Popularly considered to be one of the greatest leagues in the world, the series A is home to various great clubs. At the peak of them all, no doubt is Juventus and Ac Milan. This rivalry has continued all the way to this day. Now as both teams prepare for the super cup, they would be wary of the threats which they would both face. The rivalry is once again alive.
Juventus are simply the team to beat. This season has been amazing even by their standards. They are yet to lose a game in the league this season and that remarkable record has seen them accumulate more points than they have ever done in their history. For many people, this remarkable feat is all thanks to the presence of Ronaldo who moved to Juventus from Real Madrid during the last summer transfer. He has been in excellent form for them scoring 14 goals in his first 21 appearances. Therefore, with regards to this match, they would be cautiously optimistic as to what they can produce.
Ac Milan is a team under reconstruction. The days of the great team are gone and for the last seven years, the league has been outrightly dominated by the old lady. However, with the acquisition of players such as Higuaín, it is believed that Ac Milan is aiming to slowly close the gap in terms of talent which their rivals have opened for them it is, therefore, an opportunity to test how far they have come when they met Juventus in the super cup later today.
One thing that has the ability to effect this match is the form of both teams. Ac Milan record has been terrible in recent times and they would surely be wondering the impact it is going to have on the game. They have won just twice in their six games. The other games have ended in three draws and a loss. They would be hoping that they can find a way past their bunch of draws and get a win which they would certainly savor. Juventus, on the other hand, is simply unstoppable right now. They have won five of their last six matches with only ending in a draw. This is something which would give them all the confidence which they would need going forward into this game. Another thing which may come into play is the history. The last time both teams were in the league. On that day, Juventus ran out 3-1 winners and Higuaín was sent off.
The game is set to take place in Saudi Arabia. For most people, it is more or less a friendly match that has been glorified. However, you can be assured that the players would take the game a little more personally due to the team they are facing. It, however, remains to be seen if Higuaín would be in the game as rumors have consistently linked him to the English team, Chelsea. Regardless of that, it would definitely be a feisty affair.
