Inter hosts Juventus in round 18 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, January 17th at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan)
The Milan grandee takes second place in the standings. Conte's charges are three points behind their neighbors from AC Milan. Inter is the most productive team in the championship (43 goals scored). The defense of the Black-Blues can hardly be called a sample (23 conceded goals), which is strange for Conte's team. This season, the club has failed in the Champions League (the last place in the group), which called into question the feasibility of cooperation with the current coaching staff. Conte got a second chance thanks to a good position in the championship. An experienced mentor has a powerful team with good performers. The leaders of the Milanese grandee (Lukaku, Handanovic, Brozovic, Barella, Bastoni, Martinez, and Hakimi) are in excellent shape.

For nine years in a row, the Turin club has won the champion’s title in the local arena. Andrea Pirlo is trying to give his players a game that will allow them to win it for the tenth time. For now, Juventus is far from this goal. The team occupies fourth place in the standings, lagging seven points behind the leader. The Zebras successfully went through the group stage in the Champions League, finishing first in the quartet. Pirlo is actively building a new Juventus and trying to arrange a generational change. Under his leadership, the team began to play fundamentally new football. The tactical actions of the Zebras are more reminiscent of the Italian national team during the coaching of Marcelo Lippi (triangles, hard pressure in the midfield). Young talents are actively involved in the starting lineup, namely, de Ligt, McKennie, Kulusevski, Chiesa, and Bentancourt.
Inter has no right to lose points because the leading Milan has already broken away by three points. The situation is similar for Juventus, but its gap to competitors is much bigger. Pirlo's charges gained good shape and managed to defeat the leader of the tournament standings in a head-to-head match (3:1). The last confrontations between these two clubs were characterized by pragmatism and low performance indicators. There is a feeling that the upcoming game will not please the fans with a large number of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 goals scored
