If we look behind the numbers: Juventus scored 4 goals away, but the 4 goals were scored in the same game ... Their two draws were 0-0 and when the only time they conceded, they lost.

My God, I just love Saturday night's football & I never though I would be seeing ACM playing so many times on Saturday, let alone against Inter & Juve I guess the trend is changing from Sunday's to Saturdays. Just love it

Krasic, Amauri and Inaquinta all out.
I can't wait till the weekend already!

Both Milan and Inter are having a tough one on paper (just like Lazio). No Krasic is good news to us, and if we keep playing Robinho and Boateng over Ronaldinho and Seedorf, we should win this. Also, Oddo played a very good game against Napoli, so I guess it would make sense to start him, surely if one of Antonini and Zambrotta cannot start.

Genoa - Inter
Milan - Juventus
Palermo - Lazio
= interesting weekend, especially our game, let's hope who plays at home wins

Our worst case scenario is that we will not have THIAGO SILVA GIANLUCA ZAMBROTTA RONALDINHO LUCA ANTONINI IGNAZIO ABATE If we actually are without all of these players I think that we will play like this

---------------------Abbiati--------------------------
---Oddo------Sokratis------Nesta------Bonera--------
-----------Boetang---Pirlo----Gattuso---------------
---------------------Robinho------------------------
---------------Pato--------Ibrahimovic---------------

I think our best lineup could be this though

---------------------------------Abbiati---------------------------------
--Zambrotta--Thiago Silva---Nesta-----Antonini------
------------------Boetang-------Pirlo------Gattuso----------------------
-------------------------------Robinho----------------------------------
------------------------Pato----------Ibrahimovic-----------------------

Well I hope we win. Happy they won't have Krasic. forza milan!

My Lineup...

-------------Ibrahimovic----Pato----------------
----------------------Robinho--------------------
-------------Gattuso---Pirlo---Boateng---------
--Zambrotta----Sokratis--Nesta----Oddo------
----------------------Abbiati---------------------

If T. Silva or Antonini are available, that would change things, but this is my lineup for any BIG game in the near future....

I would rest Gatutso for Real game....

I liked Seedorf's role in the Napoli game, came on as a 2nd half sub, when everyone was already tiring... He's definitely got the quality, but no longer have the legs for full time

Me too.. I would rather Flamini play, but I have a funny thing Allegri won't do that...

It looks like Antonini will be back ... but I don't know if he'll be rested or not against Juventus. I think the best is to send our most in form players against Juventus to destroy them, get confidence and be ready to welcome Real Madrid in the hell of San Siro !!

the only game in which i become violenty aggressive if we don't win! there are too many smug Juve fans, most of them my friends hahahaha.

this juventus side is certainly not like a few seasons ago. I am confident.

Five Ways Milan Can Beat Juventus, according to Goal.com:
http://www.goal.com/en/news/1717/edi...-beat-juventus

I'd say there's one way Milan can beat Juventus:
1. Show up

I'll probably watch this game at my brother's home: Milan plays at home, I will watch the game away (he's a Juventus fan) !!

I hope we're going to destroy them because if we lose, he will joke about me and Milan for weeks (I did during the whole summer after our 3-0 win) ...

Forza Milan, 4-0 will be enough for me !!

When we won double 3-0 last season I barely mocked my Juventini friends (there are 6-7 of them and I'm the only Milan fan here), they're so weak that I sometimes feels our victory means nothing. And I HATE it. I hope Juve this year shows some good performances and results that will make our thrashing over them more worthy.
