8th October 2022 – 18:00, Stadio San Siro, Milano
Milan and Juventus will face each other in the derby match of the Serie A 9th round. The home side wants to get closer to the top spot, while the visitors want to stay in the race for the Champions League ticket.
Milan Preview & Team News
Milan wants a better result after the 3-0 Champions League loss in their previous game against Chelsea. That was their second defeat in the last five games in all competitions, but the Rossoneri are just three points behind the top-placed Napoli and Atalanta. It has been a rare occasion in recent times where Milan has shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Milan has seen their defense breached in 6 of their previous six clashes, leaking nine goals along the way. They need to be much tighter in the back and should stabilize their form to defend the Serie A title at the end of the campaign. Alexis Saelemaekers (Bruised Knee), Davide Calabria (Hamstring Injury), Zlatan Ibrahimović (Knee Surgery), and Alessandro Florenzi (Hamstring Injury) miss out here.
Juventus Preview & Team News
Juventus will go into the match following on from a 3-1 Champions League win to beat Maccabi Haifa in their last fixture. However, the Bianconeri haven’t been convincing in the Serie A, winning just once in the last four rounds. The stats don’t lie, and Juventus have been scored against in 5 of their last six games, seeing opposing sides hit eight goals in total. At the back, Juventus just haven’t been too solid at all. Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Federico Chiesa (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Kaio Jorge (Patella rupture), and Paul Pogba (Knee Surgery) will miss out on this game. Ángel Di María is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Juventus has been struggling on the road, failing to win in its three trips in Serie A. Although Milan hasn’t been too consistent lately, we think the hosts are closer to victory in this match.
Goals Market Prediction
Since neither team has been solid in the back recently, we don’t expect them to keep the clean sheet. Therefore, the crowd at Stadio San Siro should enjoy goals in both nets.
