Juventus: On the other hand, Juventus have to deal with multiple injuries including the latest ACL injury of Juan Cabal who will miss the rest of the season, and striker Dusan Vlahovic who will be replaced for the AC Milan game by USMNT striker Timothy Weah, who will play as a central striker.

Prediction
The home side showed to be very strong against the big teams this season while they struggled more against smaller teams. For this, and also for the injuries that are affecting Motta's team, they are the favourites. Pick: AC Milan 2, Juventus 1.
