The big match in Italy’s Serie A this weekend will see AC Milan and Juventus collide at San Siro. However, which outcome could be a winning prediction?
Juventus remain the only unbeaten team in Serie A after 12 rounds of matches, winning six and playing out six draws.
The Old Lady come into this first match following the international break after winning their last two.
AC Milan have recorded two wins in their last four, but they are slightly off the pace being set by the top six in Italy’s top division. But, a win for the home side could see them end the day just five points off the summit.
Odds
AC Milan will be narrowly preferred on the moneyline this weekend at +120. A Juventus victory is priced up at +250, while the draw could be an interesting price at +239.
