On Saturday at Allianz Stadium in Turin, Juventus will host Inter Milan in a key match of Serie A’s third round. Here’s an insight into how this game might turn out.
Match Preview
Juventus, under coach Igor Tudor, has had a strong start to the season with two wins and no goals conceded. The team focuses on getting results rather than being flashy—remarkably, in 16 of their last 17 matches, they have scored no more than two goals.
At home, Juventus is particularly tough to beat, winning 9 of their last 10 games at Allianz Stadium, often keeping clean sheets. However, they face some challenges before this match—Cambiaso is suspended, Conceição’s status is uncertain, and Cabal is out due to injury.
Inter Milan started the season well but faced a surprising defeat at home to Udinese, indicating inconsistency. Still, they are the top-scoring team in Serie A with six goals in three matches.
Inter’s away performance raises concerns, with only three wins in their last nine league games on the road. Most of those wins came against lower-ranked teams, and they have only one victory in their last 12 visits to Juventus in Turin.
Probable Lineups
- Juventus: Di Gregorio, Kalulu, Bremer, Gatti, Joao Mario, Locatelli, Thuram, Kelly, Conceição, David, Yıldız
- Inter: Sommer, Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni, Dumfries, Sučić, Barella, Calhanoglu, Dimarco, Lautaro, Thuram
Match Facts and Head-to-Head
- Juventus has won 9 of their last 10 home matches in Serie A.
- Inter has won just 1 of their last 12 away league games against Juventus.
- In 7 of Juventus’ last 8 home games, at least one team did not score.
Prediction
With Juventus in good form and strong defensively, especially at home, they appear more likely to win. Inter’s struggles away from home against top teams may work against them.
