After opening 2024 by claiming a trophy in the form of the Italian Super Cup won against Roma in Cremona last weekend, the Bianconere are back in action in Biella on Saturday with AC Milan visiting.
Joe Montemurro’s side won 1-0 when the two sides met in Milan earlier this season, and they could claim back-to-back wins over the Rossonere for the first time since doing so between October 2020 and March 2021.
So, then, let’s take a look at some of the more interesting statistics surrounding the fixture.
GOOD RECORD | Juventus are unbeaten in nine of their 12 games against AC Milan, winning seven and drawing two of those.
AN UNWANTED TRIP | Milan travel to Biella to take on the team against whom they have suffered the most defeats across all competitions (11 in 17 games), the side against whom they have conceded the most goals (42), and have the longest run of games in which they have conceded at least one goal (16) against.
TAKE AIM | Juventus have only failed to score in one game against AC Milan, which came back on November 4, 2018.
TRIPLE THREAT | Juventus are, along with Roma, the side to have the most players with more than three goals to their name this season, each with four. The four Bianconere are Lineth Beerensteyn (7), Arianna Caruso (5), Cristiana Girelli (5) and Lindsey Thomas (4).
LINEY’S ON FIRE | Beerensteyn is the top goalscorer in Serie A this season with seven goals, and she has 22 goals in the competition in all. Since her arrival in 2022/23, only former Inter forward Tabitha Chawinga (30) has scored more.
