The first Derby d'Italia of the new Serie A season takes place this weekend as Inter host Juventus at San Siro.
At the moment, the teams are second and third in the table adrift of Napoli in top spot, though all of that could change on Sunday.
Match Preview
Inter Recent Form
After a wobble in the middle of September, Inter have won five games in a row across all competitions recently.
They have beat Udinese, Torino and Roma in Serie A and Crvena Zvezda and Young Boys in the Champions League.
Their two most recent victories have ended 1-0.
Inter Injury News
Hakan Calhanoglu and Francesco Acerbi were both withdrawn against Roma last week and subsequently missed the trip to Young Boys so are doubts for this one.
Carlos Augusto was taken off injured against Young Boys due to a hamstring strain so he is out.
Last Inter Lineup
Here's how Inter lined up against Young Boys.
Juventus Recent Form
Juventus are coming off a disappointing result midweek as they lost 1-0 in the Champions League at home to Stuttgart. It was Thiago Motta's first defeat as boss of the Old Lady.
Prior to that, they drew against Cagliari 1-1 and then defeated Lazio 1-0. They have found the back of the net on just three occasions in three games.
Juventus Injury News
Summer signings Teun Koopmeiners and Nico Gonzalez missed the Stuttgart game with thigh and rib issues respectively as they joined long-term absentees Bremer and Arkadiusz Milik in the physio room. If they are involved here, it probably won't be from the start.
Last Juventus Lineup
Here's how Juventus lined up against Stuttgart.
Inter - Player To Watch
Lautaro Martinez was rested from the starting XI during the week so will be fresh and good to go here. He scored the vital winner against Roma a week ago.
Juventus - Player To Watch
Dusan Vlahovic has been criticised for his performances in Juve's last two games against Stuttgart and Lazio, but prior to that he scored five goals in three games so will be hoping to reclaim that kind of form on Sunday.
Inter vs Juventus - Prediction
Inter and Juve have just one loss between them in the league this season, while no team has drawn more matches than the latter in Serie A in 2024/25. With a vital three points in the line, this one may be a tight affair.
