Inter enjoyed a great run of form post-World Cup but have struggled to impress over the last couple of weeks. Simone Inzaghi’s men have lost four of their last five competitive matches losing in back-to-back games against Fiorentina and today’s opponents Juventus. With wins over Parma and Atalanta in the cup, Inter will be hoping to put their league form behind them as they seek to avoid losing three games in a row.
Head-to-head
The Derby d’Italia has been arguably one of the most fiercely contested football games across the globe. The last five meetings between Juventus and Inter Milan have seen two wins for Juve and three wins for Inter. However, both sides have met twice in the Serie A this season with the side from Turin winning both encounters.
Prediction
Juventus are in better form coming into today’s match compared to their opponents from Milano. With five wins on the bounce and no notable absentees, Juventus have what it takes to secure the win in today’s game. Inter on the other hand have proven over the last few years how disciplined and motivated they can be when it matters the most. Goals should be expected in today’s match with a draw as the most likely outcome.
