Juventus

Nevertheless, the team extended their unbeaten run in the league to 28 matches (9 wins, 19 draws). Notably, Juventus has both scored and conceded in their last seven Serie A games. The Turin club is fifth in the standings with 34 points.

- Both teams scored in 5 of Juventus's last 7 home Serie A matches.
AC Milan
In the last round, Sergio Conceicao's side secured a 2-1 away victory against Como. AC Milan trailed during the second half but managed to claim all three points, extending their unbeaten run in the league to five matches (2 wins, 3 draws). Additionally, the club scored more than once for the first time in their last six Serie A encounters. Milan holds 31 points and sits seventh in the standings, five points behind the top four.
Defenders Malick Thiaw and Alessandro Florenzi, midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and forward Samuel Chukwueze will miss the game due to injuries. Forward Alvaro Morata is suspended.

Juventus vs. AC Milan: Match Prediction
At home, Juventus tends to score frequently, rarely finishing matches without finding the net. In 10 of their last 12 home league games, they have scored, and in seven instances, they have done so at least twice. However, Juventus's defense is not as reliable as it was earlier in the season, and they have been conceding regularly at home, with only two clean sheets in their last seven home league matches.
Since Sergio Conceicao's appointment as head coach, AC Milan has seen both teams score in all four of their matches (twice in the Italian Super Cup and twice in Serie A). Additionally, in 8 of their last 10 away league encounters, Milan has scored and conceded.
I expect a high-scoring game from both teams in this match, so my prediction: Both Teams to Score – Yes
