Match Time & Date:

11:00 AM
Prediction: 1-1
Juventus
Sparkles will be flying when AC Milan and Juventus go head to head in the Serie A derby on Matchday 13. The Rossoneri dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Cagliari before the international break and they face yet another uphill task against “the Old Lady”. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Rafael Leao, who has been scoring goals for fun in all competitions of late, while the likes of Matteo Gabbia, Ismael Bennacer, and Alessandro Florenzi remain in the recovery room. The good news for the hosts is that Alvaro Morata has recovered from a head injury.
The Bianconeri, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Udinese and Torino. As Juve have been impressive at the back of late, we believe that punters from all around the world can find value in betting on under 2.5 goals. In their last meeting in Derby d’Italia del Nord the two Italian giants played out a goalless draw, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction. The likes of Bremer, Nico Gonzalez, Douglas Luiz, and Arkadiusz Milik miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Christian Pulisic):
Christian Pulisic is an American professional footballer who plays in the English Premier League with Chelsea. Born in Pennsylvania on the 18th of September, 1998, the talented midfielder joined Brackley Town's youth setup in 2005. He then went on to feature for Michigan Rush and PA classics before being recruited by Bundesliga outfit Borrusia Dortmund in February 2015.
Impressed with the rate of his progression at their academy, BVB integrated the teenager into their first team over the winter break. On the 30th of January, 2015, Pulisic made his professional debut at the age of 17, coming on as a substitute in Dortmund's 2-0 home win against Ingolstadt in the league. He then went on to score his first professional goal three months later in a 3-0 league win over Hamburger SV. Before joining English club Chelsea in 2018, Pulisic played a total of 4 seasons at Dortmund, three of which were as a full-time player and the last one on loan from the Blues.
The 21-year-old is now back at Chelsea for the 19/20 season and is currently on a contract that expires in 2024. Pulisic's club career honors include winning the 16/17 DFB Pokal with Dortmund. Additionally, Pulisic initially represented the USA at the under-15 and under-17 level before getting called up to the senior squad. He made his senior debut on the 29th of March,2016, as a substitute in USA's 4-0 thumping of Guatemala in the CONCACAF World cup qualifiers.
Highlighted Team (Juventus):
Juventus are considered one of the greatest European football clubs. The Bianconeri (The White and Blacks) have won two Champions League trophies (1985, 1996) and they did well to clinch three UEFA Cup titles (1977, 1990, 1993). The Italian giants have won 32 Serie A trophies and it is well known that a number of star players were part of Juve in the past.
The likes of Alessandro Del Piero, Zinedine Zidane, Michel Platini, Lilian Thuram, Filippo Inzaghi, Pavel Nedved and David Trezeguet all played for Juventus, whilst legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has yet to retire. Juve were stripped two domestic trophies during the “Calciopoli” scandal, but despite being relegated to Serie B, the club quickly brought glory days back to Turin. The Bianconeri used to play their home games at Stadio delle Alpi, but nowadays they welcome their rivals at Juventus Stadium.
The capacity of the stadium is 41,475. La Vechhia Signora (The Old Lady) is yet another nickname of the club. Juve’s biggest rivals are Torino and the two local rivals take on each other in the Turin derby.
