Juventus

Last updated: Thu 17 January 2019 11:23
In Brief

Debut in the new year with 2-0 away win over Bologna in Coppa Italia. Facing Milan in Jeddah. Mandzukic, Barzagli, Benatia and Cuadrado out. Cancelo returns.

Looking Back

Were always in control against Bologna in the Cup and scored one goal per half courtesy of opponents' mistakes.

Bernardeschi and Kean scored the goals and made the difference. Douglas Costa was a constant danger. De Sciglio made too many mistakes.

Looking Ahead

Juventus have won 18 and drawn 2 out of the 20 games played in the domestic competitions.

Mandzukic, Barzagli, Cuadrado and Benatia are out. Cancelo returns to the squad.

Pjanic is one yellow card away from ban.

Cancelo is contending with De Sciglio at right-back and Douglas Costa with Bernardeschi in the attack. Kean could also be considered up-front. Can should prevail over Bentancur in the midfield.

Points of Interest

Juventus already faced Milan twice in the Italian Super Cup: they won once, in 2003, and lost once, in 2016. Both games were decided through a penalty shootout.

Milan

Last updated: Thu 17 January 2019 11:23
In Brief

Defeated Sampdoria 2-0 in the extra times in the Cup. Facing Juventus. Suso banned. Caldara, Bonaventura and Biglia out.

Looking Back

After some lively regular times, Milan scored twice in the extra times and eliminated Sampdoria from the Coppa Italia.

Cutrone was the hero of the match with a decisive brace. Paquetà had a positive debut. Reina made some decisive saves, keeping his side alive.

Looking Ahead

Milan have won the last 2 games played and will next be taking on Juventus.

Biglia, Bonaventura and Caldara will be out.

Suso will be banned. Calabria returns from a Cup ban. Calabria and Romagnoli are one yellow card away from suspension.

Higuain should start despite rumours of a sale: Cutrone would be the alternative up-front.

In a 4-4-2 formation, Paquetà could end up on the bench with Cutrone joining Higuain in the forward two.

Points of Interest

Milan and Juventus scored 1 goal each in the regular times and 1 goal each in the extra times in the previous two Italian Super Cup fixtures.
