Juventus and Milan will go head to head on Sunday in one of the biggest derbies in Italian football. Both giants have opened the season with a maximum six points, and the Bianconeri boast an impressive clean-sheet run against the Rossoneri.
Juventus return to the Allianz Stadium, where they host Milan on Sunday, 6 September at 20:45, in Serie A matchday 3.
The great Italian derby comes very early in the season, but it can already tell us a lot about the ambitions of both teams. Juventus and Milan both have a maximum six points after the opening two rounds.
šš»PREDICT THE EXACT SCORE OF THE MATCH:
JUVENTUS WANT THREE OUT OF THREE
The Bianconeri have opened the new season in the best possible way. First came a 1:0 win over Frosinone, followed by a 2:0 victory against Parma at the Allianz Stadium. Juventus have therefore collected all six points, scoring three goals and, crucially, conceding none. A win against Milan would see Juventus open the league campaign with three consecutive victories for the second season running.
MILAN ALSO ARRIVE WITH A MAXIMUM SIX POINTS
The Rossoneri have not put a foot wrong at the start of the campaign either. Milan first beat Torino 2:1 away, then saw off Venezia 2:0 at home. The Milanese side also have six points, with a goal difference of 4:1, so one of the two perfect starts will be put to a serious test in Turin. A win would give Milan three victories in the first three league rounds for only the fourth time in the last seven seasons.
RAMOS A RECORD SIGNING
Milan seriously rebuilt their squad over the summer, and the biggest signing is GonƧalo Ramos, who arrived from PSG in a record deal worth around 70ā75 million euros. The Portuguese has become the most expensive signing in the history of the Rossoneri.
Alongside him, Diego Moreira arrived from Strasbourg for 50 million, Mario Gila from Lazio for 30 million and Andrej KostiÄ from Partizan for 3.5 million euros.
Heading the other way were Rafael LeĆ£o (Galatasaray), Youssouf Fofana (Sevilla), Santiago GimĆ©nez (Porto), Samuele Ricci (Como) and Christopher Nkunku (RB Leipzig).
THE 183RD SERIE A MEETING BETWEEN JUVENTUS AND MILAN
The historical record favours the Old Lady:
Juventus ā 69 wins
Milan ā 53 wins
Draws ā 60 matches
INCREDIBLE RUN: MILAN HAVE FAILED TO SCORE AGAINST JUVENTUS IN SIX MATCHES!
Perhaps the most interesting stat ahead of Sunday's derby concerns the Juventus defence. The Bianconeri have kept a clean sheet in their last six league matches against Milan. Juventus have not had a longer run without conceding against a single opponent in Serie A since 2016, when they kept nine consecutive clean sheets against Palermo.
THE LAST FIVE SERIE A MEETINGS: ONLY TWO GOALS!
Looking at the last five league meetings between Juventus and Milan, tight matches and a remarkably low number of goals dominate:
26.04.2026 ā Milan 0:0 Juventus
05.10.2025 ā Juventus 0:0 Milan
18.01.2025 ā Juventus 2:0 Milan
23.11.2024 ā Milan 0:0 Juventus
27.04.2024 ā Juventus 0:0 Milan
NICO GONZALEZ A THREAT TO MILAN ONCE AGAIN?
One of the players to keep a particular eye on is Nico Gonzalez. The Argentine has an excellent record in home league matches against Milan: in four such games he has been directly involved in three goals, with one goal and two assists. Having found the net against Parma, he will have the chance against Milan to score in two consecutive league matches for the first time since June 2024, when he was playing for Fiorentina.
KALULU AGAINST HIS FORMER CLUB
Pierre Kalulu will also have a special match. The French defender made his Serie A debut in a Milan shirt. Between 2020 and 2024 he played 84 league matches for the Rossoneri, scoring three goals and providing three assists. Now he will once again line up on the opposite side against his former club.
EVERYTHING IS SET FOR THE BIG DERBY IN TURIN
Juventus and Milan are not just two contenders for the summit of Italian football. For decades, their meetings have produced matches that have gone down in Serie A history. Ahead of the new clash in Turin, it is worth recalling some of the nights Juventus fans remember with particular fondness.
1997: A HISTORIC 6:1 AT SAN SIRO
If there is one match that holds a special place in the history of this rivalry, it is 6 April 1997.
Marcello Lippi's Juventus arrived at San Siro and completely dismantled the reigning Italian champions: Milan 1:6 Juventus.
Vladimir JugoviÄ and Christian Vieri scored two goals apiece, while Zinedine Zidane and Nicola Amoruso also got on the scoresheet. Juventus went on to win their 24th Scudetto later that season. Juventus' official website still singles out that match as one of the most memorable MilanāJuventus encounters of all time.
1998: DEL PIERO AND INZAGHI TEAR MILAN APART IN TURIN
Just a year later came another great Bianconeri performance.
On 28 March 1998, Juventus beat Milan 4:1, with Alessandro Del Piero and Filippo Inzaghi in the leading roles, scoring two goals each. This was the Juventus of one of the club's most powerful eras, and Del Piero and Inzaghi formed an attacking partnership that Old Lady fans still remember today.
2005: TREZEGUET SETTLES IT AGAINST MILAN IN A DIRECT SCUDETTO BATTLE
One of the most important meetings between the two was played on 8 May 2005 at San Siro.
Milan and Juventus entered the final stretch of the league campaign as direct rivals for first place, and the Bianconeri won 1:0.
The goal was scored by David Trezeguet, after a spectacular move in which Del Piero acrobatically lifted the ball over to the Frenchman. It was one of the iconic moments of this rivalry.
2011: MARCHISIO SINKS THE CHAMPIONS AND HERALDS A NEW JUVENTUS ERA
The match from the first season at the new Juventus Stadium also holds a special place.
Reigning champions Milan arrived in Turin on 2 October 2011, but Antonio Conte's Juventus won 2:0, thanks to two late goals from Claudio Marchisio.
That victory took on even greater significance a few months later: Juventus won the Scudetto ahead of Milan and began a historic period of dominance in Italian football.
2017: HIGUAIN SILENCES SAN SIRO
Another match worth highlighting was played on 28 October 2017.
Juventus beat Milan 2:0 at San Siro, with Gonzalo HiguaĆn scoring both goals. The Argentine struck once in each half, while Paulo Dybala played an important role in both moves.

FROM PIRLO AND BAGGIO TO INZAGHI: THE GREATS WHO WORE BOTH SHIRTS
An extra dimension to this rivalry comes from the footballers who represented both Italian giants during their careers.
Roberto Baggio moved to Milan after five seasons at Juventus.
Filippo Inzaghi spent four seasons at Juventus before becoming one of Milan's icons. Andrea Pirlo went the other way: after ten seasons at Milan he arrived in Turin and became one of the cornerstones of Juventus' title-winning generation.
Then there are Zlatan IbrahimoviÄ, Edgar Davids, Gianluca Zambrotta, Christian Vieri and Leonardo Bonucci, as well as many other big names who link the two clubs.
It is fascinating how their stories intertwine: in 1998 Inzaghi scored twice against Milan for Juventus, only to score both goals against Juventus in Turin as a Milan player nine years later, in a match Juventus nevertheless won 3:2.
From Baggio, Del Piero and Zidane, through Pirlo, NedvÄd and IbrahimoviÄ, all the way to today's generations: Juventus against Milan has never been an ordinary match.
On Sunday, a new chapter will be written at the Allianz Stadium in a rivalry that has lasted for more than a century. This time both teams arrive with a maximum six points, and in front of their own fans Juventus will try to continue their perfect start to the season and once again paint the great Italian classic black and white.
The match is broadcast live on Arena Premium 2.
