How to watch AC Milan vs Juventus wherever you are

If you aren’t sure if you can access BT Sport in your country, then the best way to get around your issues might be a VPN. That’s because access to normal coverage might be geo-blocked – that is, you are prevented from watching outside your home country, usually due to rights reasons.

VPNs encrypt and anonymise your data and enable you to appear as if you are watching from your home country, so they are useful for much more than entertainment.

AC Milan vs Juventus match preview

Juventus are currently in second place in Serie A, but only lag behind first place Inter Milan on goal difference. It’s tight at the top but Juventus’ form has been impressive over the course of the season but turned up some blips of late.

Meanwhile, AC Milan sit in 10th and have struggled to find any sort of consistency. It will be doubly frustrating for the red half of Milan that their cross-town rivals now sit at the top of the league. Could success in the cup be the remedy for their otherwise ailing season?

There are certainly signs of weakness at Juve. Maurizio Sarri’s Juventus lost to Hellas Verona last time out, crashing to a 2-1 away defeat. While that result concerned fans, in the grand scheme of thing’s Juventus have still won six of their last eight fixtures. Their league position is testament to the level of consistency they have achieved so far this season.

However, AC Milan fans will take hope from the fact that that consistency is wavering. Of Juventus’ small amount of losses over the season, two have come in their last four games. But can AC capitalise?

Zlatan Ibrahimovic will likely appear upfront for the Milan side, against his old club, and hopes to make an impression. The giant Swede will present an aerial threat and is known for his finishing and hold up play. He’ll be tough to deal with but Juventus will hope their all-star centre-back pairing, of Bonucci and De Ligt, will be able to keep him under wraps.

Conversely, Milan have shown defensive frailty in recent performances. Last time out they lost the Milan derby 4-2 at the San Siro, despite going in for half time with a 2-0 lead. AC capitulated and that could sound like the ringing of a dinner bell to Juventus’ hungry strike-force. Ronaldo to score first, anyone?
