] semi-final has allowed us to partially achieve one of our objectives.
“Now we have three games before the final where we have to get as many possible points to qualify for the Champions League.
“Tomorrow is a match, in case of a victory which won’t be easy, that can give us the opportunity to get to second place. Next season will be beautiful, because when you play a lot of competitions it’s stimulating.” ............
The coach was asked what was missing in this Juventus side that they needed to lift the Scudetto again.
“The club and those who carry out the transfer market must answer this question. I am the coach and not the transfer market. We must remain focused on our Champions League objective. This would allow us to see Juventus in more competitions and then there’s the economic aspect.
“Now we have to stay focused, because the teams behind us are scoring points. We have to be good at playing a good game and winning again in the league.” ............
Would winning the Coppa Italia change his perception of how this season has transpired?
“These are not my exploits, they belong to everyone. Of a strong club, of a strong team. When we are at Juventus everyone must have the ambition to win. Then if the others are better, we have to work to improve. ............

Bologna sets up road blocks in Juventus way towards Thiago Motta
Bologna remains determined to keep Thiago Motta as their manager, even as Juventus circles the former Italy midfielder.
Motta is arguably the most sought-after manager in Serie A this season as he leads his unfancied Bologna side toward qualification for next season’s Champions League.
Interestingly, they could overtake Juventus in the league standings before the campaign ends and finish third. ............
However, Bologna wants to keep him, and they have prepared a two-year deal to offer him if they qualify for the Champions League.
They are confident he will want to lead the team in European competition next season and will push to keep him. ............

This could be the perfect time for Juventus to face AC Milan
Tomorrow evening, Juventus welcomes AC Milan to the Allianz Stadium in a game that could have a significant impact on who finishes second behind Inter Milan in the standings. All things considered, this could be the perfect time for Juve to face their fierce rivals.
Juventus has home advantage and goes into the game in good spirits following their progress to the Coppa Italia final. Meanwhile, Milan has just lost at home to bitter local rivals Inter, which saw the Nerazzurri claim the Scudetto. ............
So, in essence, we have two teams in very different places right now. Juve is in a very positive mood, having reached a cup final, while Milan will be devastated by what transpired this week.
Of course, this does not mean that it will be a walkover for Juve. They will be up against a good side that certainly dislikes the Bianconeri and will be desperate to win in Turin. However, football is an emotional sport and right now, Juve is in far better shape in that regard.
It will be a tough match, but Juve does have the advantage. Milan will be weakened because of suspensions, and the timing of this game is probably as good as it can be for Juventus.

PREDICTED LINE-UPS | JUVENTUS V MILAN
The battle for second place in the league standing continues as Milan aim to go clear of competition by defeating chasing pack Juventus.
Juventus scraped past Lazio in the semi-finals in their previous outing to reach the Coppa Italia finals. Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic gave them a headstart in the first-leg and the Biancocelesti equalised the scores on aggregate with a brace from Taty Castellanos in the second. The Bianconceri held onto their nerves and Arkadiusz Milik’s late strike stood the difference between the two sides. ............
Meanwhile, Milan come into this match on the back of a humiliating 2-1 defeat at the hands of neighbourhood rivals Inter as the victory helped the Nerazzurri clinch the Scudetto in front of their fans at the San Siro ............
Here are the predicted line-ups for the match:
Juventus (3-5-2): Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Chiesa, Vlahovic
Milan (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Musah, Thiaw, Gabbia, Florenzi; Adli, Reijnders; Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Leao; Giroud

Juventus gets a fitness boost ahead of their game against AC Milan
/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/73067725/1841147520.0.jpg)
Juventus has been handed a fitness boost as they prepare for their game against AC Milan this weekend.
The Bianconeri are currently five points behind Milan in the league table and are eager to secure a win to close the gap.
Juve also risks falling behind Bologna in the table if they lose this fixture, as only two points separate them from Thiago Motta’s men. ............
There is good news as Moise Kean is now fit again and participated in the team’s latest full training session.
The striker had been injured and was a doubt for the game, but he is back and will hope to score his first goal of the season against Milan. ............

Former Juventus and AC Milan man says their weekend game has no relevance
Former Juventus and AC Milan player José Altafini will watch both teams face each other this weekend with almost no expectations.
He strongly believes that the fixture is not important for either club. ............
Altafini says Milan should focus on preparing for next season, while Juventus should focus on winning the Italian Cup.
He said:
“A match that unfortunately counts for little compared to the past. Milan now have to think about next year ; while Juve can and he would do better to concentrate only on the possibility of winning the Italian Cup.” ............

Allegri will not resign or give up some of his wages to leave Juventus
Max Allegri is expected to leave Juventus at the end of this season, even though the Bianconeri have continued to publicly back him.
The manager is struggling to get results from the Juventus players, which is why the club is expected to replace him at the end of the season.
However, Allegri still has a year left on his current deal, which is worth around 20 million euros to Juventus.
This means that if he leaves in the summer, the club will have to pay that amount to terminate his contract.
While some managers might resign under such conditions or agree to take pay cuts to facilitate their departure, Allegri will not resign, nor will he accept a pay cut to leave Juventus. ............
