Juventus vs AC Milan: Defensive Strength Meets Early-Season Momentum in Turin. Read on for all our free predictions and betting tips.
Both Juventus and AC Milan have shown strong defensive performances, conceding very few shots on target in their opening Serie A matches. Historical 0-0 draws between these sides and Milan's scoring struggles in Turin suggest a low-scoring game, making Under 2.5 Goals a logical choice despite potential risks from early goals.
The 0-0 correct score is supported by Milan's six-match scoring drought against Juventus and both teams' strong defensive records, including two 0-0 draws last season. Juventus' attacking constraints and limited shots on target reinforce the likelihood of a goalless draw, though a single error could change this outcome.

- The teams drew 0-0 twice last season, while Milan have now gone six league meetings without scoring against Juventus.

The early evidence points towards two sides already difficult to break down. Juventus have won twice without conceding, while Milan have allowed only three shots on target across their opening games. Add two goalless meetings last season and Milan’s six-match league scoring drought against Juve, and the obvious question is whether either attack can disturb two defences giving very little away.
Juventus Have the Results, but Not Yet the Fluency
Luciano Spalletti’s Juventus have started with successive league wins for the third season running, again doing so without conceding. A 1-0 victory at newly promoted Frosinone was followed by a harder-than-the-scoreline 2-0 success against Parma.
The Parma game is particularly instructive. Juventus struggled to find a way through until substitute Nico Gonzalez broke the deadlock, with Teun Koopmeiners later adding the second. Both were ending long waits for Serie A goals dating back to spring 2025.
That suggests Juve’s strongest foundation remains their defensive control rather than overwhelming attacking production. Five shots on target conceded across 180 minutes is a healthy return, and keeping the game tight may be especially important with Kenan Yildiz and Khephren Thuram ruled out for the mid-term.
Yildiz’s absence leaves Gonzalez, Jeremie Boga and Kerim Alajbegovic among the options in the final third, while new loan striker Nick Woltemade competes with Randal Kolo Muani. Pape Matar Sarr has also arrived, although Douglas Luiz, Manuel Locatelli and the new signing are competing for midfield places. Andrea Cambiaso and Weston McKennie remain fitness doubts.
Milan’s Defence Looks More Convincing Than the Goal Against Torino
Milan’s record is not quite as clean, but the detail matters. Ruben Amorim began with a 2-1 win at Torino before a 2-0 home victory over Venezia, and the only goal conceded came in the 93rd minute from Torino’s sole shot on target.
Venezia then managed only two efforts on target. Across two matches, Milan have therefore been asked relatively few serious questions defensively.
That matters against a Juventus side which needed patience to break Parma down. Milan have also lost just once in their last six visits to Turin while recording four clean sheets, a dramatic change from the nine consecutive defeats that preceded that run.
Mattia Gabbia is their only stated injury concern. Fikayo Tomori has returned to the squad after failing to secure a move, while Amorim is expected to retain the same back three. Omari Hutchinson and Diego Moreira are waiting for possible first appearances following Rafael Leao’s departure.
Ramos Gives Milan a Different Route to Goal
Goncalo Ramos opened his Serie A account against Venezia after arriving as Milan’s club-record signing, and his presence is significant given the Rossoneri’s extraordinary recent scoring record against Juventus.
Milan have failed to score in six consecutive league meetings with Juve, including both 0-0 draws last season, while their most recent goal at Juventus Stadium came more than three years ago.
Adrien Rabiot, pencilled in for an advanced role behind Ramos, adds another layer to Milan’s attacking picture as he faces a club for whom he made 157 appearances. The task, though, is clear: Milan must convert their promising start into chances against a Juventus defence yet to concede.
Amorim also has a piece of history within reach. Victory would make him the first Milan coach since 1958 to win each of his first three Serie A matches.
Other Opportunities in This Market
- Under 1.5 Goals: Settles as a win if the match finishes with zero or one total goal (0-0, 1-0, or 0-1). It trades a narrower margin for winning scorelines in exchange for higher potential odds than Under 2.5 Goals.
- Both Teams To Score (NO): Settles as a win whenever at least one team fails to score, covering win outcomes like 1-0, 2-0, or 0-1 alongside a 0-0 draw. It eliminates total-goal limits but loses if both teams find the net.

🎯 Pick 1: Under 2.5 Goals @ 8/11
Both Juventus and AC Milan enter Sunday’s fixture with defensive structures that have surrendered very little direct goal threat across the opening two Serie A matchweeks. Luciano Spalletti’s Juventus side have recorded back-to-back clean sheets against Frosinone and Parma while facing a total of just five shots on target over 180 minutes of football. Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim’s AC Milan setup has been equally restricted at the back, allowing only three shots on target across their opening two fixtures against Torino and Venezia.
When these defensive returns interact, the evidence points towards a game where clear-cut opportunities remain scarce. Juventus required a substitute strike from Nico Gonzalez late on to break down Parma, illustrating an attack that still needs patience to generate high-quality openings, particularly with key figures Kenan Yildiz and Khephren Thuram sidelined. On the other hand, Milan have struggled historically to break down Juventus in Turin, failing to score in six consecutive league encounters between the two clubs. Across Milan’s last six visits to Juventus Stadium, four have ended with a clean sheet for the home side, reflecting a fixture where neither team easily forces open space.
The primary threat to a low-scoring game lies in the individual quality of new attacking additions such as Goncalo Ramos or Nico Gonzalez, both of whom scored in matchweek two. However, with two 0-0 draws between these teams last season and both backlines conceding so few shots on target, backing under three total goals reflects the defensive records established by both sides.
🎯 Tactical Indicators
- Juventus conceded only five shots on target in their first two Serie A matches.
- AC Milan faced just three shots on target across 180 minutes under Ruben Amorim.
- Last season's two Juventus vs AC Milan league fixtures ended 0-0.
Risk Factor: An early goal could open the game and lead to three or more goals, negating the low-scoring pattern.
Key Tactical Mismatch
Conceded only 5 shots on target in 2 matches with back-to-back clean sheets against Frosinone and Parma.
Failed to score in 6 consecutive league matches against Juventus, with no goal at Juventus Stadium in over 3 years.
⚔️ Pick 2: Juventus vs AC Milan 0-0 @ 17/2
Predicting an exact 0-0 scoreline requires solid justification for why neither attack will break through over 90 minutes. For AC Milan, the argument rests heavily on an extraordinary drought against Juventus, having failed to score in six consecutive league meetings with the Turin side. Their most recent league goal at Juventus Stadium occurred over three years ago, and although Goncalo Ramos opened his account against Venezia, Milan managed just three shots on target overall in their opening two matches. Juventus, meanwhile, face attacking constraints of their own with Kenan Yildiz and Khephren Thuram ruled out. Juve struggled for long periods to unlock Parma in their last home outing, relying on late goals from Nico Gonzalez and Teun Koopmeiners after patient build-up.
Historical precedent heavily mirrors this current defensive tightness, as both league fixtures between Juventus and AC Milan finished 0-0 last season. Milan have faced only three shots on target in 180 minutes under Ruben Amorim, while Juventus have allowed just five. In a match where both backlines are limiting opposition efforts so effectively, neither goalkeeper has been subjected to sustained pressure.
Naturally, any correct-score selection remains highly vulnerable to a single defensive error or set-piece strike. A goal for either side immediately defeats the selection, making 0-0 a precise market scenario rather than a certainty, yet the combination of early-season defensive statistics and head-to-head history leaves a goalless draw well grounded in the available data.
Risk Factor: A single defensive error or penalty would invalidate the 0-0 correct score selection.
