Juventus vs Inter Milan Predictions

• Juventus are unbeaten in seven league games
• There have been two or fewer goals in seven of the last eight meetings between the pair
• Eight of Juve’s 12 league matches have gone under 2.5 goals

Defence to dominate in title showdown

There is a title showdown on the menu in Serie A on Sunday as league leaders Inter face a stern test of their credentials away at a Juventus side that are steadily closing in at the summit.

Inter currently hold a two-point cushion over Juve at the top after 12 games with both teams having been beaten only once.

Nerazzurri boast a perfect record on their travels, having conceded only once in racking up five successive away victories, but fifth-placed Atalanta are the only top-half side they have faced during that period.

Juventus, meanwhile, are buoyed by a seven-game unbeaten run, keeping six clean sheets and recording five consecutive wins.

So something has to give at the Allianz Stadium, where the Old Lady have dropped only two points in six outings this term.

Juve can stand strong at home

That superiority makes Inter vulnerable favourites at their current price and, despite the obviously attacking quality on show, it is a low-scoring clash that appeals most.

Seven of the last eight meetings between these Italian powerhouses have featured two or fewer goals and that looks another likely scenario.

Not only are the stakes massive, but defensively these two have been the best so far in Italy by some way with Inter being breached only six times in 12 games and Juve conceding only seven over the same distance.

Only four of the hosts’ 12 league matches have gone over 2.5 goals and keeping this title tussle low-scoring would be their best chance of securing victory.

With that in mind, correct-score punters should take a chance on Massimiliano Allegri’s troops grinding out a 1-0 victory.
