AC Milan v Juventus. Tancredi Palmeri’s prediction

In spite of being a great football classic, the odds on Juventus against AC Milan are quite staggering: cup in hands for the bianconeri is at 1.30. Absolutely incredible when we consider the prestige of the these two clubs, but quite normal looking at the abysmal gap between the two, and, sadly, such has been the demise of AC Milan in recent years.

It is very hard to believe not only that AC Milan could win, but even that the rossoneri could push the side from Turin into extra-time. Given the season that Milan have had it’s quite remarkable that they’ve made it to the final of Coppa Italia; however, even the most optimistic of fans can’t be too confident of their chances today. Such is the dominance of Juventus in Italy right now. At some point during this final the main issue for the Milanese might be simply going out with an honourable defeat. Since Juve are the likely winners here and since the bookies are all too familiar with this notion, the way to bet in this one is through combinations. Juventus simply look too strong for their opponents and should win, while their main hit-man Paula Dybala has been in great form this season and is a good bet to get on the score-sheet today. Combining these two bets – Juventus win + Dybala to score anytime – pays an attractive looking 11/5.
