Juventus

It is strange to look at the Serie A standings and see Juventus in sixteenth place after three matches, with one draw and two defeats. Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure was inevitably going to affect Juventus, but it was not expected to be to such an extent.

This is the worst start Juventus have had in the last five seasons by a country mile: in the first three rounds previously they have secured a minimum of seven points, while this season they have managed just one point so far.

Juventus have won just one of their last five meetings with Milan.

Milan

Unlike Juventus, Milan’s start to the season has been strong. They have won all their league games, and are joint top of Serie A along with Roma and Napoli.

After returning from a long injury, Milan icon Zlatan Ibrahimovic has picked up another injury. Fortunately it is only minor, but he will still be out for around three weeks, leaving. Milan without a very important player for the Serie A and Champions League matches in the coming weeks.

Milan were the best away team last season, losing only two games away from the San Siro.
