Juventus vs. AC Milan: matchday 6 ends with a bang

Serie A goes out with a bang before the international break puts the standings on hold for a couple of weeks. Who will be looking down on everyone from the top? The answer will depend, in part, on the clash at the Stadium. The Rossoneri, led by former Juventus coach Max Allegri, arrive in Turin fresh from victory over Napoli, a point ahead of the Bianconeri and determined to pull further ahead. After draws with Verona and Atalanta, Igor Tudor’s side need a win and will be aiming to leapfrog their rivals in the table.
