Inter take on the visitors Juventus in the round 9 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, October 27th at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro - Milan).
Inter
Inter were undoubtedly the strongest team in Italian football last season. There was no suspense — the Milan club confidently cruised to an early "scudetto." However, that success is now in the past. While Simone Inzaghi remains at the helm, and the squad has been retained and even strengthened with the additions of Josep Martinez and free transfers of Taremi and Zielinski, the spark from last season is missing, and they’ve already stumbled from the first round. These setbacks shouldn’t be overestimated, though losing the derby to Milan is always painful. On the other hand, in the Champions League, Inter kept a clean sheet against Manchester City and demolished Red Star Belgrade. Against Young Boys, one goal was enough for a win. In their last Serie A match, they narrowly edged Roma 1-0.
Juventus
Juventus underwent a radical overhaul this summer. The "Old Lady" showed progress last season, particularly compared to their previous struggles. They rose to 3rd in Serie A and even clinched the Coppa Italia. However, Allegri was controversially dismissed immediately after the final match due to the team’s often lackluster performance in 2024. In Turin, they didn’t stop with appointing Thiago Motta as head coach but also refreshed the roster. This new version of the "Bianconeri" is quite dynamic. In the Champions League, they started with thrilling victories — 3-1 against PSV and 3-2 against Leipzig — yet surprised many with a recent home loss to Stuttgart. In Serie A, they've shown defensive solidity, with new goalkeeper De Gregorio only conceding for the first time in the 7th round, through a penalty in the 88th minute. However, their attack, weakened by Milik’s injury and lacking any new forwards, has faltered at times, resulting in three scoreless draws. Nonetheless, they managed a classic 1-0 win over Lazio.
Verdict
In the last four encounters, Inter has won their home games, while the away games in Turin ended in draws. The odds favor a win for the defending champions. However, this is generally a pragmatic matchup. A bet on total Under 2.5 goals seems fitting.
