“The game at Inter is important, but not decisive,” said Juve defender Giorgio Chiellini in the run-up to the encounter. And he’s definitely right about that. But especially from the old lady’s point of view, the game shouldn’t be lost. The current champions would then have seven points less than Inter (with one game less on the account). That would be quite a backlog at this stage of the season. But let’s take a closer look at both teams.

Form: Juve gets rolling

Inter are extremely strong at home and have recently won the league five times in a row at their own stadium. In the new year, the Nerazzurri played four competitive games, winning two of them (one during the week after extra time against Florence in the cup round of 16). Added to this is the 1: 2 defeat in the league at Sampdoria Genoa and the draw (2: 2) last weekend at Roma. Juventus started the new year really well. The reigning champions won all four competitive games and scored 13 goals. Andrea Pirlo’s team caught the attention of Andrea Pirlo’s team, especially with a 3-1 win against the previously undefeated leaders Milan.

The balance: Old lady clearly ahead

Both teams met 174 times in total in Serie A. Juventus won 84 times, Inter won 46 times and the points were shared 44 times. However, if you look at the balance sheet at home, things look much better for Antonio Conte’s team. Both teams met 88 times at the Giuseppe Meazza, Inter won 35 times, the Bianconeri “only” 25 times. There were also 28 ties.

Best offense against best defense

It is definitely a top-level duel, as can be seen from a look at the figures in the table. Inter have the best attack in the league with 43 goals, Juventus the best defense with only 16 goals. So it will also be exciting to see who can put themselves in the limelight in this regard.

Duel between the two top scorers

Last but not least, in this encounter, of course, you have to look at the two goal scorers. Because with Romelu Lukaku and Cristiano Ronaldo, the two best goal getters in the league meet. The Belgian in the shirt of Inter scored twelve goals in 16 games. In the last two meetings, however, he remained without a hit. This season, Ronaldo once again proves his goal risk and scored 15 times in 13 appearances. This year he has already scored three goals in three league appearances.
