Our prediction for this Serie A match:
All eyes will be on Allianz Stadium when Juventus and Milan face each other in the Serie A derby on Saturday. The Bianconeri head into “The Italian Classic” following a 1-1 draw with Atalanta, but they should look much sharper up front with fit-again Serbia striker Dusan Vlahovic in the starting XI. Both Gieison Bremer and Arkadiusz Milik continue to miss out with injuries for the home team.
The Rossoneri, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Como. Sergio Conceicao’s men have been showing signs of improvement of late and given Juve’s four-game winless run in all competitions, we predict that the visitors are going to grab something from “The Derby of the Titans”. As Alvaro Morata is banned for the match, Tammy Abraham is widely expected to lead the line for the visiting side. Midfielder Yunus Musah is pushing for a start as well.
Highlighted Player (Weston McKennie):
After starting his youth career at FC Dallas, Weston McKennie moved to Germany in the summer of 2016, signing a contract with Bundesliga side Schalke 04. The American footballer made his Bundesliga debut on May 20, 2017, coming as a substitute in the 77th minute of the match.
The talented midfielder scored his first goal in the German elite division on August 6, 2018 in a 2-0 win at Fortuna Dusseldorf. Speaking of his international career, the Schalke footballer made his debut with United States of America on November 14, 2017 in a friendly against Portugal, finding the net on his debut.
Weston McKennie has two caps for the USA U20 team as well. His main position is central midfield, but he used as both defensive and attacking midfielder as well. The USA international was born in Fort Lewis, Washington on August 28, 1998. His preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Milan):
AC Milan are regarded as one of the biggest club in Italy. The Rossoneri compete in the Italian Serie A and they have won 18 domestic trophies. Speaking of the club’s European success, Milan have clinched seven Champions League (European Cup) trophies.
Milan were on the verge of beating Liverpool in the 2005 Champions League final, but the Premier League outfit came from three goals behind and eventually won the prestigious trophy on penalties. The Rossoneri play their home games at Stadio San Siro (80,018), the stadium that was opened in 1926. It is well known that Milan’s bitterest rivals are Inter and there have always been fireworks when the two local rivals face each other in the Derby della Madonnina.
Milan were founded in 1899 by a lace-maker from England named Herbert Kilpin and a businessman Alfred Edwards. Milan’s home kits are red and black and that is why the team’s nickname is Rossoneri (The Red and Blacks).
The likes of Alessandro Costacurta, Paolo Maldini, Franco Baresi, Roberto Donadoni, Dejan Savicevic, Frank Rijkaard, Marco van Basten, Ruud Gullit and Andrea Pirlo are the most famous footballers who have represented the San Siro outfit.
