Juventus vs AC Milan: Two Unbeaten Sides Clash in Serie A Round Three

Match context

Round three of Italy's Serie A brings together two clubs that have opened the season with back-to-back wins — Juventus and AC Milan. The match takes place on Sunday, September 6, at Juventus' home ground, the Allianz Stadium in Turin. Fubo lists a kickoff time of 4:30 p.m. ET, while Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport reports the game is being shown exclusively on Dazn in Italy, with a local kickoff around 20:45.

Juventus have yet to concede a goal this season, one of only two clubs in the league with a clean record defensively. They opened with a 1-0 win over Frosinone (goal by Gleison Bremer) followed by a 2-0 win over Parma (goals from Nicolas Gonzalez and Teun Koopmeiners). Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has made five saves through the first two matches.

AC Milan, now led by new manager Ruben Amorim, have scored four goals and conceded just one across their opening two matches, including one clean sheet. They beat Torino 2-1 (goals from Alphadjo Cisse and Adrien Rabiot) and Venezia 2-0 (goals from Goncalo Ramos and Redouane Halhal). According to Fubo, Milan currently lead the division in sprints and rank among the top sides for big chances created and accurate long balls.

Stats and history

As reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, this will be the 183rd Serie A meeting between the two clubs, with Juventus holding a slight edge historically — 69 wins to Milan's 53, alongside 60 draws. Four of the last five meetings between the sides ended 0-0, including both matches last season; the two clubs have not drawn more consecutive league games since 1973. Milan have not scored against Juventus in six straight meetings — their last goal in the fixture came from Olivier Giroud in May 2023.

Gazzetta dello Sport also notes that referee Maurizio Mariani will take charge of the match, with Michael Fabbri as VAR.

Per Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus (4-2-3-1) start with Vicario in goal, a back four of Kalulu, Bremer, Lucumí and Celik, Locatelli and Douglas Luiz in midfield, and Conceição, Nico Gonzalez, Alajbegovic and Kolo Muani in attack, under coach Luciano Spalletti.
