The 2016 Coppa Italia final will see AC Milan and Juventus square off at the Olimpico Stadium in Rome, with Juve rated as a 1.60 – 1.65 favorite to win in regular time.
It has been another dreadful season for AC Milan, who finished 7th and will miss out on European football again if they don`t fin this final. Milan did show small improvements compared to the last season, but too little for a club of this stature. What`s more, the Devils ended the season in horrible form, winning just 2 of their last 11 matches. In the final round, last weekend, they lost 1-3 at home to Roma, showing yet again the difference between them and the top Italian teams. New Brocchi has failed to make any kind of positive impact.
Juventus finished 9 points ahead of Napoli in the standings, but even with the title on lock they continued to play well in the closing stages – which really comes to prove their superior quality, character and dominance over the rest of the league. The five time reigning champions are on the back of a 5-0 win over Sampdoria, thier 8th victory in 9 matches.

Team news & lineups:
Antonelli and Ely will not be in Milan’s lineup, while Niang is a doubt. Juventus won`t be able to count on Bonucci, Khedira, Caceres and Marchisio.
AC Milan: Donnarumma – Abate, Alex, Romagnoli, de Sciglio – Honda, Kucka, Montolivo – Bonaventura, Bacca, Luiz Adriano
Juventus: Buffon – Barzagli, Rugani, Chiellini – Lichtsteiner, Pogba, Sturaro, Hernanes, Evra – Mandzukic, Dybala
Milan is some way behind the likes of Roma, Napoli and particularly Juventus. Even their road to the Coppa Italia final has been rather unimpressive, as they did not meet any Top 10 Serie A team and played Alessandria in the semifinals.
I can see Juve ending this season on a high, proving their superiority and dominance in Italian football yet again in this Cup final. It`s worth noting that Juventus won the last 7 meetings against Milan, so that really says it all – even if most of those were 1 goal victories.
The odds aren`t that great for a Cup final, but nevertheless you can not complain that they are not fair. As such, my tip here will be Juventus to win in regular time, with a stake of 8 units on this simple and logical bet. Prediction: AC Milan – Juventus 0-2.
