Juventus vs AC Milan Football Match will be played on Sunday, October 06, 2013 at Juventus Stadium, Torino, Italy for a Italian Serie A Match.
Juventus are now unbeaten in nine competitive games so far this
season and have tasted defeat in only one of their last 19 Serie A
outings. They had a frustrating week so far battling back from a goal
down at home to Galatasaray – taking the lead with three minutes
remaining – only to then concede an equaliser just seconds later.
Juventus striker Carlos Tevez will be looking to snap a three-game goal
drought in this one while Vidal has been in decent goal-scoring form so
far this season, with five goals in his last nine games for club and
country. Both Licthsteiner and Vucinic are out of the big clash against
Milan due to injury. Isla or Padoin will replace the Swiss
international.Paul Pogba could be dropped to the bench.
- Juventus (3-5-2): Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Isla, Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, Asamoah; Tevez, Quagliarella.
AC Milan’s disappointing start to the Serie A season eased with a 1-0
win over Sampdoria last weekend which moved them into ninth. Massimo
Allegri’s side followed up the win with a hard fought 1-1 draw away at
Ajax in Amsterdam which sees them sit second in their Champions League
group with four points from two matches. Anyway, they have taken just
eight points from a possible 18 in the Italian Serie A, and they have
been leaking goals at the back – with 10 conceded in just six games.
Milan will most likely play a 4-3-2-1, using the sole striker in the
form of Matri supported by Robinho and possibly Riccardo Montolivo or
Urby Emanuelson partnering him whilst M’Baye Niang represents the only
other attacking option off the bench. Mario Balotelli will miss this
game through suspension. Birsa picked up an injury last week, leaving
Allegri with little in the way of attacking options, especially since El
Shaarawy is injured as well. Furthermore, Allegri will still be without
Kaká, De Sciglio, Birsa, Silvestre, Bonera and Pazzini for this match.
- AC Milan (4-3-1-2): Abbiati; Abate, Zapata, Mexes, Emanuelson; Poli, De Jong, Nocerino; Montolivo; Robinho, Matri.
