Inter Milan vs Juventus: Preview
In recent seasons, Inter has outperformed Juventus, winning two Serie A titles and beating the Bianconeri in both the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa since Juventus’ reign of success ended in 2021. Inter heads into the match on the back of a dramatic last-minute victory over Young Boys in the Champions League. This result, along with a solid start in their group stage campaign—including a draw against Manchester City and a dominant 4-0 win over Red Star Belgrade—puts them in a favorable position to progress to the quarterfinals.
Heading into Sunday’s showdown, Inter can take confidence from their recent record against Juventus at San Siro, winning two of their last four league meetings—an improvement after managing just two wins in the previous 11 encounters at home.
Inter Milan vs Juventus: Team News
Inter Milan
After coming off the bench to help secure Inter’s late winner in Switzerland, Federico Dimarco, Lautaro Martinez, and Marcus Thuram are expected to return to the starting lineup on Sunday, alongside Alessandro Bastoni. However, Inter faces some challenges. Dimarco’s backup, Carlos Augusto, suffered a muscle strain in midweek, joining Hakan Calhanoglu and veteran Center Back Francesco Acerbi on the sidelines. On the brighter side, midfielders Kristjan Asllani and Piotr Zielinski have recovered from their injuries and are likely to be included on the bench.
Juventus
For Juventus, Douglas Luiz might be unavailable after pulling out of the warm-up against Stuttgart due to a thigh problem. Summer signings Teun Koopmeiners (rib) and Nico Gonzalez (thigh) also remain sidelined. Michele Di Gregorio returns as the first-choice goalkeeper after serving his UEFA suspension, while the attacking trio is expected to remain unchanged. Turkish teenager Kenan Yildiz and on-loan winger Francisco Conceicao are set to support Dusan Vlahovic up front.
Both Vlahovic and Thuram lead the Serie A goal charts for 2024, with 15 and 13 goals, respectively. However, Vlahovic has yet to score in his seven league appearances at San Siro. Adding an interesting family dynamic, Marcus’s brother, Khephren Thuram, plays for Juventus.
Inter Milan vs Juventus: Prediction
The match is going to be a great watch as both Inter and Juventus are stacked with high-quality players. Those three points are very important, and both teams will do their best to secure them. Inter Milan has an edge to win the fixture by a very close margin. However, Juventus won’t stay quiet and will be lethal enough on counterattacks, as they have been in the past few matches.
