In the fierce Serie A match, AC Milan will meet the challenge of Juventus at home. Given that two key defenders of AC Milan are out of action due to suspension, they have to make sure that their defense is solid first. Juventus has a history of tight defense and has not conceded a goal in their last three matches, and with the infrequent meetings between the two teams, it seems that both sides are inclined to play solid defense. Therefore, it seems wise to go for a 2.5 goal underdog. (Now 639 live at 2.45am on Monday)
AC Milan have been playing well this season, winning all seven league matches except for the Milan derby where they lost to Inter Milan. Manager Pioli has obviously strengthened his team's defense, conceding only one goal in the last four league matches. However, in the last 1-0 win over Genoa, captain Mezzolan was sent off for receiving a red card at the last minute, and the team had to play Chiote as the goalkeeper. The absence of Mazlan will undoubtedly affect the team's defense, and it seems that the first task of this game is to stabilize the defense.
