Five key battles in Milan vs Juventus: Leao & Bremer to lock horns

The clashes between Milan and Juventus have often been associated with captivating duels between some of the biggest stars in the sport.

Unfortunately for the Calcio fanatics, the days of Paolo Maldini and Alessandro Del Piero are long gone. Nevertheless, Sunday’s contest at San Siro will still witness some compelling battles between the two sets of players.

So let’s take a closer look at five anticipated player duels that are likely to ensue this evening, at least based on the expected starting lineups.

Strahinja Pavlovic vs Francisco Conceicao

Stahinja Pavlovic has now cemented himself as a protagonist for Milan at both ends of the pitch. Nevertheless, the presence of the in-form Chico Conceicao could prompt Max Allegri to pin back his Serbian defender, as the tricky Portuguese winger can be deadly when given space.

The one-on-one duels between these two will be enticing.

Alexis Saelemaekers vs Andrea Cambiaso

This should be a good old-fashioned battle between two wing-backs who excel in the attacking phase, but have a knack for committing mistakes at the back. These two should battle it out all along the touchline, and whoever prevails will give his team a big advantage.
