ACM vs JUV Betting Tips

Both teams slipped up at the weekend, with Juventus surrendering top spot as a result of the two results.

The pressure is now on Maurizo Sarri, but the Juve manager knows his team have an excellent record in this fixture – having secured their ninth consecutive win against Milan last time out.

Juventus also have Cristiano Ronaldo in fine goalscoring form – despite defeat to Verona at the weekend, he scored his 11th goal of the calendar year in just his seventh game.

Douglas Costa’s injury blunts their attack slightly, but Ronaldo will relish getting at the Milan defence that conceded four second-half goals to blow a 2-0 lead in the Milan Derby at the weekend.

Ronaldo is undoubtedly the key man in attack for Juventus, but they will also need Leo Bonucci in top form in defence as Zlatan Ibrahimovic looks to make his mark for Milan.

The 38-year-old has scored three goals since his return, including netting in the last round of the Coppa Italia and also scoring the second goal against Inter.

His fairytale return will include hopes of another trophy, and this competition looks their best bet in that regard.

But it remains to be seen if he will start two matches in a week, or be used for impact off the bench.

And, either way, Juventus remain the favourites for this game – their league form may have dipped, but they have a hold over Milan at the moment that they will be very keen not to surrender.

You can also get 49/50 from 888sport on there being more than 2.5 goals in this semi-final first leg.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s stunning goalscoring form makes him worth backing to score at any time, meanwhile – he has 11 in his last seven games.

Correct Score Prediction: AC Milan 1-2 Juventus

AC Milan Team News

Andrea Conti misses out through suspension, while Rade Krunic and Leo Duarte are both out injured for Milan. Davide Calabria could return at right-back in place of Conti.

AC Milan Key Players

Zlatan Ibrahimovic – Scored the third goal of his return to the club in the Milan Derby and, after netting against Torino in the last round, the Swedish veteran wants to make his mark in this match too.
Ante Rebic – His goal against Inter last time out was his fourth in five games. The Croatian has established himself in the starting XI as a result.
Hakan Calhanoglu: Scored twice in the win against Torino in the last round and then followed that up by netting against Hellas Verona in the league too.

AC Milan Team Form

Victory against Torino in the last round, as Hakhan Calhanoglu forced extra time with a last-minute equaliser before he and Zlatan Ibrahamovic scored in the extra period to earn a 4-2 win, was Milan’s fifth victory in a row. Calhanoglu scored again the following weekend but Milan could only draw 1-1 with ten-man Hellas Verona and they blew a 2-0 goal lead – given to them by Ante Rebic and Ibrahimovic – when they lost 4-2 to Inter in the Milan Derby last time out.

AC Milan Predicted Starting Line up

Expected Line up: 4-4-2

Juventus Team News

Under-pressure Maurizo Sarri will be without Douglas Costa, Danilo, Merih Demiral and Sami Khedira due to injury. Costa was replaced by Aaron Ramsey last time out, but Paulo Dybala could be another option to step into the starting XI in his place. Gianluigi Buffon could return in goal.

Juventus Key Players

Cristiano Ronaldo – His goal against Verona last weekend was his 11th of 2020, in seven matches since the turn of the year.
Leo Bonucci – Dangerous in the opposition penalty area from set pieces, but most importantly can keep Zlatan Ibrahimovic under wraps in this game.
Paulo Dybala – If he does come into the team, the forward needs to prove his worth having found himself on the bench behind Sarri favourite Higuain this season.

Juventus Team Form

Juventus’s defeat to Hellas Verona, despite Cristiano Ronaldo having given them the lead, was their second 2-1 defeat in three games. Ronaldo also scored against Napoli in a match which ended the same way, but in between he hit two penalties and Matthijs de Ligt added a third goal late on in a 3-0 defeat of Fiorentina.

Juventus Predicted Starting Line up

Expected Line up: 4-3-3

Juventus' defeat to Hellas Verona last weekend saw them drop from top spot in Serie A and the pressure has increased on Maurizio Sarri as a result. Their drop to second was also as a result of AC Milan failing to hold a 2-0 lead against new table-toppers Inter in the Milan Derby. Both teams need to bounce back as a result, but Juventus' record in this fixture suggests they can carry a lead into the home leg.
Juventus have won their last nine consecutive matches against Milan.
