Inter Milan’s title defence continues this Sunday when they welcome Juventus to San Siro. Heading into the game, the two had contrasting outcomes in the Champions League. They will be putting their all in this domestic assignment and below we will offer a prediction.
Inter return at home after two consecutive away matches, which they won. The latest of them was in Switzerland where they beat Young Boys 1-0. They had, in their last Serie A match, beaten AS Roma by the same margin.
The Italian champions have five straight wins across all competitions.
Juventus have been on and off but in recent times they got a few reality checks. The most recent one was in their 1-0 loss against Stuttgart in the Champions League.
What seemed like an imminent draw turned around for Juventus who had Danilo sent off. They would then concede in the 90th minute. While they have taken pride in their defensive solidity, recent times have shown Juventus need to put in a better effort in attack.
Four times in their last nine matches, they failed to score. They will further be pulled down by their record against Inter. In the last four meetings between them, Juventus failed to win any.
Inter Milan have the upper hand here and not just because they will be playing at home. The hosts have done well in their recent matches, winning each of the last five that came after losing in the Milan Derby.
Furthermore, Inter have three straight wins at home and haven't lost to Juventus in the last four meetings. Juventus will be hoping to rise from their shock defeat to Stuttgart in the Champions League. Our prediction for Inter Milan v Juventus is for Inter Milan to win.
