One of the great Italian derbies between Juventus and AC Milan will be watched once again, but this time in the Saudi capital Riyadh. These two giants will face each other in a game from the 1/2-finals of the Italian Super Cup. Let’s preview it in these Over/under soccer predictions for major leagues.
With nine trophies won, Juventus are the top team in this competition. The Bianconeri are struggling in the Serie A, but the competition in Riyadh could revive them and bring them some confidence. Juve are still undefeated in the league, but they are doing too many draws which keeps them from the top.
Just a few days ago Juventus made another draw in the Serie A – 2-2 against Fiorentina. Khephren Thuram saved the Bianconeri with a brace, but the fans were not happy again with the result.
It’s not impossible to see Thiago Motta making some changes against Milan. Players like Kenan Yildiz or Andrea Cambiaso could return in the starting eleven.
AC Milan will face Juventus with a brand new manager on board. After the sacking of Paulo Fonseca, the Rossoneri chose his compatriot Sergio Conceicao as the new head coach. The former Portuguese international will make his debut in the Super Cup. It’s an interesting fact that Conceicao’s son plays for Juventus at the moment.
What will Conceicao decide about line-up and formation against Juventus? It’s difficult to say as it his first game at the club. But one thing is for sure – he has to bring some confidence to the players after difficult first half of the season.
We suspect that Alvaro Morata will lead the attack of Milan with Tijani Reijnders playing behind him. These two players will be the main threat for Juventus’ team.
That’s the Over/under soccer predictions for major leagues for the Italian Super Cup clash between Juventus and AC Milan. Good luck!
