The Serie A clash between Juventus and Milan takes place at 18:45 UTC on September 6 in Round 3. This heavyweight encounter has lost some of its appeal not only because of the absence of several star players and the two clubs' current standing, but also because it is expected to be a very low-scoring affair.

Juventus vs Milan Prediction

“Two friends falling together,” Juventus and Milan both dropped into the Europa League after disappointing finishes to last season, despite spending much of the second half of the campaign inside the Serie A Top 4. The declining appeal of the Juventus vs Milan rivalry in recent years is understandable given their underwhelming performances in both Serie A and European competitions. Milan have made a strong start under new head coach Ruben Amorim, collecting six points from their opening two matches. However, concerns remain. Big-money signing Goncalo Ramos opened his account against Venezia last weekend, but in reality, he has still wasted too many chances. Since the post-Filippo Inzaghi era, no player has successfully carried the No. 9 shirt for Milan. The curse of the No. 9 jersey remains a concern in Ramos' case. Milan have won both of their opening matches, but both victories came against weaker opponents. Coach Amorim certainly still has plenty of work to do with the Rossoneri's attack. There is also a notable historical statistic: excluding stoppage time, Milan are currently on an exact 600-minute run without scoring against Juventus in Serie A. The last time Milan found the net against Juve was in May 2023, when veteran striker Olivier Giroud scored. Like Milan, Juventus have also collected six points from two matches against weaker opponents. Facing a young and refreshed Milan side will be a major test for Luciano Spalletti's team. In reality, Juventus have rarely inspired genuine confidence among their supporters in recent years. It would therefore come as no surprise if the two sides produced a low-quality and uneventful encounter.

Juventus vs Milan Head-to-Head Record

In the last 12 competitive meetings between the two sides, both teams have recorded three wins, while six matches have ended in draws. Among those encounters, only the 2025 Italian Super Cup, which Milan won 2-1, saw both teams score. In the other 11 matches, at least one side has always kept a clean sheet.

Latest Team News

Midfielder McKennie has no clear return date, while striker Yildiz is expected to be unavailable until Serie A Round 14 due to injury. In addition to these two notable absentees, Juventus will also be without Thuram, Cambiaso, Ekhator and Zhegrova, all of whom are sidelined through injury. Milan have just one injury absentee, centre-back Matteo Gabbia. The 26-year-old defender is expected to return in Serie A Round 5.

In-Depth Statistical Analysis

• Milan to earn points: Juventus have disappointed in five of their last six Serie A matches. In their last four Serie A games, Milan have picked up three wins. Furthermore, in their last six home meetings with Milan in Turin, the Old Lady have managed just one victory.
• Under 2.5 goals: As many as 11 of Juventus' last 12 Serie A matches have finished with no more than two goals. In the last 10 Serie A meetings between the two sides, fans have witnessed just eight goals in total, an average of only 0.8 goals per match. None of those encounters produced three goals.
• Juventus strong on corners: Juventus have had more corners than their opponents in seven of their last eight Serie A matches. Across those eight games, the Old Lady won a total of 64 corners, averaging eight per match. Milan, meanwhile, have failed to deliver on the corner market in 16 of their last 19 Serie A matches. Based on what Manchester United showed last season, it can be argued that Ruben Amorim's Milan are unlikely to dominate the corner count either. Juventus have also won the corner battle in four of their last five Serie A meetings with Milan.
