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.

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 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. The coach was asked what was missing in this Juventus side that they needed to lift the Scudetto again. Would winning the Coppa Italia change his perception of how this season has transpired?

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.

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. ............

Juventus gets a fitness boost ahead of their game against AC Milan 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. ............

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. ............

Preview: Juventus vs. AC Milan - prediction, team news, lineups After experiencing very different emotions in midweek, Italian giants Juventus and AC Milan meet on Saturday, with second place in Serie A still up for grabs. While Milan watched on as their arch-rivals claimed the Scudetto at San Siro, Juve squeezed through to the Coppa Italia final thanks to a late goal in Rome. Match preview Though they let a two-goal lead from the first leg slip and faced an embarrassing exit, a late twist in Tuesday's 3-2 aggregate win over Lazio eventually saw Juventus book their return to the Italian capital for next month's cup final. Arkadiusz Milik scored only moments after coming on as a substitute to send the Bianconeri through from their semi-final tie, and they will be back at Stadio Olimpico for the decider against Atalanta BC in less than three weeks time. Max Allegri's men can therefore salvage some silverware from another difficult season - with a 15th Coppa Italia trophy now in touching distance - having dramatically fallen off the pace in Serie A of late. A run of two wins from 12 - including draws in their last two top-flight matches, against city rivals Torino and then Cagliari - has left them a distant third place in the table, five points behind Milan and some 22 adrift of top spot. ............ While Allegri once coached Milan and enjoyed great success, his opposite number this weekend represented Juventus as a player - but both men could be looking for new employment in just a few weeks time. Stefano Pioli stands on the precipice, as Milan's sixth straight loss in the Derby della Madonnina was surely the bitterest of all: losing 2-1 to Inter Milan on Monday saw the Nerazzurri formally anointed Serie A champions, after what turned into a tempestuous clash at San Siro. ............ Team News Max Allegri is not expected to rotate his squad despite being involved in an intense Coppa Italia semi-final on Tuesday, and swapping Wojciech Szczesny for cup 'keeper Mattia Perin may be his only change this weekend. While Arkadiusz Milik returned to action in spectacular style, Moise Kean (knee) will be missing again this weekend, while midfielder Fabio Miretti may not return from a foot injury in time to make the bench. Although both Milik and Kenan Yildiz are also vying for selection, Federico Chiesa - who has been directly involved in six Serie A goals against Milan - and Dusan Vlahovic (10 goals from 12 league appearances in 2024) are set to be retained up front. ............ Juventus possible starting lineup: Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Danilo; Cambiaso, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Chiesa, Vlahovic AC Milan possible starting lineup: Maignan; Musah, Thiaw, Gabbia, Florenzi; Adli, Reijnders; Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Leao; Giroud We say: Juventus 1-0 AC Milan Across the last six Serie A games between Juventus and Milan, only once have both sides scored. Another tight contest is on the cards for Saturday, but as the visitors must field a makeshift defence, their hosts can capitalise and close the gap to second place.

“I don’t find anything attractive” Pundit criticises Juventus playing style Former Premier League star Nigel Reo-Coker has blasted Juventus for their uninteresting style of play under Max Allegri. The Bianconeri are not the most exciting team to watch under their current manager, who prioritises winning over playing attractive football. Juve has been the biggest club in Italian football for decades, but they are currently not living up to that reputation, which might cost Allegri his job. ............ He said, while on punditry duty on CBS Sport Golazo: “It’s embarrassing to watch. You see her play and you think… we’re in the It’s not true that the result is the only thing that matters, there is also an element of style and satisfaction that cannot be overlooked when we think about a team’s play. “We have seen managers fired by Real Madrid despite having won the League or the Champions League. And Juve is a club where there has always been a winning mentality. I don’t find anything attractive or interesting about watching them play just like Inter are.” ............

3 semifinali di coppa Italia di qualche anno fa

Three Juventus players risk missing Coppa Italia final with yellow-card suspension A trio of Juventus players are one booking away from skipping the potential Coppa Italia final due to a suspension. The Bianconeri will clash heads with Lazio this evening in the second leg of the semi-final and they’ll be eyeing a spot in the grand finale. ............ Three Juventus stars could miss the grand occasion, as they’re currently one booking away from earning a suspension. The men in question are Manuel Locatelli, Filip Kostic and Timothy Weah. ............ Locatelli and Kostic are expected to start this evening at the Stadio Olimpico while Weah will be dropped to the bench following an underwhelming outing against Cagliari. Allegri will be particularly worried about Locatelli who is considered an integral player in his tactical system. Thus, the manager would loathe to negotiate the final in the absence of the Italian midfielder. ............

How much reaching the Coppa Italia final is worth for Juventus The Coppa Italia has become the ultimate resort for Juventus to end their trophy drought, but it would also constitute a significant financial boost. This evening, Max Allegri’s men will be the favorites to advance to the competition’s final at the expense of Lazio. ............ Reaching the final of the Coppa Italia could yield 16 million euros through various revenue streams. First things first, qualifying for the grand finale on its own is worth 5 million euros. This figure would rise to 7.6M if the club lifts the trophy. Moreover, reaching the Coppa Italia final would grant Juventus entry to the Italian Super Cup. The competition has been expanded to a four-team tournament starting this year, featuring the Serie A champion and its runner-up, in addition to the two Coppa Italia finalists. So with Inter and Milan ahead of the Bianconeri in the league table, the Coppa Italia final should be the club’s most viable path towards the Super Cup which will be held in Saudi Arabia in January 2025. This competition offers a total prize money of 23 million euros, with the winner collecting 8M.

Tudor without 4 Lazio regulars for decisive Juventus clash Igor Tudor has confirmed his 21-man Lazio squad for the decisive Coppa Italia semi-final clash with Juventus, leaving out four first-team regulars. The Biancocelesti need to put in a strong performance in the second leg of their cup semi-final tie with the Old Lady, having lost the first match 2-0 in Turin. Whilst fortunes have started to improve in Rome since then, it’s been a different story for Massimiliano Allegri’s side. ............ Lazio announced Tudor’s 21-man squad for the Coppa Italia semi-final clash with Juventus, confirming the absences of Manuel Lazzari, Mattia Zaccagni and Ivan Provedel, as well as Daichi Kamada, which comes as more of a surprise. Lazio Squad Set to Face Off Against Juventus Goalkeepers: Mandas, Sepe, Renzetti; Defenders: Pellegrini, Patric, Romagnoli, Casale, Hysaj, Gila, Marusic; Midfielders: Vecino, Guendouzi, Luis Alberto, Cataldi, Rovella; Forwards: Felipe Anderson, Pedro, Immobile, Isaksen, Castellanos, Diego Gonzalez.

The probable Juventus lineup vs Lazio – Kostic & McKennie reclaim spots Juventus coach Max Allegri will introduce a few changes to his starting lineup in tonight’s cup clash against Lazio. The two sides will lock horns at the Stadio Olimpico for the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final. The Bianconeri are riding a two-goal advantage thanks to their first-leg victory in Turin. Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic were the authors of the two strikes last time around, and they will lead the line once more on Tuesday. The two strikers will get the nod at the expense of Kenan Yildiz and Arkadiusz Milik who will be expected to feature in the second period. ............
