In what has become a battle for the Serie A top four, these Juventus vs. Milan see seventh take on fourth. Five points separate the two teams with two games left to play, meaning it is all or nothing for the Bianconeri on Sunday.
Juventus vs. Milan odds
1 – A draw at full-time – 5/2
2 – Under 2.5 goals scored – 13/16
3 – Both teams to score – 17/20
4 – Milan to win – 21/10
5 – Rafael Leao to score – 3/1
Juventus look to bounce back from one of their worst weeks in recent history on Sunday, as they welcome Milan to the Allianz Stadium. A 10-point penalty took the Bianconeri out of the Serie A top six on the same day that they were hammered by lowly Empoli.
All is not lost for Massimiliano Allegri’s side however, as they are presented with an opportunity to make up ground on one of their top-four rivals in Milan this weekend. With just seven points separating third place and Juventus in seventh, the possibility remains for the Old Lady to redeem themselves.
Unfortunately for the hosts, they come up against a Rossoneri side that received a much-needed confidence boost against Sampdoria last weekend. Stefano Pioli’s side put five goals past the recently relegated side. But the coach will be very aware that an attacking display may not be what is needed this Sunday.
For Milan, one point would keep them ahead of Atalanta and protect their all-important Champions League spot. As a result, the visitors may look to set up defensively and look to play out for a draw.
The Rossoneri have not been one of the best teams in the league defensively this year. But given the importance of Sunday’s game, they may well succeed in keeping the scoreline down. Past fixtures have tended to be low-scoring and we predict a fourth consecutive match in which under 2.5 goals are scored.
In fact, Milan have prevented Juventus from scoring at all in their last two encounters. But that may be rather unlikely this time around, given the importance of a win to the hosts. Instead, a wager on both teams to score may well pay off.
Juventus’ desperation to secure a win could play into their visitors’ hands, as they have been at their best when playing on the counter attack this season. By leaving just Rafael Leao and Giroud up front, Milan have been able to remain defensively compact while offering a threat in behind.
As the hosts look to push on, it may be worth a bet on Leao to score on the counter, securing a win against the odds for the Rossoneri.
