AC Milan Team News: Rabiot and Modric To Anchor The Midfield
Massimiliano Allegri is expected to deploy a structured 3-5-2 formation to counter Juventus' possession-heavy style. Mike Maignan remains the undisputed number one, protected by a back three led by Fikayo Tomori.The midfield will be anchored by the veteran experience of Luka Modrić and Adrien Rabiot, who will be tasked with winning the duel against their former employers.
In attack, the electric Rafael Leão will partner with Christian Pulisic. Pulisic has been one of Milan’s most consistent performers this season, and his ability to exploit spaces between the lines will be key to breaking down a Juventus defence that has kept three consecutive clean sheets.

AC Milan vs Juventus Prediction: Who Will Win Today’s Serie A Clash At San Siro?
This is a clash between “Possession vs. Precision.” Juventus, under Spalletti, tends to dominate the ball and volume of shots, but Milan has become expert at limiting fatal errors under Allegri. With both teams boasting 14 clean sheets this season, a high-scoring affair is unlikely. The tactical battle in midfield-specifically Locatelli vs. Modric-will dictate the tempo. A draw seems the most logical outcome, keeping the race for third place wide open for the remaining four matches.
Match Prediction: AC Milan 1-1 Juventus.
