Inter Milan Preview – Will the champions respond after the disappointment of last week?
As homecomings go it was as bad as it possibly could have been for Simone Inzaghi last week. His former club Lazio inflicted not only his first league defeat as boss of Inter, but in a fashion which suggested there will be more disappointments along the road for the current champions. A 3-1 loss despite taking the lead and holding it until the last 25 minutes comes on the back of a series of underwhelming performances – domestically and in Europe.
The loss leaves Inter seven points behind leaders Napoli and sitting in third place. Whilst it’s not insurmountable you do feel this is a big test of Inzaghi’s men as they take on the biggest club in Italy and one who are beginning to motor.
Inter did bounce back to winning ways in midweek when getting their first victory in the Champions League. A 3-1 win over Sheriff keeps them in contention for qualifying for then next phase. It was also an opportunity to get Lautaro Martinez back into the starting line-up, he will start this one having came off the bench in the defeat in Rome.
Another obstacle for Inter to overcome in this game is their record against Juve, particularly at home. They have won only two of their last 11 games against this opponent at the San Siro.
Juventus Preview – Can Allegri and his Juve team continue their excellent winning run with their biggest scalp yet?
To say Juventus’ start to their league campaign was poor is more than an understatement. No wins and just two points from their first four games left them with a huge task of winning the title and had some doubting whether bringing Max Allegri back to the club was the right decision. Fast forward to now and the old lady of Turin are beginning to put together an impressive run of form.
The 1-0 win at home to Rome last weekend sees them come into this game looking for a fifth straight win in Serie A, a seventh in all competitions and the chance to stretch their unbeaten run to nine games.

Whilst that is also very encouraging they still remain 10 points behind the leaders, although they won’t be overly concerned with that due to how much football there is left to play. What will be of concern for the teams above them is the clean sheets that Juve are keeping. It’s four straight 1-0 victories with the the last goal they conceded coming at the end of September.
The goals are also been shared round the team following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. They are unlikely to have somebody who reaches 20 goals in the league so contributions from Alvaro Morato, Paulo Dybala, Moise Kean and Federico Chiesa are all going to be needed.
Inter Milan vs Juventus Betting Advice
These games always tend to have something on them and this one absolutely does. Inter have to bounce back and show they are capable of winning the big games in the post-Conte and Lukaku era. For Juventus it’s all about continuing this good winning run but taking the victory against a big rival.
The visitors have won on five of their last 11 visits here but did lose the corresponding fixture 2-0 last season.
