Juventus vs AC Milan
Juventus were immediately welcomed by two major parties in the first week of March, beginning with a clash against Inter Milan. They met in giornata 26 Serie A which was broadcast live from the Allianz Stadium. Old Lady has a mission to maintain a position at the top of the standings.
Juventus are still playing until Thursday (27/2) to fight Lyon in the last 16 of UCL. However, they had to give up through Lucas Tousrat’s sole goal (31 ‘) so they had to win at least 2-0 on aggregate to qualify for the second leg.
Apart from that disaster, they still controlled the top of the Serie A standings by a point difference from Atalanta. In particular, they also have a mission to maintain the unbeaten trend as a host with 11 wins and 1 draw. This amount is pocketed after this month taming Fiorentina (3-0) and Brescia (2-0).
Turning to the enemy, Inter Milan also face a busy schedule because they have to play until Friday (28/2). This time they acted as host to host Ludogorets Razgrad in the last 32 UEL and managed to win with a score of 2-1 to complete the aggregate to 4-1.
In Serie A, they are still in line at number 3 with a difference of five points from Atalanta so they will try to make a surprise at Allianz. This season’s capital is quite convincing because they are the best away team with 9 wins, 2 draws and only one defeat.
Robeto Gagliardini and Stefano Sensi are certain to be lost to follow-up due to injuries, while Juventus will not be strengthened by Sami Khedira, Merih Demiral, Douglas Costa and Gonzalo Higuain for the same reason. They tried to prevent this problem from having a significant impact after last October succeeding in stealing a score of 1-2 from Giuseppe Meazza, while five appearances at Allianz claimed four wins, not even conceding. So, they still have a very strong dominance when playing host. (hyt)
