Milan vs Juventus, probable lineups
With just two points behind the fifth place, AC Milan host Italian champions Juventus at San Siro tonight at 21:45 CET.
With Lazio and Roma, the Rossoneri got their first three points against the top six teams in Serie A standings. Now in AC Milan vs Juventus, Stefano Pioli’s side is facing its great seasonal challenge.
The Italian coach will make no changes in defence. Gigio Donnarumma will be between the posts with Simon Kjaer and Alessio Romagnoli at the center and Theo Hernandez with Andrea Conti on the sides.
Ismael Bennacer and Franck Kessie will be at the heart of the midfield. The presence of Hakan Calhanoglu has been confirmed. The Turkish midfielder seems to have recovered but whether he will start from the first minute or Lucas Paqueta it’s the big doubt. For the moment Hakan seems in advantage to play alongside Bonaventura and Saelemaekers.
The attack in Milan vs Juventus will be led by Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Swedish striker has fully recovered and will face his former team from the first minute with Ante Rebic waiting for his moment on the second half. Juventus on the other hand will be without Dybala and De Ligt, both suspended.
AC MILAN (4-2-3-1): Donnarumma; Conti, Kjaer, Romagnoli, Theo Hernandez; Bennacer, Kessie; Saelemaekers, Calhanoglu (Paqueta), Bonaventura; Ibrahimovic.
JUVENTUS (4-3-3): Szczesny; Cuadrado, Rugani, Bonucci, Danilo; Betancur, Pjanic, Rabiot; Bernardeschi, Higuain, Cristiano Ronaldo.
