On January 18, 2025, the 21st round of Serie A will feature a clash between Juventus and AC Milan. Both teams aim to bounce back after disappointing first halves of the season and will be seeking success in Turin.
Our prediction for Juventus vs AC Milan
"The Old Lady" has risen to third place in Serie A after a couple of difficult seasons. They also secured the Coppa Italia trophy, but Allegri was controversially dismissed right after the successful final. Meanwhile, the "Rossoneri" finished as Serie A runners-up in the spring, trailing behind an unchallenged Inter. However, failures in other tournaments led to parting ways with Stefano Pioli.
Pioli was replaced by Paulo Fonseca, whose tenure began with setbacks. However, the Portuguese manager was only dismissed around the New Year. While he achieved some success in tournaments like the Champions League and Coppa Italia, Milan ended 2024 with just 27 points after 17 matches, outside the European qualification zone.
New manager Sérgio Conceição made an immediate impact, winning the Supercoppa by defeating both Juventus and Inter. However, Serie A results have been mixed, with a draw against Cagliari followed by a victory over Como.
For Juventus, inconsistency remains an issue. Apart from a poor showing in the Middle East, most of their Serie A matches have ended in draws. As a result, despite avoiding defeats, they are still outside the European spots. The derby against Torino and a crucial match against Atalanta both ended with familiar 1-1 scorelines.
Currently, Juventus scores twice as many goals as they concede (1.67/0.83). Milan averages 1.5 goals per match but concedes one goal per game, reflecting Mike Maignan’s challenges.
