A high-profile 2015-2016 Serie A season matchup between defending champions Juventus FC (5-4-3, 18 points) and AC Milan (6-4-2, 20 points) is set at the Juventus Stadium in Turin on Saturday, November 21st.
Juve is slowly rising from their disappointing start to the season with four wins in their last six games while drawing one and losing one as well. They are now at the seventh spot in the league table, nine points behind current league leader Fiorentina.
Le Zebre romped Empoli in their last game, 3-1, at the Stadio Carlo Castellani on November 8th to complete a two-game winning run, as per Goal.
Forward Mario Mandzukic, defender Patrice Evra, and striker Paulo Dybala contributed one goal apiece for Massimiliano Allegri's team at the 32nd, 38th, and 84th minutes respectively on the way to the lopsided win.
Meanwhile, Milan is also on the rise as they had been unbeaten in their last five matches. They are now at the sixth spot in the league table, just two points above Juve.
Their last game was a scoreless draw with Atalanta, albeit a disappointing one as Siniša Mihajlović's squad has actually dominated ball possession, but they were not able to get even a single goal in the whole 90 minutes, via Four Four Two.
The tie snapped I Rossoneri's three-game winning streak, but they still had a point to go slightly up in the overall standings.
The prediction is a close 1-0 victory for AC Milan. It would be a tough and highly-entertaining matchup, but forwards Carlos Bacca and Alessio Cerci will press the action for the Red and Blacks while their defense holds through.
Juventus starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Barzagli, Bonucci, Evra; Khedira, Marchisio, Pogba; Cuadrado, Mandzukic, Morata
AC Milan starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Donnarumma; De Sciglio, Mexes, Romagnoli, Antonelli; Kucka, Montolivo, Poli; Cerci, Bacca, Niang
