Juventus have opened up a seven-point lead at the top of the standings, although having failed to beat Udinese last time out they will want to make things right against AC Milan.

The Rossoneri finally ended the barren run as they defeated Parma, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry on Saturday evening.

This is proving to be a very successful season for Juventus considering the Bianconeri have finally made it to the Champions League knockout stages, while also impressing on domestic stage.

And while Max Allegri’s side will be vying out-of-sorts Borussia Dortmund for a place in the Champions League quarter-finals, they are slowly creating a decisive advantage in the Serie A title chase.

Juventus took great advantage of Roma’s struggles to move seven points clear at the league summit, and the goalless draw at Friuli did not prove costly.

That was the fourth successive match in which the Bianconeri kept a clean sheet, so bear in mind they are 2.20 (6/5) to beat Milan to nil.

Max Allegri faces some selection problems seeing as Stephan Lichtsteiner is banned and Arturo Vidal and Patrice Evra face fitness tests.

Meanwhile, the likes of Romulo (groin), Kwadwo Asamoah (knee), Martin Caceres (muscle) and Alessandro Matri (calf) remain on the sidelines.

Probable starting line-up (4-3-1-2): Buffon – Ogbonna, Bonucci, Chiellini, Evra – Pogba, Pirlo, Marchisio – Vidal – Tevez, Llorente.

While the team have been showing signs of promise under Pippo Inzaghi, the new manager has yet to find the real balance in the side, meaning the results remain under-par.

The Rossoneri officials did a great job by securing the signature of striker Mattia Destro, and with Alessio Cerci also arriving and Keisuke Honda back from international duty, AC Milan fans do have reason for optimism.

A three-match losing run finally came to an end as the Rossoneri defeated bottom-placed Parma 3-1, with Jeremy Menez scoring two more goals to take his tally to 12.

Milan now arrive in Turin hoping to prove their worth against Italy’s top side and they can be backed at 3.60 (13/5) not to lose the game.

New signing Mattia Destro and defender Philippe Mexes are both banned, whilst Nigel de Jong and Riccardo Montolivo are rated doubtful.

Cristian Zapata, Mattia De Sciglio, Ignazio Abate, Daniele Bonera, Stephan El Shaarawy and Hachim Mastour are out injured.

Probable starting line-up (4-3-3): Lopez – Zaccardo, Rami, Alex, Antonelli – Poli, Essien, Muntari – Honda, Menez, Bonaventura.
