It’s a clash of the titans in Serie A on October 5th as Juventus host AC Milan and you can find a full preview, prediction, possible lineups and betting tips below.

Juventus vs AC Milan Preview

Igor Tudor’s first season as the full-time manager at Juventus started off with a bang, as the Bianconeri won their opening three Serie A matches – beating Parma, Genoa and Inter Milan.

However, although the Turin-based side are yet to taste defeat in all competitions so far, results have been far from impressive as Juventus have drawn their last four matches.

Most recently, the Serie A side suffered a last-minute blow against Villarreal in the Champions League group stages, as the match ended in a 2-2 stalemate after Juve came from behind.

Tudor was also hit with a fresh injury concern, as Juan Cabal was forced off with a knock and will not be available for the upcoming clash against AC Milan.

Gleison Bremer and Khephren Thuram were both unavailable for the trip to Spain, but reports have revealed that the duo could be fit to start on October 5th.

As for AC Milan, the opening stages of this season could not have gone much better, as the Rossoneri sit top of Serie A and have won five matches on the bounce across all competitions.

Fans were skeptical after Allegri’s men were beaten 2-1 by Cremonese at San Siro, however, the Rossoneri have turned things around superbly and secured a 2-1 win over Napoli in their latest outing.

Napoli’s strike was the first goal Milan had conceded since the opening day of the season and only Roma boast a better defensive record than the Rossoneri this season.

Allergi will not be able to call upon Ardon Jashari as he continues to recover from injury and Fikayo Tomori returned to training on October 3rd, giving him an outside chance of featuring following his injury against Napoli.

Juventus vs AC Milan Prediction

This Serie A encounter is a difficult one to call as both sides are pushing for the Scudetto and have made strong starts to the 2025/26 Serie A season so far.

Last season, Juventus picked up a 2-0 win over Milan in this fixture, thanks to goals from Samuel Mbangula and Timothy Weah – however both of these players are no longer in Turin.

Juventus have drawn their last four matches across all competitions and Milan have found their feet under Massimiliano Allegri, so we expect the points to be shared on October 5th.

Prediction: Juventus 1-1 AC Milan

Juventus vs AC Milan Betting Tips

Adrien Rabiot To Be Booked: +280

The French midfielder will be eagerly anticipating the trip to Turin, as Rabiot returns to the club where he made 212 appearances and won the Serie A title.

Rabiot’s relationship with the Bianconeri is said to be one of admiration, however, the French international was frustrated after the club decided against a renewed deal in the 2024 summer window.

The former PSG midfielder returned to Italy during the summer, signing for AC Milan and reuniting with Massimilano Allegri who initially brought Rabiot to Serie A in 2019.

Since signing for the Rossoneri, Rabiot has made three league appearances and played a vital part in the clubs 2-1 win over Napoli, as Milan cemented their place as title contenders.

During Milan’s clash against Napoli, Rabiot received his first yellow card of the season and we expect the Frenchman to be cautioned once again on October 5th.
