2026-2027 Serie A: Juventus vs. Milan, Probable Lineups

Kickoff is at 8:45 p.m. for Sunday’s big match on Matchday 3 of Serie A between Juventus and Milan, scheduled at Allianz Stadium. Both teams have perfect records and need to respond to Roma and Inter, who both won on Saturday. The Bianconeri defeated Frosinone and Parma without conceding a goal, while the Rossoneri beat Torino and Venezia in their first two matches.

Spalletti faces several issues up front due to the unavailability of players such as Kenan Yildiz and McKennie. Kolo Muani will once again start as the center forward, with Woltemade potentially coming on as a substitute during the match. In the attacking midfield, Nico Gonzalez will play behind the striker, flanked by Boga and Conceiçao. In midfield, Locatelli will partner with Douglas Luiz, while at the back, Lucumi is expected to win the battle for the starting spot over Kelly.

Amorim’s lineup: Gonçalo Ramos as the center forward, supported in the attacking midfield by Saelemaekers and Rabiot. Modric returns to the starting lineup in midfield, joined by Musah, while Chukwueze and Moreira operate on the wings. Cissé is expected to start on the bench.

Juventus vs. Milan: Probable Lineups
JUVENTUS (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Kalulu, Bremer, Lucumi, Celik; Locatelli, Douglas Luiz; Conceicao, Gonzalez, Boga; Kolo Muani. Head Coach: Spalletti
MILAN (3-4-2-1): Maignan; Gila, De Winter, Pavlovic; Chukwueze, Musah, Modric, Moreira; Rabiot, Saelemaekers; Ramos. Coach: Amorim

At the press conference, Spalletti summed up the situation as follows: “Who’s back? No one… In addition to the already established absences of Yildiz, Thuram, and Ekhator, Cambiaso, McKennie, Cabal, and Sarr will also be out: we do have a few minor issues. The new Milan is a team that plays with immediacy, verticality, and intensity—they jump right on you and force you to match their pace—but our opponents’ aggressiveness shouldn’t scare us.”
