As of 19:45 UK time, Juventus struggles with a severe injury crisis. They are missing key players like Dušan Vlahović and Kenan Yıldız. This absence could severely impact their performance.

In contrast, AC Milan is third in the Serie A table with 66 points. They have a full squad available, including stars like Rafael Leão, Christian Pulisic, and Luka Modric.

Milan has achieved four clean sheets in a row prior to this match. Their defensive stability offers them an advantage against a depleted Juventus side.

Historically, the rivalry is fierce—known as the ‘Derby dei Campioni’. The last time Milan scored against Juventus was in May 2023. That adds pressure on them to break the drought.

Juventus’ lineup includes Jeremie Boga, Jonathan David, and Francisco Conceicao. However, they will need a strong performance from Michele Di Gregorio, who returned to goal after struggling with form.

Observers note that Max Allegri’s men are only three points clear of the Bianconeri. They need a victory to keep up with Napoli in second place—this adds urgency to the match.

With both teams in critical positions, every moment counts. The outcome could reshape the Serie A standings significantly.

Pervis Estupiñán scored the only goal in a 1-0 victory for AC Milan against Inter Milan in the Derby della Madonnina on March 8, 2026. This victory marks a significant achievement for Estupiñán, who described the goal as the most important of his career.

The goal came in the 35th minute of the match, helping AC Milan secure their second derby win of the season. Following this match, AC Milan moved to within seven points of Inter Milan in the Serie A standings, a notable shift in the league dynamics.

Estupiñán made history by becoming the first Ecuadorian player to score in a Milan derby. This victory also extended Milan’s unbeaten run against Inter to seven matches across all competitions, a streak not seen since the period from November 2002 to April 2005.

AC Milan’s expected goals (xG) total for the match was 0.77, while Inter’s was higher at 1.24, indicating a competitive match despite the final score. Milan has now reached 60 points after their first 28 games of the league season for only the fourth time in their history.

Reflecting on his performance, Estupiñán stated, “Yes, it’s the most important goal of my career. We worked hard this week, and this is the result.” He added, “We worked hard on it all week, the coach told me to attack and I found the right moment.”

This win is particularly significant as it marks the first time since the 2010-11 season that Milan has won both league derbies against Inter.

Looking ahead, AC Milan’s next match is against Lazio, where they will aim to continue their strong form in the league.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential injuries or player changes for the upcoming match.
