A dull draw with few chances was seen at San Siro in the big match between Milan and Juventus valid for the 13th round of Serie A.

The game ended 0-0, with only three shots on target, two of which were from Juventus, easily blocked by Mike Maignan.

The result does not satisfy either team. For Paulo Fonseca’s Milan, this draw means 19 points in the standings (one less game due to the postponement against Bologna), but with the missed opportunity to get closer to the European zone. The Rossoneri remain in seventh place, with the risk of being overtaken by Bologna who could gain points in the next round.

On the other hand, Thiago Motta’s Juventus, despite remaining unbeaten in the league, does not celebrate. Injuries have influenced the team’s tactical choices, with Juventus fielding without natural central forwards. The Bianconeri climb to 25 points, catching up with Fiorentina and Lazio, but still 3 points behind Inter, with hopes of making up ground in the upcoming matches.

A match in which both coaches tried to find balance but failed to break down the opposition’s defense, in a contest that, unfortunately, offered few interesting attacking insights.
