(VIDEO) Szczesny's spectacular reaction against Giroud to save Juventus vs AC Milan

One of the most interesting matches this weekend is the one between AC Milan and Juventus this Sunday at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium. The hosts started matchday 9 of Serie A as the only leaders of the standings, but lost that place due to Inter's 3-0 win over Torino on Saturday. That's why they need a win to regain that place.

And the visitors are close to the top spots as well. So far they are in third place along with Napoli and Fiorentina with 17 points, 4 less than AC Milan and 5 less than Inter. For this reason they will also be looking for a win, as it will allow them to reduce the lead with the teams from the city of Milan.

In the first minutes of the match the strategies of each team were clear. The hosts have shown more offensive ambition, trying to control the ball and play in the opponent's field. While the visitors bet on building a solid defensive block to counteract the virtues of their rivals. And when they recover the ball, they try to counterattack taking advantage of the speed of their forwards.

In this scenario, AC Milan had the most dangerous chance to score. After 13 minutes, Rafael Leao received the ball in his team's half and ran several yards with it until he approached the box. Once there, he dribbled past Frederico Gatti and sent a cross that Olivier Giroud received inside the box. The French striker controlled the ball and shot with his left foot, but goalkeeper Szczesny saved it with a great reaction.

Inter celebrate for now

Should this 0-0 draw between AC Milan and Juventus continue, the main beneficiaries will be Inter. Simone Inzaghi's team got an important victory against Torino 3-0 and that allowed them to become the new leaders of the standings. But AC Milan can regain that place if they win this Sunday.
