AC Milan vs. Juventus: 4 Betting Predictions You Should Make

Since February started, the midweeks have been as busy as ever. With cup games and Champions League fixtures, among other competitions, this trend will continue throughout the month. It’s the ultimate month for football lovers and bettors alike.

This week, it’s going to be all cup games in major European leagues, including Italy, where the semi-final of the Coppa Italia will be played. Just a few days ago, the Milan derby served up one of the most amazing games in the league this season. And while the dust is still settling, the Coppa Italia is set to serve up some classic Italian clashes as teams compete for a chance to feature in the final.

One of the semi-final games to be played is the game between AC Milan and Juventus. The distance between both sides on the Serie A table won’t matter when they face off on Thursday. As cup games usually have their own kind of drama, expect the unexpected when both sides clash.

If you’re looking to make some extra cash from this game, here are five betting predictions you should make:

1. Juventus to Score First and Win

The Old Lady have won nine of the last 10 versions of this game. Just like the last weekend’s Milan derby, this game has been one-sided for the most part of the past decade. In the past 20 meetings between both sides since 2013, AC Milan have only won twice compared to Juventus’ 15 wins.

In the head-to-head record between both sides, Juventus have scored first in nine of the last 10 meetings.

2. Over 2,5 Goals

Since joining the competition in the fourth round, AC Milan have scored seven goals in the last two Coppa Italia games they’ve played, with both games featuring at least three goals. The same stat also applies to Juventus who scored three goals against AS Roma and four against Udinese.

3. Both Teams to Score

Juventus have failed keep a clean sheet in four of their last five games, in all competitions. For AC Milan, the trend is also the same in their last five games. Both sides have won three of their last five games. Juventus have scored 10 goals in their last five games. Milan have scored 11 in their last five. This game seemed destined to feature goals at both ends of the pitch.

4. No Extra Time

AC Milan required extra-time to win their quarter-final game against Torino. However, with their history against Juventus, chances of this game running to extra-time is very slim, with Juventus going into the game as favorites.
