Match details: Juventus vs AC Milan

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 Serie A clash is the highlight of the third matchday of the 2026/27 season.

Italian giants collide in Turin

Juventus return to their home ground with confidence, having secured two consecutive victories and kept two clean sheets ahead of this weekend’s fixture. The Bianconeri aim to extend their perfect start to the season and maintain their position at the top of the table. For AC Milan, this trip to Turin represents a major early test of their title credentials, as they too have won their opening two league matches.

Juventus overcome Parma after the break

Juventus approach Sunday’s match after a controlled 2-0 home win against Parma on 29 August. After a goalless first half, substitute Nicolás González broke the deadlock in the 62nd minute, and Teun Koopmeiners sealed the victory in the 88th minute. Combined with their 1-0 away success at Frosinone on the opening day, Juventus have a perfect six points without conceding a goal, highlighting the defensive solidity led by Gleison Bremer.

Ramos leads Rossoneri past Venezia

AC Milan travel to Turin full of belief after a 2-0 victory over Venezia at San Siro on 28 August. Gonçalo Ramos opened the scoring in the 69th minute, and a late own goal from Redouane Halhal confirmed the result. Following their 2-1 away win at Torino in the first round, Milan also boast six points from six, thanks to an energetic attacking unit built around Luka Modrić and Gonçalo Ramos.

Defensive resilience meets dynamic attack at the Allianz Stadium

Historically, matches between these two giants are characterised by tactical discipline and high intensity from start to finish. Juventus’s impenetrable defence will face its sternest test yet against Milan’s dangerous forward line. With little separating the early Scudetto contenders, Sunday’s showdown promises a classic Italian duel from the first whistle.
