- AC Milan have 12 points from five games in Serie A 2025/2026, winning both of their away games without conceding
- Juventus are fourth on 11 points after five games, unbeaten at home with two wins and a draw
- AC Milan have won their last five in all competitions, scoring 11 goals and conceding just once
Milan have perfect defensive record on the road
Milan are flying high in Serie A 2025/2026, while Juventus are in a rut and these two giants of Italian soccer could be evenly matched in what should be a tactical chess match on Sunday. This Juventus FC vs AC Milan prediction highlights just how evenly balanced the teams are ahead of the encounter.
Massimiliano Allegri returned to Milan in July and has had an immediate impact on a team that have been solid at the back and dangerous on the break in the opening games of the season. They have won five straight games, a run in which they have scored 11 goals and conceded just once.
A 12-point haul from 5 games means they are the top of the table, although Allegri has had time to instil some of his defensive principles into the team. The Juventus FC vs AC Milan preview must mention that Milan have not conceded a goal in either of their two away matches this season and have a perfect away record, so they must be respected when they travel to Juventus on Sunday.
Juve can be a mixed bag at the moment
Igor Tudor has made them more dynamic since taking the helm at Juventus in March 2025 and they are playing at a high tempo with lots of pressing and vertical play. However, they can be a little all over the place at times and have drawn their last five in all competitions, including their last three at home.
Juve have won one and drawn one of their previous two encounters with Milan, but the Rossoneri are on a roll and are priced at 2.8. When considering the Juventus FC vs AC Milan prediction, Allegri’s tactical versatility is a real bonus for Milan, who are able to morph between compact and more attacking shapes when they have the ball, and they have been very good at managing the game shape when they are in front.
Juve play with numbers in attack, with Tudor’s 3-4-2-1 formation able to switch to 3-4-3 to overrun opponents on the flanks, and Kenan Yildiz has been the creative spark in the middle, providing three assists in Serie A this term. However, Dusan Vlahovic is the focal point up top and has two goals in the league this year.
Pulisic in a purple patch
Christian Pulisic has five goals in his last 11 appearances for AC Milan in all competitions and four in his five Serie A appearances this campaign. Allegri has really found the trigger for him and he could be the difference between the two sides here.
However, both teams are clearly strong defensively with Milan yet to concede on the road and Juve shipping four in their three home Serie A matches to date - an average of 1.33. In terms of Juventus FC vs AC Milan betting tips, under 2.5 goals, which is 1.75, could be the smart choice for this clash as the visitors look to stifle the home side while the hosts will feel they can outlast the Milan team if they get a lead.
Juve are available at 2.5 here, which is pretty short considering Milan have failed to win in their last two trips to Juventus, but there could be little to separate these sides in a tight, cagey game. Our Juventus FC vs AC Milan prediction is to take the draw at 3.3 in a game that Milan may edge if Pulisic has the edge over Vlahovic in a battle of the number nines.
