Juventus and Milan have named their official starting lineups for the Serie A meeting set for 20.45, turning a long-anticipated fixture into a concrete one. Juventus will line up in a 4-2-3-1, while Milan have gone with a 3-4-2-1.
The selections put the focus on the players who will decide a match shown exclusively on Dazn, with Maurizio Mariani of Aprilia in charge and Daniele Bindoni, Stefano Alassio, Matteo Marcenaro, Michael Fabbri and Giacomo Camplone all assigned to the officiating team. For readers searching now, that is the reason: the lineups are no longer speculation, and the 3rd round meeting has its frame.
Spalletti’s Juventus list starts Vicario, Kalulu, Bremer, Lucumì, Celik, Locatelli, Douglas Luiz, Conceiçao, Nico Gonzalez, Alajbegovic and Kolo Muani. Amorim’s Milan answer is Maignan, Gila, De Winter, Pavlovic, Moreira, Musah, Modric, Estupinan, Rabiot, Saelemaekers and Ramos. Spalletti also named Boga in an alternative Juventus setup, while Amorim included Chukwueze in an alternative Milan version.
The matchup carries more than lineup intrigue. Juventus and Milan are meeting for the 183rd time in Serie A, with Juventus holding 69 wins, 60 draws and 53 losses in the rivalry cited before kickoff, and four of the last five league meetings ending 0-0. The previous season produced two more scoreless draws, and Milan have not scored against Juventus in six consecutive matches, with the last goal coming from Olivier Giroud in May 2023.
That is why Adrien Rabiot stands out in a match built on fine margins. He could become the first player with non-Italian sporting nationality to score in Juventus-Milan wearing both shirts, a small detail that fits a larger pattern: Juventus have already tried 18 shots from distance in the first two rounds, while Amorim’s team had five, the same as Monza, and only Torino had fewer than the other side’s three. If this match breaks the recent run of goalless league meetings, it will do so because one of these official lineups finally turns a tight rivalry into a decisive finish.
