Predictions, Team News and Lineups

Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – Two giants of the Italian Serie A League will meet on Sunday (24/11/2024) at 00.00 WIB, namely AC Milan vs Juventus at the San Siro, Milan.

Milan are six points behind Juve after a thrilling six-goal (3-3) against Cagliari before the international break, while the Bianconeri’s latest win was against Torino with a score of 2-0 in the Turin derby. Juventus is in sixth place with 24 points, while AC Milan is below it with 18 points.

Milan’s 18 points are only enough to occupy seventh place in the Italian Serie A standings, leaving them eight points behind Napoli at the top of the Italian Serie A. However, the Rossoneri have one game left.

Milan have conceded just two goals in their last seven league games against Juve, but keeping the defense tight on this occasion may be a tough ask for Serie A’s eighth-best defence.

Just before the break, Juventus continued their long dominance over city rivals Torino, extending their Derby della Mole record to 19 games without defeat.

Goals from Timothy Weah and Kenan Yildiz sealed the Turin derby win for the Bianconeri, keeping them within two points of top spot after a dozen games.

Despite all the shortcomings and injury problems, Juve have started the Serie A season unbeaten, both drawing and winning six games, and they are in the midst of a potentially exciting title race. The top six teams are currently separated by two points.

Returning to the San Siro this week, Juventus will try hard to win. With a win, of course it will not only increase their own Scudetto hopes, but also deal a major blow to Milan.

Milan have several options to choose from up front, as former Juventus striker Alvaro Morata recently returned to action by representing Spain in the UEFA Nations League. His 16-year-old deputy, Francesco Camarda, who started against Cagliari, scored twice for Italy Under-19s.

Tammy Abraham is also ready to play as a starter. Luka Jovic is still battling a groin problem and joins Alessandro Florenzi and Ismael Bennacer on the treatment table at Milanello.

After being benched earlier this month, Rafael Leao has returned to his best, and the Portuguese ace has completed the most dribbles in Serie A throughout 2024. He is also just one goal away from reaching double figures for the third calendar year in a row.

Meanwhile, Juve will lose their focal point up front, as top scorer Dusan Vlahovic is suffering from a thigh injury. Reserve striker Arkadiusz Milik will not return until next year.

Therefore, Timothy Weah, who is the son of Milan legend George Weah, or Kenan Yildiz can fill the false nine position, with support from Francisco Conceicao and Teun Koopmeiners.

If Yildiz scores against Milan, he will reach six Serie A goals for Juventus at the age of 19 years and 203 days, surpassing Alessandro Del Piero and becoming the seventh youngest player to do so.

After being brought back into the Italy squad, Manuel Locatelli should start in midfield. Douglas Luiz may be absent again.

The latter could be forced to join Vlahovic, Milik, Juan Cabal, Nico Gonzalez and compatriot Bremer on the sidelines.

The AC Milan vs Juventus match in week 13 is predicted to end in a draw.
