Why Bet on Juventus?

Alongside PSG, Juventus remains the only undefeated team in the top European domestic league this season. However, while the French team leads Ligue 1, the Italians sit fifth in Serie A.

Juventus has 34 points, but their main issue lies in their excessive number of draws 13 in total, the most in the league. They also have seven wins, placing them fifth in the standings, 13 points behind the leaders, Napoli.

Their 32 goals scored are decent but fall short of expectations. On the defensive end, they’ve been impressive, conceding just 17 goals only Napoli (12) has a better record. Offensively, Dusan Vlahovic leads the way with seven goals, though four have come from penalties. Youngster Kenan Yildiz, 19, has been a standout performer for the team.

The Vecchia Signora has drawn their last three matches against Fiorentina (2-2), Torino (1-1), and Atalanta (1-1) after taking the lead in each game. During this period, they also competed in the Italian Super Cup, losing in the semifinals to AC Milan (1-2).

Juventus’ last victory came on December 12 against Monza (2-1), which was their sole win in Serie A over the past eight matches. At home, they’ve managed three wins and seven draws.

For this weekend, coach Thiago Motta welcomes back Dusan Vlahovic, while Francisco Conceição remains doubtful, and Andrea Cambiaso missed training due to a cold. Injured players who will not feature include Bremer, Juan Cabal, Manuel Locatelli, and Arkadiusz Milik.

Why Bet on Milan?

AC Milan is enjoying their best form of the season. After defeating Como 2-1, they are now on a five-game unbeaten streak in Serie A, though three of those matches ended in draws.

However, the real joy comes from their success earlier this year, when they secured the Italian Super Cup. They defeated Juventus 2-1 in the semifinals and overcame their archrivals, Inter, 3-2 in the final.

There is no doubt that coach Sérgio Conceição has made an impactful entrance. The Portuguese manager replaced his compatriot Paulo Fonseca in 2025, and in his first two matches, he delivered a trophy.

Currently, Milan sits in sixth place with 31 points, though they have a game in hand compared to many of their rivals. A win would at least secure them a spot in the European competition zone.

Christian Pulisic’s form has been outstanding, showcasing his talent with five goals and four assists. Rafael Leão continues to be a key figure with his flair and decisiveness, while Tijjani Reijnders has impressed with his unexpected scoring contributions.

The injury list includes Samuel Chukwueze, Alessandro Florenzi, and Noah Okafor, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek is doubtful for the upcoming match.

Final Betting Analysis: Juventus vs. Milan

It will be a thrilling match between two historic Italian football teams that are far from the top spot but are still battling for European qualification. Juventus has become the “king of draws” and Milan has also had its share of stalemates recently, which leads us to believe that another draw is likely.

The odds at Gambyl Exchange favor Juventus, with a Moneyline of 2.26, while Milan is at 3.57, and a draw is set at 3.39.

The last time these two teams faced each other was on January 3 of this year, when Milan secured a 2-1 victory in the Super Cup. The two prior matches, both in 2024, ended in 0-0 draws. Four of the last seven Serie A meetings between these teams have ended in a tie.

That’s why we expect this game to end in a draw by 2-2

Look for a draw. If you bet $100 at 3.39, you will gain $239 for a total payout of $339.
