A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Match Preview :
Match of the week in Serie A as Juventus welcomes Inter Milan in what will be a fiery Derby d'Italia between the top two sides in Italy.
Juventus carried on their winning run by beating Bologna 2-1 in midweek, with Paul Pogba scoring the winner deep into injury time after Fabio Quagliarella’s goal was cancelled out to extend their unbeaten run to 49 matches.
However despite scoring the winner, Pogba is expected to return to the bench with Arturo Vidal and Claudio Marchisio returning back in action. A full strength side is expected to take Inter after they rotated against Bologna.
Meanwhile Inter Milan are coming into this match with six consecutive wins in Serie A and eight wins in all competitions.
Inter Milan had to dig deep to come back from a half time deficit to beat Sampdoria in midweek. They were helped by the visitors getting a red card as they ran out 3-2 winners. That win was good enough to propelled them into second spot and leapfrog Napoli.
Andrea Stramaccioni is only concerned of how he can reduce the gap at the top which currently stands at four points rather then talk about his side's chances of winning this match.
It should be noted here that Inter Milan have not won in Turin going back to 2004-2005 season. Juventus have won 56 times here, they have drawn 15 times and Inter managed only 10 wins here.
Last season Juventus managed a 2-0 win here with goals from Martin Caceres and Alessandro Del Piero.
