Ahead of this clash, Juventus have won 100% of their home matches in Serie A this season. They’ve not actually dropped a league point at their own ground since September 2015, which has seen them put together a 27 game winning run in front of their own fans.

Inter have strung some strong results together themselves, having won their last seven Serie A matches. They had won 10 straight games, before their 2-1 loss at home to Lazio in the Coppa Italia earlier this week. Inter will look to put that midweek defeat behind them and continue their impressive league form, with new boss Stefano Pioli overseeing a run of seven consecutive victories.

Despite that setback, the champions have still won 81% of their league matches, which has put them four points clear of Roma with a game in hand. They will be out to strengthen their hopes of title by coming through this huge clash.

Inter’s defence will be tested by a Juve side who average 2.64 goals per game this season. A recent change in approach saw them switch to a 4-2-3-1 set up, in order to play Gonzalo Higuain, Paulo Dybala and Mario Mandzukic in the same side. Since making that adjustment, they’ve scored twice in three consecutive games.

Head to Head

This will be the 168th “Derby d’Italia” in Serie A: Juventus lead by 79 wins to 46 so far (42 draws). Inter have lost 79 games and conceded 241 goals against Juventus in Serie A, more than against any other side.

Inter were the first side able to beat the Bianconeri at the Juventus Stadium: 3-1 win in November 2012 (brace by Diego Milito, goal by Rodrigo Palacio). That was the only victory for the Nerazzurri over their last 10 matches away to Juventus in Serie A (D3, L6).
