Juventus vs AC Milan: Supercopa Match Preview, Odds & Prediction

The Supercoppa Italiana semi-finals will take place next week, pitting AC Milan against Juventus. Thiago Motta's squad will face Paulo Fonseca's squad in Friday's encounter, which is set to begin at 7 pm UK time and take place at Riyadh's King Saud University Stadium. 

Previous Matches and Head-to-head

The Italian powerhouse Juventus has lofty goals for the current campaign. The Bianconeri's goals for the upcoming season under head coach Thiago Motta include winning Serie A and making a splash in the UEFA Champions League.

On the other hand, La Vecchia Signora is losing ground right now. With 32 points after 18 matches, Juventus sits in sixth place in Serie A, nine points behind leaders Atalanta. With 11 points after six games, the Turin team is two points behind Lille in eighth position in the UEFA Champions League League Stage table.

If Juventus wins the 2023–24 Coppa Italia, they will represent Italy in the 2024 Supercoppa Italiana, which will be held in Saudi Arabia. In Riyadh, they'll play their semi-final match against AC Milan, another team from Serie A. Juventus will enter the game on the heels of a 2-2 draw with Fiorentina at Juventus Stadium in Serie A, following a 2-1 victory away from home against Monza in the league. It came after a 4-0 thrashing of Cagliari in Turin during the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia.

As one of Italy's most prominent clubs, AC Milan has high expectations for the current campaign. The Rossoneri will be gunning for victory since Milan is a perennial Scudetto contender and UEFA Champions League participant.

Milan have failed. It is pretty unlikely that Paulo Fonseca's squad will win the Italian championship and even more unlikely that they will finish in the top four or five. Currently, the Rossoneri sit eight points below fourth-place Lazio and fourteen points behind leaders Atalanta in the Serie A league, having collected 27 points from seventeen matches.

After finishing in second place in Serie A last season, Milan will have a chance to compete in the 2024 Supercoppa Italiana. With a 1-1 draw with AS Roma at Rome's Stadio Olimpico in Serie A and a 1-0 road win over Hellas Verona under their belts, they'll face Juventus in Riyadh for the semi-finals.
