What do you think about AC Milan being the favourite in the game against Juventus this Saturday?
The odds are x2.16 for Milan, x3.20 for a draw and x3.50 for Juve.
This is probably due to the historical results, in their last 8 direct clashes, AC Milan came out victorious 3 times, Juventus only once and we had 4 draws. But this season Juventus is doing noticeably better. They often struggle to win and end up splitting points with their opponents, but, so far, they haven't lost a single league game and conceded only 7 goals, which indicates the best defence in Serie A.
I think a double-chance bet on Juventus or a draw (odds of x1.61) is worth considering.
I personally don't know for sure, how Milan became the more favored team compared to Juventus, whether maybe the factor of playing at home has a big influence on the odds. Because after all, the fact is, so far this season Juventus are still the best team for away games with a very low number of conceded and have good goal productivity for away games compared to other teams.
But perhaps, because Juventus is also still the best team for away games so far this season, making Milan also still get high odds in the @2.xx range like that. Because anyway, if the home team is really favored to win, then the odds are only around @1.xx not @2.xx. Thus, it is still very possible that the match ends in a draw, but I still expect Juventus to be able to top the standings.
