&lt;p&gt;The match scheduled for Saturday 23 at 18:00 CET at the Meazza represents an historical anomaly: Juventus (sixth) and AC Milan (seventh) face off in the league at a time when they both find themselves &lt;strong&gt;outside of the top-five&lt;/strong&gt; in the Serie A since the first day of the season, something which has&lt;strong&gt; just happened once in the last 50 years&lt;/strong&gt;, precisely on 21 November 2015, when the bianconeri won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Paulo Dybala. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The other peculiarity in terms of this clash concerns the clash between the coaches: both Paulo Fonseca and Thiago Motta are in their first year of managing their respective clubs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fonseca&lt;/strong&gt; and Motta, however, have never faced each other in Serie A, henceforth, this should be seen as an&lt;strong&gt; absolute first&lt;/strong&gt; for both. The Portuguese manager faced Juventus four times as Head Coach of &lt;strong&gt;Roma&lt;/strong&gt;, winning once (1-3 in Torino), a defeat and draw in the league, as well as a defeat in Coppa Italia. In five previous meetings, however, &lt;strong&gt;Motta&lt;/strong&gt; has had the better of the rossoneri on just one occasion, as he led &lt;strong&gt;Spezia at San Siro&lt;/strong&gt;, a stadium where the current bianconeri manager has not lost on two occasions against AC Milan. In terms of the rest, there have been two draws (both when the coach of Bologna) and two losses to the Diavolo (once when managing Spezia and the other when managing Bologna). &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Juventus 0-3 AC Milan, Matchday 19 2009/10&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The date was 10 January 2010, and at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin, there was a delicate match between the two sides, &lt;strong&gt;Ferrara’s&lt;/strong&gt; Juventus and &lt;strong&gt;Leonardo’s&lt;/strong&gt; AC Milan, as they both tried to gain ground on the leaders Inter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The match was a nervy affair, but the deadlock was broken due to a &lt;strong&gt;set-piece&lt;/strong&gt;. The trajectory of the ball from Pirlo surprised the Juventus defence, &lt;strong&gt;Nesta&lt;/strong&gt; found his way to the back-post and scored an easy tap-in. In the second half, history repeated itself. Another corner from Pirlo was met by &lt;strong&gt;Ronaldinho&lt;/strong&gt; on the front post and Manninger put it away. The Brazilian sealed the deal after latching onto an &lt;strong&gt;assist from Beckham&lt;/strong&gt;. The &lt;strong&gt;3-0&lt;/strong&gt; scoreline was replicated in the return leg at San Siro, with Zaccheroni in the dug out for the bianconeri. AC Milan ended the matchday in second place, five points behind Mourinho’s Inter side, while Juventus found themselves cut off from the top.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;4fbd3734-93cf-45f0-8d11-a24cb568500e&#34; data-image-id=&#34;4fbd3734-93cf-45f0-8d11-a24cb568500e&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/ce444d8d-9012-4d34-898c-86768c095b5f/Sito_HERO_dinho.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;4fbd3734-93cf-45f0-8d11-a24cb568500e&#34; data-image-id=&#34;4fbd3734-93cf-45f0-8d11-a24cb568500e&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQAOFeNjWVk&#34; data-new-window=&#34;true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AC Milan 2-1 Juventus, Matchday Nine 2010/11&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;On 30 October 2010, San Siro was the scene for a vibrant match between &lt;strong&gt;Allegri’s&lt;/strong&gt; AC Milan, who were chasing the leaders Lazio and off the back off of an away win against Napoli, while &lt;strong&gt;Delneri’s&lt;/strong&gt; Juventus found themselves lower down in the league tables and wanting to play catch up with the top teams.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The rossoneri started well and opened the scoring through Ibrahimović, who scored from distance, but Juventus replied with a great piece of acrobatic skill from &lt;strong&gt;Quagriella&lt;/strong&gt; after a cross from De Ceglie. The bianconeri withheld the attacks from Ibra and his teammates but came back with a reply. In the 65th minute, Sissoko played in Antonini but Abbiati managed to stop him from finishing, &lt;strong&gt;Del Piero&lt;/strong&gt; was perfectly positioned to receive the pass from his teammate to slot into the corner, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance. &lt;strong&gt;Ibra&lt;/strong&gt; tested the Juve goal with a powerful header, but the rossoneri’s pressure wasn’t enough and the bianconeri defence succeeded. The win boosted Juventus but AC Milan bounced back quickly, lining up a final triumph they had missed since 2004.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;8d5eeef6-c033-43ed-bd21-e975b9431cb2&#34; data-image-id=&#34;8d5eeef6-c033-43ed-bd21-e975b9431cb2&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/613f9ef1-6342-4626-8231-7bab0079866f/Sito_HERO_delpiero.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;8d5eeef6-c033-43ed-bd21-e975b9431cb2&#34; data-image-id=&#34;8d5eeef6-c033-43ed-bd21-e975b9431cb2&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuj4l28BuV0&#34; data-new-window=&#34;true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AC Milan 0-1 Juventus, Matchday Three 2014/15&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; On 20 September 2014, San Siro was the host of a clash between two sides with a &lt;strong&gt;100% record&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;strong&gt; Filippo Inzaghi’s&lt;/strong&gt; AC Milan came off the back off of an incredible 5-4 win against Parma, and Juventus under &lt;strong&gt;Allegri&lt;/strong&gt;, were unbeaten after tests against Chievo Verona and Udinese. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; In the first half, which was characterised by constant pressure from the visitors, the first chances fell to Marchisio, with Buffon being forced into a good save from a Honda header. The balance of the game didn’t change in the second half, the bianconeri remained on top and AC Milan were keen to close up the gaps and counter with the pace of El Shaaraway and Menez. The winning combination came from a high class move from &lt;strong&gt;Tevez and Pogba&lt;/strong&gt;: the Argentine found the Frenchman, who provided a magical ball for &lt;strong&gt;Apache&lt;/strong&gt;, who did not miss in front of Abbiati. Juventus gained their third win in the league - their consecutive win streak continued until their sixth game-, Inzaghi lost his first game as the Head Coach of the Diavolo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;figure data-asset-id=&#34;6ca9e1fe-cb81-4aad-9d69-cc65b5cc1a76&#34; data-image-id=&#34;6ca9e1fe-cb81-4aad-9d69-cc65b5cc1a76&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/6be6dbcf-fd70-012d-ec80-2d3245f5ce6a/7a1e7814-d73d-4d9c-a046-5ced31bc26a9/Sito_HERO_tevez.png&#34; data-asset-id=&#34;6ca9e1fe-cb81-4aad-9d69-cc65b5cc1a76&#34; data-image-id=&#34;6ca9e1fe-cb81-4aad-9d69-cc65b5cc1a76&#34; alt=&#34;&#34;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HWL3hBVIcM&#34; data-new-window=&#34;true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Juventus 1-0 AC Milan, Matchday 12 2019/20&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Juventus and AC Milan faced off on 10 November 2019 in the final match before the international break, finding themselves in opposite situations.
