Two matches. Two wins each. Now somebody's perfect start is under threat.

Juventus and AC Milan meet in Turin on Sunday night with maximum points, early Scudetto ambitions and a rivalry stretching across generations of Italian football. Luciano Spalletti's Juventus haven't even conceded yet. Ruben Amorim's Milan arrive with six points of their own and every reason to believe they can leave Turin with more. It's only Matchday 3. It already feels much bigger. Serie A titles aren't won in September. But matches like this can shape the conversation around who might eventually win one.

Both Juventus and Milan have collected six points from six, placing them among the early leaders and giving Sunday's meeting immediate significance. For Juventus, this is an opportunity to turn an impressive start into a statement. Two victories and consecutive clean sheets suggest Spalletti has quickly established the defensive structure required to compete at the top. Beating Milan would provide the strongest evidence yet that the Bianconeri are serious Scudetto contenders.

Milan can make exactly the same argument. Amorim's side have also opened with maximum points and now face their first major examination of the campaign. Winning at the Allianz Stadium would send a simple message to the rest of Serie A. Milan are ready too.

Form, Trends, Key Facts, Stats & Team News

Juventus have started with defensive authority. Back-to-back clean sheets represent an ideal foundation for Spalletti, particularly while his attacking and midfield options are being disrupted by injuries. That defensive record will be tested here. Milan possess enough creativity and attacking quality thanks to Gonzalo Ramos to punish even small mistakes, meaning Juventus cannot rely exclusively on organisation. At some stage, the hosts will need to take risks of their own.

The problem is personnel. Kenan Yıldız is the biggest absentee after undergoing foot surgery, with his recovery expected to keep him sidelined for approximately two to three months. His absence removes one of Juventus' most unpredictable attacking players. Andrea Cambiaso is also expected to miss the match with an ankle problem, while Khéphren Thuram, Weston McKennie, Edon Zhegrova and Jeff Ekhator have all dealt with muscle or fitness concerns. That leaves Spalletti with important decisions. Does he maintain the cautious structure that has delivered two clean sheets? Or does he accept greater risk at home against a direct rival?

AC Milan arrive with fewer major selection problems. Amorim has already established a competitive structure and, unlike his opposite number, appears to have greater flexibility when selecting his midfield and attacking combinations. There are still defensive fitness questions to monitor, including Matteo Gabbia, but Milan's overall squad situation looks healthier. That could matter as the match progresses.

Juventus should have the energy of the Allianz Stadium behind them, but Milan may possess more options to change the game from the bench if it remains level entering the final half-hour. Recent history also points towards patience. Meetings between these two Italian giants have regularly become tactical battles, with space limited and neither side willing to offer the opposition easy transitions.

The opening goal could therefore completely transform the contest. If Juventus score first, their early defensive form suggests Milan could face an extremely difficult evening. If Milan strike first, Spalletti may have to abandon some of that caution. Until then, expect every metre of midfield territory to be contested.
