The pre-season features another round of matches this week as Juventus lock horns with fellow Italian giants AC Milan in an intriguing fixture at the Dignity Health Sports Park in California on Thursday.

Juventus vs AC Milan Preview

AC Milan finished in fourth place in the Serie A standings last season and have not been at their best in recent months. The Rossoneri slumped to a narrow 3-2 defeat at the hands of Real Madrid in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week. Milan were up 2-0 at one stage before conceding three goals.

Juventus, on the other hand, finished in seventh place in the Serie A table last season and were severely hampered by a points deduction in the middle of their league campaign. The Bianconeri edged Udinese to a narrow 1-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result in this match.
