The Italian Supercoppa takes place in Doha as Juve seek to lift the trophy for the fourth time in five years. The last time the game was held in Qatar, Napoli managed to upset Juve on penalties, so that might give Milan some hope. They’ll also take heart from the fact that they’ve already beaten Juve this season at the San Siro, while they’re just two points off Roma in the league, which is the closest they’ve been to the European spots for a long time.
However, Juve have been excellent against their nearest rivals in the league in recent times as they have a W17-D3-L5 record against fellow top-six teams since 2014/15. What’s more, Milan’s win at the San Siro ended a run of nine straight wins for Juve in this fixture in all competitions. Indeed, the 1-0 win this season was only Milan’s second goal in their last six clashes with the Old Lady.
Milan have also failed to score in their last two in the league and since Juve have kept clean sheets in their last two victories in the Supercoppa, we fancy them to win without conceding again. Juve have looked much more solid defensively with Chiellini returning to the side in recent weeks while they managed to shut out the league’s second top scorers, Roma, in their last game.
