Former AC Milan player Serginho has weighed in on the upcoming match between Juventus and his former club, asserting that there are no clear favourites for the fixture. Both teams are deeply entrenched in the Serie A title race, and neither can afford to drop points if they want to remain in contention for the championship. This crucial clash comes at a time when both Juventus and Milan are trying to shake off inconsistencies in their performances, with each club aiming to turn the page on a somewhat rocky start to the season.

It has been a challenging campaign for both sides, and the pressure is mounting for them to put together a more stable run of results. Juventus fans are optimistic about the potential for Thiago Motta to lead the team to a Serie A title in his first season at the helm. With strong backing from the supporters, the Bianconeri are working hard to make that dream a reality. Milan, on the other hand, has a new coach in charge, following the departure of Stefano Pioli, and the expectations are high for the team to improve under this fresh leadership, with hopes of competing for the Scudetto.

Ahead of this weekend’s encounter, Serginho acknowledged the unpredictable nature of the game and highlighted the struggles both teams have faced. Speaking to Il Bianconero, he said: “A difficult match to read because it comes at a less than ideal time: the two teams have had ups and downs and expected something more from this start of the season. They have had, let’s say, a bit of instability in terms of play and results. A big match like this doesn’t have a favourite.”

As Serginho noted, the match is difficult to predict, but both Juventus and Milan will be hungry for a victory to stabilise their seasons and push toward the top of the league. For Juventus, this game is an opportunity to demonstrate their resilience and strength, something that will be crucial in their pursuit of silverware this season. To win trophies, the Bianconeri must show they are tougher and more consistent than their rivals in Serie A. The stakes are high, and this match could be a defining moment for both teams as they aim to set the tone for the remainder of the campaign.
