Juventus hosting Inter Milan will be one of the highlight matches in the Serie A this weekend. The two sides are separated by 11 points in the league standings, Juventus fifth and Inter second. Below is our prediction of the match.
Juventus have turned on the style in February, and are coming here on three straight wins. Their latest came in midweek as they hosted PSV in a Champions League encounter.
Samuel Mbangula’s late goal secured a 2-1 first leg home win. They will hope to warm up for the return leg with a second straight home win.
Inter Milan will have the benefit of more hours of rest, having played a day earlier than Juventus. Like their hosts, Inter also needed a second half goal to secure a win.
Theirs was in a rescheduled league match, beating Fiorentina 1-0. It was a sweet revenge for Inter, who had in the earlier match lost 3-0 to Fiorentina. Marko Arnautovic scored the winner and Inter will come here confident of shocking the Old Lady.
While three points will be key here, Inter have struggled on the road, picking just one from a possible six in the last two games. They are unbeaten in five against Juventus but three of the matches ended in draws.
Inter Milan have been shaky in their recent matches, only managing one win in their last three league outings. After taking on Milan and Fiorentina, they are going into another top clash in Serie A. Juventus, who host this match, have been picking up well in recent times.
Facing a formidable side in Inter, however, means they have to be at their best to keep their momentum. Most recent meetings between these two sides were drawn and we could be staring at the same result. Our prediction for Juventus v Inter Milan is for the match to end in a draw.
