Juventus and AC Milan are set to clash at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday evening in a highly anticipated Serie A encounter. Both teams have started the 2026/27 season with perfect records, making this match a crucial early test for the Scudetto race.
Match details
The fixture is scheduled for September 6, 2026, with kickoff at 20:45 local time (18:45 GMT). The venue is the Allianz Stadium in Turin.
Juventus aiming to extend perfect start
Juventus come into this match on the back of two consecutive wins, having kept clean sheets in both. Their most recent outing was a 2-0 home victory over Parma on August 29. After a goalless first half, substitute Nicolás González broke the deadlock in the 62nd minute, with Teun Koopmeiners sealing the win in the 88th minute. That result followed a 1-0 away success against Frosinone on the opening day. With six points from six, the Bianconeri have yet to concede a goal, thanks in large part to a solid defensive unit marshalled by Gleison Bremer.
AC Milan in confident mood
AC Milan travel to Turin full of confidence after a 2-0 win over Venezia at San Siro on August 28. Gonçalo Ramos opened the scoring in the 69th minute, with an own goal from Redouane Halhal sealing the result. That victory came after a 2-1 away win against Torino on matchday one. Milan also have six points from six, with an energetic attacking setup centred around Luka Modrić and Gonçalo Ramos.
Defensive solidity vs attacking flair
Historically, meetings between these two giants are characterised by tactical discipline and high intensity from start to finish. Juventus’s impenetrable defence will face its biggest test yet against Milan’s dangerous forward line. With little separating the top contenders in the early Scudetto race, Sunday’s showdown promises to be a classic Italian duel.

Juventus: Vicario; Kalulu, Bremer, Lucumi, Celik; Locatelli, Luiz; Conceicao, Gonzalez, Boga; Kolo Muani
