It’s currently 15/2 for the travelling side to pull off a shock and overcome the league leaders.
A home win is available at 4/9, with a draw available at 16/5.
Not only do they find themselves in the bottom half of the table, but Milan are also among the lowest scores in Serie A this season.

Juventus are once again fancied to win at home on the weekend.
Moreover, the away side head into the meeting with Juve on the back of a 2-1 loss at home to Lazio. Their previous loss was also by a 2-1 scoreline at Roma. It’s currently 15/2 for Milan to suffer another 2-1 defeat.
The home side meanwhile will be full of confidence. A second-half Matthijs de Ligt goal was the highlight of the game as Juventus edged past Torino 1-0.
The hosts have been given odds of 11/2 to secure another 1-0 victory.
AC have the unwanted statistic of five red cards in the league this season. They are 4/6 to receive the first one on Sunday evening. No red card can be backed at 28/1.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s five Serie A goals this season is the most for Juve. The Portuguese star has once again provided the main attacking threat for the club. He can be backed at 11/5 to score the first goal of the game.
Ronaldo to score anytime in another narrow 1-0 victory has been given odds of 10/1.
His fellow forward Paulo Dybala has four goals in all competitions. He will also be keen to show his abilities against the fallen giants of Milan. The Argentine is currently 10/3 to score first.
And their team-mate Gonzalo Higuain will also be eager to net against his former side. The striker has three goals in all competitions this season. He is currently 4/1 to score the opener.
For Milan, it’s been their Polish striker Krzysztof Piatek who has looked the most dangerous. He is currently available at 11/4 to score his fourth goal of the season.
