Inter Milan vs Juventus Prediction
Inter Milan are currently 3rd in the league table, and will be keen to bounce back after a disappointing loss to Lazio in Serie A. They have assembled a good squad and should be in and around the title race this season as they seek to retain the Serie A trophy.
Juventus, on the other hand, endured a slow start to their league campaign. Now though, they are slowly catching up, and have won their last four league games and sit 7th in the table. Allegri's men are also gunning for the league title, although they are already 10 points behind league leaders Napoli.
It is hard to separate the two sides, with either team capable of producing a result. Allegri is a wily operator though, and might just prove to be the difference.
Prediction: Inter Milan 1-2 Juventus
