Two Calcio giants clash in Friday's second Supercoppa Italiana semi-final, as Juventus meet AC Milan in Riyadh.

Juventus:

Juventus enter this Supercoppa Italiana semi-final as the competition's most successful club, with nine titles to their name. However, the Bianconeri's Serie A campaign has been frustrating, as they've struggled to convert draws into wins, sitting just outside the top four. Under new manager Thiago Motta, Juve have been solid defensively but have drawn an alarming 21 league matches throughout 2024, making a top-four finish and Champions League qualification seem increasingly difficult. Despite these challenges, Juventus will look to build momentum in Riyadh, especially with their recent Coppa Italia victory securing their place in this tournament. They will aim for a strong start here, knowing that their future in Europe and domestic competitions depends on adding more silverware this season.

AC Milan:

AC Milan’s season has been far from smooth, sitting in eighth place and trailing Juventus by five points, but with a game in hand. The club’s disappointing domestic form led to a managerial change, with Sergio Conceicao replacing the sacked Fonseca. Conceicao, who has a strong reputation following his successful tenure at Porto, will hope to turn Milan’s fortunes around, starting with a Supercoppa Italiana win. Milan’s struggles in Serie A are evident, but they still boast individual talent, particularly Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, who has been involved in 11 goals this season. A win here would not only boost Milan’s morale but could also serve as a springboard to get their season back on track. With the Supercoppa as an early opportunity for silverware, Milan will look to impress in Saudi Arabia, especially under the new management.
