The Serie A spotlight shines on Sunday evening as Juventus and Inter Milan clash in the Derby d'Italia, marking their 181st league encounter. With Juventus trailing Inter by just two points in the standings, a win in Turin would propel them past their rivals and back to the top position after trailing behind Inter for a while.
Resuming their November fixtures with an important match, Juventus enters this game following five consecutive wins before the international break, making their pursuit of the top spot in Serie A highly achievable.
Max Allegri's squad has positioned themselves as strong contenders for the title, securing victories against Torino, Milan, Verona, and Fiorentina, followed by a 2-1 win against Cagliari a fortnight ago. This victory, featuring goals from defenders Daniele Rugani and Bremer, marked a successful outing against Allegri's former club.
Their remarkable start to the season, not seen since their last title win in 2019-20, sets the stage for an unprecedented clash in Derby d'Italia history. This upcoming encounter will witness both Juventus and Inter facing off with at least 29 points each before matchday 14. Recent difficulties faced by Napoli and Milan hint at a potential two-way battle for the title.
Despite Inter claiming championships and trophies since Juventus last held the top spot, Juventus has maintained dominance in five of their last eight league encounters against Inter. They emerged victorious in both meetings last season, notably keeping clean sheets on both occasions. Achieving three consecutive wins over Inter without conceding for the first time since 1977 could be within reach this weekend.
Juventus' solid defensive performance, facilitated by Allegri's focused training routines due to their exclusion from UEFA competitions, fuels their belief in extending this streak. However, Inter, currently leading the table, is determined not to yield an inch in this high-stakes clash.
Inter have been dominant in the league this season, winning 10 out of 12 matches, with their only surprising loss to Sassuolo. Throughout their Serie A history, they've achieved such a strong start only twice before, in 1950 and 2019.
Driven by captain Lautaro Martinez's goals, Inter has won six consecutive games across all competitions, including a recent 2-1 victory against Frosinone, where Federico Dimarco and Hakan Calhanoglu stood out.
Their victories against Atalanta BC and Red Bull Salzburg secured their place in the Champions League's last 16, giving coach Simone Inzaghi's team high spirits as they headed for the international break.
Securing a top-two spot in Group D allows Inzaghi to focus on the upcoming Derby d'Italia, without splitting attention with the Champions League clash against Benfica next week.
As the leading scorers in Serie A, Inter aims for more success this season after their Coppa Italia win and a close miss in Europe last year. However, Juventus is determined to challenge their momentum in the upcoming fixture.
Inter historically struggles away against Juventus, winning only twice in their last 17 league encounters and failing to score in nine. The clash at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday poses a significant challenge for Inter.
Juventus' coach Max Allegri faces midfield issues due to suspensions and injuries, with Adrien Rabiot's return offering some relief. Filip Kostic and the midfield trio might pose threats for Juventus, while defensive absences persist for both teams.
Key players like Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram lead the attack for Inter, with Martinez seeking to join a select group if he scores against Juventus. However, his past scoring record against Juventus in Serie A remains limited.
The potential return of Juan Cuadrado could bolster Inter's options from the bench, as coach Simone Inzaghi holds a 4-2 lead against Allegri in their head-to-head Derby d'Italia encounters.
