Match Highlights: [ If you missed the live action of 2016 final between Milan vs Juventus you can always tune in here for extended match highlights available immediately after the game is over ]

Milan and Juventus has meet twice in the league this season and on both occasions Juventus came out triumph albeit narrowly. A 1-0 win back in November in turin and a 2-1 win at San Siro were the key moments in Juventus retaining Italian Serie A title. Milan who finished outside the European places can qualify for Europa League with a win over Juventus in the final.

Team News & Lineups: Its a massive game in Italian football between the two usual heavyweights. The last time these two contested a Coppa Italia final was back in 1990 when Juventus won the cup with a narrow 1-0 win. Milan has not won this competition since 2003 and they will be desperate to finish off their season on a high to upset the odds and beat Juventus who just won their fifth consecutive league title.

AC Milan might without first choice full backs as both Luca Antonelli and Ignazio Abatet are doubtful while Juventus are likely to be without Leonardo Bonucci (Suspended) and Sami Khedira who is injured. This is how I expect both teams to lineup on Saturday night.

Predictions: AC Milan has lost all four recent meeting between the two and this Juventus side is head and shoulders above the rest Italian competition. Chasing their second consecutive league/cup double I expect Juventus to steam role Milan in the final.

Recent Matches: Juventus took on AC Milan on Saturday in the Italian Serie A game it turned out to be a classic italian style football match. AC Milan took the lead in just 18th minute when Alex scored the opening goal for the home side at San Siro but the lead was short lived as Juventus found their way back into the game when Mario Mandzukic scored in 27th minute to get the teams back on level terms. Juventus played the better overall and created more chances but Milan hanged in there for most part. Paul Pogba got the winner in second half to win the game for Juventus.

Paul Pogab was immense in second half for Juventus and he finally got Juventus in the lead when he control a hopeful ball at the far post with his chest and slotted home with a neat volley to put Juventus 2-1 up and win all three points for turin club. See More
