Both AC Milan and Juventus are in transition, but their paths couldn’t feel more different.
Milan’s flashes of brilliance under Fonseca hint at a brighter future, though their inconsistency has fans craving stability.
Meanwhile, Juventus’ unbeaten run under Motta shows promise, but a spate of draws has raised questions about their winning ways. When the Rossoneri meet the Bianconeri, it’s more than just three points—it’s a battle of progress versus promise in the Serie A.
The footballing world knows Captain America as Christian Pulisic only. Maybe, just maybe, it might be his creativity and run behind defences that have been Milan’s saviour so far in the attack. In the 11 games so far, Pulisic has already contributed 11 G/A.
He has shown his silky smooth self this season, reflecting his days from his time back in Germany. So, it’s got to be prime Juve defence to stop him.
When injuries are the name of the game, you have got to develop a ‘next man up’ mentality. The Old Lady must do exactly that. In the absence of Dusan Vlahovic, the weight of the offence will fall on the shoulders of the 19-year-old Yildiz.
But fret not… whenever the team have asked him to step up he has brought the Turkish heat with three goals and two assists already this season.
Juventus are unbeaten but have six wins and six draws, leaving them in the 6th position. AC Milan have conceded 14 goals in 11 games, while Juventus have 14. Juventus have kept nine clean sheets so far in 12 games.
