Milan versus Juventus should be a mouthwatering fixture, just thinking about it is making me both exited and nervous. When Juve beat them back in October Milan were not in great form and were suffering a bit, and it took 2 very late Claudio Marchisio goals to defeat them, now Milan are sitting pretty ontop of the table and The Old Lady are struggling with getting the goals and last weekend got the win, but in my humble opinion, it was more to do with goalkeeping errors.
However that takes nothing away from Juventus' determination and hunger to get into the game. Sometime they do seem to be in a hurry to score the goals which can leave them exposed, like it did against Catania, yet the have a new found confidence that allows them to continue to play their game and eventually be victorious. This calmness and high tempo that they have could confuse the Rossoneri. Milan also won their game by a 3-1 margin, however they were ahead by 3 goals and allowed Cesena to get back into it, which shows an air of overconfidence which if Juve are smart, they could exploit. Mila could be without Zlatan Ibrahimovic but that doesn't take much away from Milan's goal threat as the posses; Robinho, Pato, El Sharawaay, Seedorf, Kevin- Prince- Boateng and Antonio Nocherino to name but a few.
These two Northern Giants may only be separated by a point, but in terms of class they are both equally great.
