Inter Milan are set to play Juventus at San Siro on Sunday for their next Serie A fixture.

Goals from experienced striker Edin Dzeko, Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal and Dutch centre-back Stefan de Vrij ensured victory for Simone Inzaghi's Inter Milan. Luxembourg international Sebastien Thill scored the consolation goal for Sheriff.

Juventus, on the other hand, beat Sergei Semak's Zenit Saint Petersburg 1-0 in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. A late second-half goal from Swedish winger Dejan Kulusevski sealed the deal for Massimiliano Allegri's Juventus.

The two clubs last faced each other earlier this year in Serie A, with Juventus beating Inter Milan 3-2.

An penalty from Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku and an own goal from veteran centre-back Giorgio Chiellini proved to be a mere consolation for Inter Milan, who had Croatian midfielder Marcelo Brozovic sent off late in the second-half.

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
