**If you are looking for some information about Sunday’s visitors to San Siro, Juventus, you are in the right place, with our AC Milan opposition insight.**
On Sunday night, Milan will face Juventus for the 230th time in their history and it could be a big game in the Champions League race. Whilst both look pretty safe, the results this weekend could alter the gap and what seemed simple could become a challenge.
Given how much pressure Massimiliano Allegri has put on Champions League qualification, there could be some late fears heading into the final weeks of the campaign with European football not secure. However, there can be no fear on Sunday. Instead, it must be a composed performance.

In our [**preview ahead of the game earlier this season**](https://sempremilan.com/serie-a-preview-juventus-vs-ac-milan-2025), we took a look at the business that Juventus conducted during the summer and there has been some changes since. The only addition to really make an impact so far has been Jonathan David.
Even then, though, the Canadian has had links away from the Allianz Stadium. So, he has hardly been a fantastic coup for the Old Lady. Additionally, they have no longer got Igor Tudor in charge, with Luciano Spalletti taking over.
Since the Italian’s arrival, the Old Lady have won 19 of their 33 games. So it is fair to say that he has turned around their season with a spot in the Champions League looking quite likely at this stage, one would imagine.
However, a loss at San Siro would throw them back into the mix, depending on how the rest of the chasers get on.
Since they last faced, only Napoli and Inter have picked up more points, so they are both deserving of spots in the Champions League. With both conceding 24 in 28, it is clear that they have had significant work done on their defensive structures, compared to last season.
In terms of the starting XI expected from Spalletti, the Italian is likely to name a more agressive team than his opposite. However, that is not too much of a surprise at all.
Di Gregorio keeps his spot in between the sticks, with Kalulu returning to San Siro as part of the back three, alongside Bremer and Kelly.
In midfield, Locatelli and Thuram will continue to be Spalletti’s base, with the pair impressing and dictating games regularly under the Italian, whilst McKennie will continue to play as a wing-back, opposite Cambiaso.
Leading the line, Kenan Yildiz [**returned to training late in the week**](https://sempremilan.com/milan-opportunity-watch-vlahovic-recovers) and is expected to start, whilst Francisco Conceicao will look to impress in the stadium where his father managed 12 months ago. David will start as the number nine.
**Predicted Juventus XI (3-4-3):** Di Gregorio; Bremer, Kalulu, Kelly; McKennie, Locatelli, K. Thuram, Cambiaso; Conceicao, David, Yildiz
**Predicted bench:** Pinsoglio, Scaglia, Holm, Gatti, Koopmeiners, Miretti, Adzic, Kostic, Zhegrova, Boga, Openda, Vlahovic
