The upcoming Serie A clash between Inter Milan and Juventus promises to be a highly competitive encounter, showcasing two of Italy's most storied football clubs. Both teams have demonstrated strong performances in the league this season, with Inter currently vying for the top spot while Juventus aims to solidify its position among the elite. The match is expected to attract significant viewership, given the historical rivalry and high stakes involved.
The Nerazzurri are high on confidence with their unbeaten run in the Champions League, having won two games out of three. Inter have lost just one of their last 19 home games in the Italian top flight. Simone Inzaghi's side have an upper hand on Juventus, winning two of their last four league meetings with the Old Lady in Milan.
The Bianconeri, on the other hand, produced an under-par performance in the Champions League loss to Stuttgart and, given their struggles to break the deadlock against 10-man Lazio at the weekend, a home win should be considered.
Midfielder Manuel Locatelli is widely expected to return to Juve’s starting lineup after coming on as a substitute in the midwAeek clash, while the likes of Nicolas Gonzalez, Gleison Bremer, Arkadiusz Milik and Teun Koopmeiners remain in the recovery room. As always, Serbia striker Dusan Vlahovic will lead the line for the visiting team. .
Predicted Lineup
Inter Milan predicted lineup (3-5-2):
Sommer (GK); Pavard, de Vrij, Bastoni; Darmian, Barella, Mkhitaryan, Zielinski, Dimarco; Thuram, Martinez
Juventus predicted lineup (4-3-3):
Di Gregorio (GK); Savona, Gatti, Kalulu, Cabal; Thuram-Ulien, Locatelli, Fagioli; Cambiaso, Vlahovic, Yildiz
Marcus Thuram is one footballer who can help decide the match for Inter Milan. Thuram has been a starter in 193 matchups so far in his pro soccer career and scores 0.36 goals per 90 mins. The forward representing France has 67 goals in 16,760 mins played. He has totaled 29 assists while accumulating 24 yellow card cautions during his soccer career.
Juventus stars Dusan Vlahovic, who gives opposing coaches headaches. The forward from Serbia has been on the field for 12,839 minutes while scoring 83 goals. He currently averages 0.58 goals per 90 minutes and has had a starting assignment in 139 contests so far in his pro soccer career. He has totaled 20 yellow card cautions in his pro soccer career and has helped a teammate on a goal 13 times.
Inzaghi’s offensive-minded football contrasts Motta’s safety-first approach. But the Inter manager isn’t a stranger to tactical flexibility when needed. Therefore, another low-scoring stalemate is a distinct possibility.
