Juventus vs Inter Milan: Preview and Prediction Italian football comes to a standstill on Saturday evening as the Derby d’Italia takes centre stage at the Allianz Stadium, with Juventus hosting Inter Milan in one of the most storied fixtures in Serie A history. Both sides enter the clash with ambitions of reclaiming the Scudetto from Napoli, although they arrive in contrasting moods. Juventus have started the campaign perfectly, collecting maximum points from their opening fixtures, while Inter faltered just before the international break and already find themselves chasing. Juventus have shown early signs of momentum under Igor Tudor, who begins his first full season at the helm. Wins over Parma Calcio and Genoa have given the Bianconeri a flawless start, easing concerns after last season’s off-field turmoil. Tudor, who steadied the ship after replacing Thiago Motta late last term, now has his sights set on loftier goals, with a genuine push for the Scudetto not out of the question. History also favours the Old Lady in this rivalry, particularly at home. Juventus have lost just one of their last 11 league meetings with Inter in Turin, and last season’s dramatic encounters only added spice to the narrative. The October 2024 clash at San Siro produced a stunning 4-4 draw, with Kenan Yildiz scoring twice late on, while Francisco Conceicao struck the winner in February’s reverse fixture. ............ Team News & Tactics Juventus Juventus face a few selection dilemmas heading into the Derby d’Italia. In attack, Jonathan David has started brightly for both club and country, putting pressure on Igor Tudor to keep him in the lineup. Meanwhile, Dusan Vlahovic, despite ongoing uncertainty around his contract situation, has made an impact from the bench with goals against both Parma and Genoa. ] Summer arrival Lois Openda is another option to lead the line, giving the Bianconeri enviable depth in forward areas. On the downside, winger Francisco Conceicao is a major doubt after withdrawing from international duty with Portugal due to a muscular injury, and midfielder Fabio Miretti remains sidelined with a thigh problem. Suspension also plays a role in Tudor’s plans. Andrea Cambiaso will serve the second match of a two-game ban following his red card for violent conduct on the opening day. His absence leaves the wing-back slots up for grabs, with Joao Mario and Filip Kostic likely contenders, alongside the versatile duo of Pierre Kalulu and Weston McKennie. Juventus are expected to line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation. Michele Di Gregorio will start in goal, shielded by a three-man defence of Federico Gatti, Bremer, and Lloyd Kelly. Out wide, Pierre Kalulu is set to operate as the right wing-back, while João Mário takes the opposite flank on the left. In midfield, Khephren Thuram will provide dynamism alongside Manuel Locatelli, who anchors the side with his control and distribution. Just behind the striker, Teun Koopmeiners and rising star Kenan Yildiz are expected to operate as dual attacking midfielders, supporting Jonathan David, who should spearhead the Juventus attack against Inter Milan. Probable Lineup (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Gatti, Bremer, Kelly; Kalulu, Thuram, Locatelli, Mario; Koopmeiners, Yildiz; David Inter Milan ............ Probable Lineup (3-5-2): Sommer; Akanji, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Sucic, Dimarco; Thuram, Martinez Key Stats Juventus have defeated Inter Milan 88 times, more than any other club in Serie A history, highlighting their long-standing supremacy in this fixture. Three of the last four league meetings between Juventus and Inter Milan in the first half of the season have ended in draws, showing how closely contested early-season clashes tend to be. Inter Milan have failed to win in 11 of their last 12 league visits to the Allianz Stadium against Juventus (W1 D3 L8). Their only victory came in April 2022 via a Hakan Calhanoglu penalty. This is only the third time in history Juventus and Inter will face each other within the opening three matchdays of a Serie A campaign. The previous instances were in 1939 (Inter won 4-0) and 2013 (a 1-1 draw). Juventus have started the 2025-26 season with back-to-back clean sheets, and could register three straight shutouts in their first three league games for the first time in their history. ............ Prediction Juventus 2-1 Inter Milan Juventus’s home record against Inter Milan and their sharp early-season form make them slight favourites, though Inter’s attacking firepower ensures this will not be straightforward. Expect a tightly contested battle where the Bianconeri’s defensive organisation could make the difference. The Hard Tackle predicts a 2-1 win for Igor Tudor and his charges. .

Official: Confirmed Juventus squad for Derby d’Italia against Inter Igor Tudor has named a squad of 20 players for the Derby d’Italia between Juventus and Inter this evening, which could bring a starting opportunity for centre-forward Dusan Vlahovic according to various reports on Saturday morning. ............ Andrea Cambiaso is suspended and is expected to be replaced in the starting line-up by either Weston McKennie, Joao Mario or Filiip Kostic. There is one more option at full-back this week, as Juan Cabal has been included in the squad for the first time since rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) last November. ............ Francisco Conceicao was forced to withdraw from the Portugal national team squad through injury earlier this week, and has not been included in the matchday squad to face Inter. Teun Koopmeiners is in line to replace the former Porto winger. ............ Goalkeepers: Di Gregorio, Perin, Pinsoglio. Defenders: Bremer, Gatti, Kelly, Kalulu, Rugani, J.Mario, Cabal. Midfielders: Locatelli, Koopmeiners, Adzic, Kostic, Thuram, McKennie. Forwards: Vlahovic, Yildiz, Openda, David. .

Tudor won’t change Juventus’ system vs. Inter: ‘Special opponents’ Igor Tudor says he won’t change the Juventus system for a big game against Inter, ‘a team that in recent years has been the best in Italy.’ Tudor previewed the upcoming Derby d’Italia at a pre-match press conference on Friday. ............ “Somebody needs to rest, somebody needs to work and so on. I’ve got good and positive feelings, we’ve had two training sessions together, and we have another one tomorrow morning. I feel good, positive, and I’ve missed football. “There are special opponents, and the motivation increases. From a preparation standpoint, it’s easier for a coach to keep the tension high. Over the course of the season, keeping that motivation always makes the difference. Tomorrow is a beautiful match to play between two strong teams. I hope people come and enjoy it. Especially our fans.” ............ “So far, we’ve played with one striker and two attacking midfielders. There’s work behind that, and now it’s definitely my job to make the most of the squad and the qualities I have, also to play in different ways. It takes time. For now, this system has worked well, and we’ll go forward like this. We’ll see with time. Openda needs space, and David can play behind a second striker, which is good because they have different characteristics. Dusan can do both.” ............ Openda and Zhegrova joined Juventus on deadline day, but only Openda will be available against Inter. Tudor has been using a 3-4-2-1 system since he was appointed as the new Bianconeri coach in March and is not planning to change the system. ............ “I’ve always been happy. I was before and I am now. Two players have arrived to help us. Openda right away, Edon not immediately because he’s coming off a long period without playing. Now he needs to regain fitness, build strength, legs and lungs. He won’t be called up for the next two games; then, from Verona, we’ll gradually bring him into the squad. “Openda needs space in front of him, and that’s his strength. He can play on the left or right wing.” Teun Koopmeiners is likely to start as an attacking midfielder, given that Tudor will only play with one centre forward. “I don’t understand the fixation on this guy. Let’s leave him in peace. He’s working well, he’s trying, he cares. He’s played two good matches. I can only repeat what I’ve always said about him. But then we always circle back to the same thing, he has quality and will do well.” ............ . Read more -> https://football-italia.net/tudor-not-change-juventus-system-inter-special/

Aldo Serena highlights the difference between Tudor and Motta A year ago, Thiago Motta was appointed manager of Juventus, joining from Bologna with an impressive reputation for the style of football he had developed there. Although he had not yet lifted managerial trophies, his Bologna side played a highly regarded brand of the game that convinced Juventus to entrust him with the task of reshaping their squad. ............ As the season wore on, however, Motta’s side faltered. Performances became inconsistent, results dipped, and the clarity of his tactical ideas began to blur. Ultimately, the club chose to part ways with him during the March international break, replacing him with Igor Tudor. Since then, Juventus has shown signs of recovery, with players and fans alike regaining confidence. ............ The distinction between the two managers has been a subject of discussion. Aldo Serena noted, “He seems like a basic coach to me. He doesn’t pursue complex playing ideas. Unlike Thiago Motta, he places players in their roles without inventing bizarre alternatives. Then, coaches aside, it’s crucial for Juventus to have Bremer fully recovered. He’s a one-man show. He’s an indispensable leader in making the defence impenetrable. A great asset.” Serena’s remarks highlight how Tudor’s pragmatic approach contrasts with Motta’s tendency toward tactical experimentation. ............ .

Francesco Toldo explains what Igor Tudor focuses on Juventus has shown noticeable improvement since Igor Tudor assumed managerial responsibilities in March, taking over from Thiago Motta, who had struggled to maintain control of the squad. Although Tudor was not initially the first-choice candidate, his appointment was intended as a stabilising measure to guide the team towards securing a top-four finish before stepping aside. ............ The early signs this season have been promising. Juventus began the campaign strongly with two victories from their opening two matches. This positive start has generated momentum, yet their most formidable challenge awaits with an encounter against Inter Milan. The upcoming fixture is widely anticipated to be a defining test of their progress, not only because of the historic rivalry but also because of what is at stake. ............ Tudor’s approach has not gone unnoticed by figures within Italian football. Francesco Toldo, in particular, has expressed admiration for the direction the manager is taking. Toldo drew a comparison between Tudor and Cristian Chivu, noting, “Tudor? A choice made to give the team personality; he focuses heavily on consistency.” This endorsement underscores the impact Tudor is already having on the team’s mentality and style. By instilling greater consistency and emphasising personality within the squad, he has provided the Bianconeri with a renewed sense of purpose. ............ .

Mi auguro che non ci vada nessuno dall'Italia per fargliela passare la voglia ai mascalzoni che dicono che il calcio é del popolo ...... ricco. Anche se temo che qualche pecorone danaroso si fará la trasferta.

“These are lies” – Comolli rubbishes controversy around Tottenham transfer Randal Kolo Muani joined Tottenham on loan from Paris Saint-Germain on deadline day and there’s no shortage of theories about why Juventus didn’t sign him after months of trying to. ............ The Italian press are convinced that Juventus simply refused the move on favourable terms late in the window, landing Lois Openda instead. In France, they believe that PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi criticised Juve after Kolo Muani joined Tottenham, making it clear that they have been difficult to deal with. Old Lady managing director Damien Comolli spoke to reporters at a press conference on Thursday. He denied claims from France about Al-Khelaifi’s anger. “I’ve read articles about discussions with the PSG president, but it’s false. We didn’t speak, these are lies. Don’t take what you read for granted.” Comolli also made it clear that Juve are happy with how they operated in the transfer window, even if they missed out on the 26-year-old. “We finished the transfer window feeling stronger. Then Bremer and Cabal returned, Dusan remained, and he proved his worth in the last few matches. We believe the team can be competitive.” ............ .

Preview: Juventus vs Inter Milan - prediction, team news, lineups Italy will stand still on Saturday evening, as Serie A giants Juventus and Inter Milan go head-to-head in Turin. While Juve come into the season's first Derby d'Italia with maximum points on the board, Inter faltered just before the international break and already have ground to make up. Match preview Reprising a rivalry that began way back in 1909, the two clubs with most Scudetti to their name meet again this weekend, with Juventus playing host at the Allianz Stadium. Saturday's clash will do well to match the sides' first contest last season, when Juve's Kenan Yildiz struck twice in the closing stages of a frantic 4-4 draw in Milan. After that eight-goal thriller last October, Francisco Conceicao was the sole scorer in February's reverse fixture, as the Bianconeri continued their impressive recent record at home to Inter. Heading into this week's game, Juventus have lost just one of the teams' last 11 league meetings in Turin, so history will certainly be on their side. The hosts' current form is also as head coach Igor Tudor would wish, having started his first full season in charge with wins over Parma and Genoa. Amid another campaign of off-field chaos at the club, Tudor calmly took the reins from Thiago Motta and steered Juve to a fourth-placed finish last term, and he may now have one eye on regaining the Scudetto. Both the Bianconeri and Inter have designs on dethroning Napoli next spring, so neither can afford to make many mistakes. ............ Juventus Serie A form: W W Inter Milan Serie A form: W L Team News Juventus have some selection calls to make up front, as Jonathan David has started the season well for club and country, while contract rebel Dusan Vlahovic has scored against both Parma and Genoa despite starting on the bench. Recent arrival Lois Openda is another option in the final third, but Conceicao withdrew from Portugal's squad with a muscular injury and may miss out. Midfielder Fabio Miretti is also struggling with a thigh problem. Having been sent off for violent conduct on the opening day, Andrea Cambiaso misses the second match of a two-game ban, so Joao Mario and Filip Kostic will join versatile pair Pierre Kalulu and Weston McKennie in the fight for wing-back places. ............ Juventus possible starting lineup: Di Gregorio; Gatti, Bremer, Kelly; Kalulu, Thuram, Locatelli, Mario; Koopmeiners, Yildiz; David Inter Milan possible starting lineup: Sommer; Akanji, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Sucic, Dimarco; Thuram, Martinez We say: Juventus 1-1 Inter Milan This latest instalment of the Derby d'Italia will offer more clues as to which side is best equipped to challenge for the title, with hosts Juventus hoping to lay down a marker. However, they may have to settle for a low-scoring draw, as Inter will fight all the way to avoid rare back-to-back defeats. .

Hernanes predicts a lot of goals in the Juventus-Inter Milan match Former Juventus and Inter Milan midfielder Hernanes has predicted a high-scoring affair when the two Italian giants meet in Serie A this weekend. The clash is already being billed as one of the standout fixtures of the early season, with both sides eager to assert themselves in the title race. Juventus have made a strong start to the campaign, recording back-to-back victories in their opening matches. However, the meeting with Inter Milan will represent their toughest test so far. ............ The rivalry produced an extraordinary spectacle last season, with the first meeting between the sides ending in a thrilling 4-4 draw. Juventus will hope to avoid such drama this time and instead secure a more controlled victory. Yet history suggests that encounters between these two clubs rarely pass without incident, and another high-tempo, goal-laden match cannot be ruled out. Hernanes, who represented both sides during his career, believes fans can expect plenty of action in front of goal. He said: “Juventus – Inter will be a match of goals. The Nerazzurri are still the ones playing the best football in Italy, but be careful, the Bianconeri are cynical and ruthless.” ............ For Juventus, victory would consolidate their strong start and provide an early statement of intent in the title race. Their ability to combine efficiency with resilience makes them formidable opponents in high-pressure matches. For Inter, the fixture offers both risk and opportunity. Defeat would leave them facing difficult questions so early in the campaign, while victory would re-establish them as one of the league’s leading forces. ............ .
