The penultimate round of the Serie A season presents an interesting battle between Juventus and AC Milan. The match takes place this coming Sunday at Allianz Stadium.
Juventus got hammered in their latest outing, and could still be rattled on Sunday. If so, AC Milan are in with a good chance of lashing yet another defeat for the hosts.
Juventus are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They scored a steady 11 goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of 1.1 per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents ten goals, or an average of one a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to four clean sheets in this run.
AC Milan head into this match on 1.7 goals per game in their last ten matches. They scored an acceptable total of 17, while also conceding nine goals. This amounts to 0.9 on average per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring four times.
The last time the pair played each other, AC Milan came out the other side as 2-0 winners and surely won't mind a repeat of that result.
