AC Milan vs Juventus – Match preview and team news Date: Sunday, 26th April.
Kick-off: 7:45pm BST. Venue: San Siro, Milan. AC Milan team news AC Milan enters this high-stakes clash at San Siro with a remarkably clean bill of health, providing Massimiliano Allegri with plenty of tactical flexibility.
Former Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot is expected to feature against his old side after netting the decisive goal in Milan’s recent victory over Hellas Verona. The Rossoneri are likely to stick with their 3-5-2 formation, anchored by the defensive trio of Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia, and Strahinja Pavlovic. In midfield, the experience of Luka Modrić paired with the energy of Youssouf Fofana and Rabiot should offer a sturdy platform for the attack.
Out wide, Saelemaekers and the young Bartesaghi are expected to provide the width, while the creative burden falls on the star duo of Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao. With no major injuries or suspensions, Milan looks poised to exploit their home advantage. Juventus team news Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti is navigating a series of selection headaches due to a thinning squad.
The Bianconeri will definitely be without Arkadiusz Milik and Juan Cabal, both of whom are sidelined with muscle injuries. There is also significant concern over star striker Dusan Vlahovic; while he travelled with the squad, a nagging calf issue means he will likely start on the bench. On a more positive note, Kenan Yıldız has returned to full training and is set to start alongside Jonathan David in a 3-4-3 setup.
