Market: Juventus win and over 1.5 goals

Odds: 10/11 @ Bet 365

With a spot in the final of this year’s Coppa Italia up for grabs this week, Juventus will host AC Milan on Friday night in what could be a lively affair.

Starting with the hosts, making their return to action once again sat at the top of the Serie A standings, Juventus see themselves firing in three competitions. In their 26 top-flight matches this season, they have recorded 20 wins, three draws, and three defeats, scoring 50 and conceding 24 in return. Holding a one-point buffer at the top of the table, it should also be noted that the White and Blacks hold the best defensive record in the division. As for their previous results, Juventus have won three of their last four matches across all formats and have won each of their last seven consecutive matches on home soil. More impressive, Friday’s hosts have bagged over 1.5 goals in each of those seven home victories.

As for the visitors, continuing to show some worrying issues prior to the break, AC Milan find themselves in an uphill battle to secure a European return. In their 26 Serie A matches this season, they have recorded 10 wins, six draws, and 10 defeats, scoring 28 and conceding 34 in return. With a points tally of 36, Milan mark their return down in seventh and three points adrift of breaking into the top-six. As for their previous run of results, Friday’s guests have won just one of their last six matches across all competitions and it should also be noted that AC have failed to win any of their last six Coppa Italia away fixtures within 90 minutes. Given the gulf in class between the two sides, we’re backing a routine home victory on Friday night.
