All you need to know ahead of the Serie A showdown between Juventus and AC Milan at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday evening. We look at the match details, recent form, team news, and what’s at stake in this early-season blockbuster.
Match overview
Juventus and AC Milan are set to face off on 6 September 2026 at 20:45 local time (18:45 GMT) at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. This is a meeting of two unbeaten sides, both sitting on six points from two matches, making this a crucial test for early supremacy in the 2026/27 Serie A campaign.
Juventus’s solid start
The Bianconeri have made a perfect start to the season, winning both their opening fixtures without conceding a goal. After a narrow 1-0 victory away to Frosinone on the opening day, they followed up with a convincing 2-0 home win over Parma on 29 August. Substitute Nicolás González broke the deadlock in the 62nd minute, with Teun Koopmeiners sealing the points two minutes from time. This defensive solidity, marshalled by Gleison Bremer, has been the cornerstone of their early success.
AC Milan’s attacking flair
The Rossoneri have also taken maximum points from their opening two games, showcasing an energetic and potent attack. After a 2-1 away win against Torino on the opening day, they beat Venezia 2-0 at San Siro on 28 August. Gonçalo Ramos opened the scoring in the 69th minute, with an own goal from Redouane Halhal confirming the win. The creative hub of Luka Modrić and the finishing of Ramos have been key to their early form.
Team news and possible lineups
Juventus will be without Andrea Cambiaso, who picked up an injury in the win over Parma. Coach Luciano Spalletti has not yet confirmed his starting eleven, with updates expected closer to kickoff. AC Milan, on the other hand, have no reported injuries or suspensions, and coach Ruben Amorim is also keeping his cards close to his chest.
