Inter (home)
- Two of the Serie A’s most experienced coaches will face off in what could be a crucial Derby d’Italia in the fight for the 2025/2026 Scudetto and for European qualification on Saturday.
- The Nerazzurri sit on 58 points from 24 games at the top of the pile in Serie A, while Juve are some way off in fourth place on 46 after the same number of matches.
- And it is Inter who come into this game as the more in-form side with five straight wins in all competitions, while Juve’s recent results have been mixed with two wins, two draws and a defeat in their last five.
- Inter’s recent victories include a 2-1 Coppa Italia win over Torino and a 5-0 away mauling of Sassuolo in Serie A, and Chivu has made them a strong fortress.
- The 3-5-2 system Chivu employs is relatively simple, but it’s full of depth as Inter overpower opponents with their direct, vertical style of possession and aggressive triggers to press.
Juventus (away)
- Juventus are much more of a methodical possession-based side with lots of rotation and movement, particularly in the half-spaces, while Spalletti’s men will look to control the pace of the match and work hard for openings.
- Federico Dimarco has been a driving force for the home side with six assists in his last five appearances, but they do have the firepower to make them a constant threat in the final third, and Lautaro Martinez has 14 Serie A goals in 24 matches.
- Juventus’s Kenan Yildiz is their top scorer in Serie A with 8 goals in 23 games, which makes him their key finisher and a man that Spalletti will be hoping can produce a moment of magic.
Head-to-Head
- Inter have won all of their last five matches across all competitions.
- Juventus have won two of their last three Serie A meetings with Inter, drawing the other.
- Inter have the best home record in Serie A 2025/2026 (W9, D1, L2), but Juve have conceded just ten goals in 12 away Serie A fixtures (W6, D2, L4).
