Preview: Milan look to pull off a big upset at the San Siro
AC Milan and Juventus are two of the most historic clubs in Italy. Apart from all of that history, both sides are currently heading in two very different directions.
Juventus are the reigning Serie A champions, and they look destined to win the title again. Antonio Conte’s side has an eight-point lead over AS Roma, but with 13 matches remaining, the visitors will not want to drop points at the San Siro.
Ricardo Montolivo believes that his side has what it takes to embarrass the league leaders, as they did in November of 2012.
“Last season’s fixture was a magical evening,” Motolivo told the club’s official site.
“We won the game and went on a run from then. Hopefully it will be a good night this time around – a win against one of the big sides would give us a big boost. It would give us renewed enthusiasm and self-esteem.”
Clarence Seedorf will be hopeful that Milan’s latest signings will help guide his side to another victory. The Rossoneri have not lost at home in their last six matches, and they will want to make it seven.
New signing Adel Taarabt could be the inspiration the Rossoneri need. The Moroccan playmaker has been in great form since his arrival, and he will want to build off his goal last week against Sampdoria.
Injuries continue to be a concern for Milan. Matias Silvestre, Stephan El Shaarawy, Mario Balotelli and Cristian Zapata will all be missing due to injury. Sulley Muntari will not be available as well due to a suspension.
Antonio Conte will also be unable to count on Arturo Vidal, who will be serving a suspension. As for injuries, Giorgio Chiellini, Simone Pepe and Mirko Vucinic will not be available.
The league leaders will try to build off their mid-week victory over Trabzonspor, which saw them through to the next round of the Europa League.
