(Reuters) - AC Milan joined rivals Inter Milan at the top of Serie A in midweek, but Juventus are favourites to win this season's Scudetto, according to Milan manager Stefano Pioli.

After their embarrassing 5-1 defeat in the derby, Milan's 3-1 win at Cagliari on Wednesday combined with Inter's first loss of the season, 2-1 at home to Sassuolo, sees the two rival clubs level on 15 points at the Serie A summit.
