The match between Juventus and AC Milan in Turin, valid for 35th matchday of Serie A will be a fight until the end as both clubs cannot afford to drop points since they are aiming to secure a Champions League qualification.
La Gazzetta dello Sport's in today's print edition highlights that the game will have many battles in it. The duels to look out for will be the following:
Juan Cuadrado vs Theo Hernandez: they play in defense, but the offensive play of the two teams also starts from them quite often. The Juventus side is first in terms of opportunities created in Pirlo's formation and without him and his dribbles Juventus is more predictable. The same goes for the AC Milan full-back whose speed on the left flank are among the most important weapons of Pioli's team.
Cristiano Ronaldo vs Simon Kjaer: they are fundamental for their respective teams. Without the goals of the Portuguese, who knows where Juventus would be, while the Dane, who arrived in January 2020 amid general skepticism, has become a leader and an irreplaceable cog in Pioli's system. His experience will also be essential to stop Ronaldo himself.
Rodrigo Bentancur vs Hakan Calhanoglu: the two will have to mark each other and whoever wins will bring a great advantage to their team as both are the main sources of play of the two teams. It is a fact that if the Turk plays well, then Milan also plays well and creates more scoring chances.
