Allianz Stadium hosts one of the standout fixtures of the Serie A weekend as Juventus welcome AC Milan for a top-of-the-table encounter on Sunday evening. Both sides have made flawless starts to the 2026/27 campaign, winning their opening two matches without dropping a point. With the Bianconeri sitting fifth and the Rossoneri fourth in the early standings, this showdown carries significant weight in the race for the Scudetto.

Match details

The Serie A matchday 3 fixture kicks off at 20:45 local time (18:45 GMT) on 6 September 2026 at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. Juventus will be aiming to extend their perfect start, while AC Milan look to maintain their momentum in what promises to be a fiercely contested Italian classic.

Juventus edge past Parma

Juventus head into this clash on the back of a controlled 2-0 victory over Parma on 29 August. After a goalless first half, substitute Nicolás González broke the deadlock in the 62nd minute, with Teun Koopmeiners sealing the win eight minutes from time. That result, combined with a 1-0 away success against Frosinone on the opening day, leaves the Turin side with six points and a perfect defensive record. The backline, marshalled by Gleison Bremer, has yet to concede a goal this season.

Milan maintain winning start

AC Milan arrive in Turin full of confidence after a 2-0 home victory over Venezia on 28 August. Gonçalo Ramos opened the scoring in the 69th minute, and a late own goal from Redouane Halhal sealed the result. The Rossoneri had previously beaten Torino 2-1 away on matchday one, meaning they also boast six points from six. Their attacking unit, led by Luka Modrić and Ramos, has been lively, and they will pose a significant threat to Juventus’s stubborn defence.

Defensive resilience vs attacking flair

Historically, meetings between these two giants are defined by tactical discipline and high intensity. Juventus’s impenetrable backline will face its sternest test yet against Milan’s dynamic forward line. With little separating the early title contenders, Sunday’s showdown promises a classic Italian duel from the first whistle.

Predicted lineups

Juventus: Vicario; Kalulu, Bremer, Lucumi, Celik; Locatelli, Luiz; Conceicao, Gonzalez, Boga; Kolo Muani

AC Milan: Maignan; Gila, De Winter, Pavlovic; Chukwueze, Modric, Musah, Bartesaghi; Rabiot, Cisse; Ramos

Team news

Juventus will be without Andrea Cambiaso, who picked up an injury in the win over Parma. Coach Luciano Spalletti has yet to confirm his starting eleven, with updates expected closer to kickoff. On the Milan side, Ruben Amorim reports no injuries or suspensions, and the visitors’ lineup is also yet to be announced.

Recent form

Juventus have won three of their last five matches, with one defeat and no draws in that run. Their most recent outing was the 2-0 home win over Parma, following a 1-0 success at Frosinone. The only loss in that period came against Inter in a pre-season friendly, where they fell 2-1. Over those five games, they have scored six goals and conceded three.

Milan have also won three of their last five, with one defeat and one draw. Their latest result was the 2-0 victory over Venezia, preceded by a 4-2 friendly win at Manchester United. The sole defeat was a 3-0 reverse against Chelsea in a friendly. Milan have scored ten goals and conceded five in that stretch.

Head-to-head

The most recent meeting between these sides ended goalless at San Siro in April 2026, and the previous Serie A encounter in October 2025 also finished 0-0 at the Allianz Stadium. In the last five head-to-head clashes, Juventus have won once, Milan once, and three have ended level. The only decisive Serie A result in that sequence was a 2-0 Juventus victory in January 2025.

League standings

After two rounds, Milan sit fourth with six points, while Juventus are fifth, also on six points, but with a superior goal difference of +3 compared to Milan’s +3. Inter lead the table with nine points from three games, followed by Como and Roma. A win for either side on Sunday would keep them in touch with the early pacesetters.
