JUVENTUS v AC MILAN: MATCH PREVIEW

AC Milan are getting ready to face Juventus at the Allianz Stadium in Turin on matchday 6 of the 2025/26 Serie A season. Massimiliano Allegri's Rossoneri are set to take on Tudor's side in what promises to be an exciting clash. Both teams are in good shape, with AC Milan looking to extend their winning run and Juve determined to make home advantage count and maintain their unbeaten league record. As kick-off draws closer, here's our Match Preview.

LATEST FROM MILANELLO AC Milan head into this clash in fine form following a string of excellent wins. Last time out in Serie A, the Rossoneri edged past reigning champions Napoli with a hard-fought 2-1 victory: Allegri's men were sharp and clinical in the first half, before showing real discipline after being reduced to ten men. They also impressed in their most recent away match, a 3-0 win at Udinese, proving they can also deliver on the road. Both Allegri (in the dugout) and Rabiot (on the pitch) will be coming up against their former side. Ardon Jashari is unavailable, while Estupiñan is suspended. There are no players one booking away from a ban. Allegri's side appear to have struck a solid balance between attack and defence, and they head to Turin determined to keep the momentum going.

"Juventus v AC Milan is always a wonderful match. For us, it's important to take another step forward against a strong side, one that hasn't lost yet and will fight until the end for a top-four spot," said Massimiliano Allegri ahead of the game. "After eight years at Juventus, I have feelings that stay with me, but it's not about revenge. We'll need to produce a tactically intense performance. Juventus press high and play with real intensity, and they've always scored in these kinds of games. We'll have to be spot-on technically."

LATEST FROM JUVENTUS Juventus head into this game on a ten-match unbeaten run in Serie A, the only team in the division yet to lose this season. Their most recent outing saw them draw 1-1 with Atalanta. In Europe, it's been a similar story, though with slightly disappointing results: Tudor's men have taken just two points from their opening two Champions League fixtures following a 4-4 thriller against Borussia Dortmund and a 2-2 draw with Villarreal. At the back, Bremer remains a doubt, while long-term absentees Cabal, Milik and Miretti are still sidelined. Even so, the Bianconeri boss can call on a strong and settled squad. Juve will be aiming to make home advantage count against AC Milan as they look to keep their unbeaten record intact and stay among the frontrunners in the table.

"AC Milan are a top-class side with strong players in excellent form," said Igor Tudor. "We're at home and our aim is to put in a good performance. They might have the advantage of not having played midweek, and we're fully aware of their quality, but we know our own strengths and abilities. We'll give everything to deliver a strong performance."
