Analysis:

Match of the week in Serie A as Juventus welcomes the visit of Inter Milan for the highligh match of the week.

Last season it ended in a 1-1 draw. In Serie A Inter’s last win in this city was sealed by a lone Julio Cruz strike on April 20, 2005, but the last two trips have ended 1-1.

Juventus will not want a draw as they are trailing Inter by some eight points now. Last weekend they dropped to third after Milan moved to second spot. They were beaten 2-0 by Cagliari and now must work extra hard to return to the title chase. Giorgio Chiellini fractured his nose yet again in that tie, but will be able to play with a protective mask on. David Trezeguet and Vincenzo Iaquinta will not recover in time to feature.

Christian Poulsen and Momo Sissoko will start instead of Felipe Melo as he is not 100% fit. Ciro Ferrara could adopt a diamond midfield formation with the crisis of players he has. Diego will provide support to Amauri and Alessandro Del Piero.

Inter on the other hand will know if Douglas Maicon's appeal against his ban has been overtuned by Friday. If the Brazilian is not given a chance, then Javier Zanetti should again take the right-back role, as Davide Santon is also injured.

Wesley Sneijder is still out due to his knee injury. Dejan Stankovic who almost joined Juventus will provide support to Samuel Eto’o and Diego Milito. Ricardo Quaresma had a rare start in last week’s 1-0 victory over Fiorentina and impressed, but he is lacking match fitness.

Go for this match to end in a draw.

Cheers and good luck,
Cruiser
