On Saturday, two of Italy's biggest sides - AC Milan and Juventus - will clash at the Stadio San Siro. In past seasons, this could have been a Scudetto decider, but the Rossoneri have been quite poor as of late, whilst the Bianconeri are on the cusp of making it a fifth straight league title this May.
AC Milan
Although the Rossoneri are likely to improve on their disappointing 10th-placed finish last season, it will be a moot point as AC Milan will be missing out on Champions League football for the third straight campaign. And given that they have won just one out of their past five matches, they are in serious danger of falling out of contention for even a Europa League spot.
Siniša Mihajlović's side are in their first Coppa Italia final in 13 years, but they will be taking on Juventus - a team they have not beaten since November 25, 2012. Furthermore, the Bianconeri, who are the reigning champions, will be loath to give up the chance to win back-to-back domestic doubles, especially since their own European campaign ended rather prematurely at the hands of Bayern Munich.
In terms of Serie A, Milan will be coming into this game having lost their past six matches against Juventus, including the reverse fixture this past November. Currently in sixth place - and six points behind cross-town rivals Inter - Saturday's hosts could find themselves slipping further down the table with Sassuolo just one point behind them in seventh spot.
Mihajlović will have to make do without the services of young French striker M'Baye Niang, who is still recovering from the effects of a car accident he was involved in earlier this year. Another player who may not be available for this game will be Juraj Kucka, also due to injury, whilst midfielder Andrea Bertolacci will miss out due to suspension.
Juventus
Meanwhile, Juventus are inching ever closer to retaining their Scudetto title. La Vecchia Signora's turnaround this season has been nothing short of remarkable, especially considering their atrocious start to their title defense. However, Massimiliano Allegri's men will arrive in Milan having won all but one of their Serie A games since losing to 1-0 to Sassuolo on October 28th, and Bologna has been the only side to have successfully nicked a point off the reigning Serie A champions.
Last term saw Juventus make an impressive run to the Champions League finals in Allegri's debut year with the Turin giants. This year, unfortunately, their European ambitions ended rather prematurely in the round of 16 as they were beaten 6-4 on aggregate by Bayern Munich in an entertaining two-legged tie, and as such the Bianconeri now will have to focus all their attention on making sure that both the Scudetto and the Coppa Italia remain in Turin for another season.
Since arriving in Turin, Allegri - who was sacked by Milan in January 2014 - has yet to lose to his former side, and given that they will face the Rossneri in the Coppa Italia, he has the opportunity to make it three wins out of three against the struggling Diavolo. With Napoli slipping up against Udinese, Juventus now enjoy a much more comfortable six point lead over the Partenopei, and could make it nine - albeit temporarily - with a win at the San Siro this Saturday.
Juventus will arrive in Milan without several key players. Both Paulo Dybala and Giorgio Chiellini miss out due to injury, whilst Sami Khedira sits out due to a ban.
