Juventus vs AC Milan: Ruben Amorim faces first major test in Serie A

AC Milan face Juventus at the Allianz Stadium in Serie A on Sunday.

Milan have won their opening two league games under new manager Ruben Amorim, scoring four goals and conceding once.

Amorim’s impact has been evident in their results and style of play.

They have created the second-highest number of big chances (10), highlighting their attacking approach.

Milan have been one of the most direct teams, ranking only behind defending champions Inter Milan for accurate long balls per game.

The Italian giants have also been aggressive without the ball, leading the division for sprints per match.

Juventus have also secured maximum points from their opening two league games, scoring three and conceding none. They have stood out for their defensive resilience.

Milan have lost just one of their last six league visits to Juventus, after losing their previous nine consecutive matches at the Turin-based side’s stadium.

Amorim will be hoping for another productive display from his side as they seek to continue their impressive start to the season.

Milan will need to be more clinical to get a positive result here. They have missed a league-high eight big chances this season.

Samuel Chukwueze has been one of their best players. His flair, directness and pace could help Milan break down Juventus’ resolute defence.

Nullifying the threats of Francisco Conceicao and Kenan Yildiz could also be crucial at the other end.

Amorim has enjoyed a brilliant start to life at Milan, but his first major test comes against Juventus in Sunday’s showdown.
