INTER - JUVENTUS - Saturday, May 16th, 2015 - 6:00 p.m. Giuseppe Meazza Stadium (San Siro), Milan Referee: Daniele Doveri Boninsegna: Inter Have The Advantage Against Juventus May 16, 2015 Former Inter and Juventus striker Roberto Boninsegna has said that the Nerazzurri have a great chance to defeat the Bianconeri on Saturday evening. Inter host Juventus at the Stadio Meazza in Round 36 of Serie A action, and the 71-year-old believes that the Nerazzurri can make the most of Juve fielding a second-string team. “The Milanese squad has a great opportunity to beat the champions of Italy and get a spot in the Europa League in the nick of time,” Boninsegna told Itasportpress.it. “Juventus used lots of mental and physical energy in Madrid and in Milan they will also have many reserves on the ground. “It is a great advantage for Inter who if they enter the ground determined, they will be able to get the three points and give great satisfaction to the fans at the end of a not exciting season.” Boninsegna played from Inter from 1969 to 1976, scoring 113 goals in 197 Serie A games, and then he played for Juventus from 1976 to 1979, 22 goals in 58 league games. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

INTER - JUVENTUS - Saturday, May 16th, 2015 - 6:00 p.m. Giuseppe Meazza Stadium (San Siro), Milan Referee: Daniele Doveri Team News: Seven changes for Juventus May 16, 2015 Juventus have made seven changes to the side that secured their place in the Champions League final ahead of their match against Inter Milan in Serie A this evening. Leonardo Bonucci, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Claudio Marchisio and goalscorer Alvaro Morata are the only players to keep their places following the 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu earlier this week. Meanwhile, Inter Milan have made two changes to the side that secured a 2-1 win over nine-man Lazio last weekend. Xherdan Shaqiri and Marcelo Brozovic both come into the team, resulting in Fredy Guarin and Hernanes both being left out of the squad. Inter: Handanovic, Juan, Vidic, Ranocchia, D'Ambrosio, Palacio, Kovacic, Medel, Brozovic, Shaqiri, Icardi Juventus: Storari, Barzagli, Bonucci, Padoin, Lichtsteiner, Romulo, Marchisio, Sturaro, Matri, Pereyra, Morata http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

INTER - JUVENTUS - Saturday, May 16th, 2015 - 6:00 p.m. Giuseppe Meazza Stadium (San Siro), Milan Referee: Daniele Doveri Line-ups: Inter-Juventus May 16, 2015 Inter throw Mauro Icardi and Xherdan Shaqiri at a revamped but enthusiastic Juventus in the Derby d’Italia. This is usually one of the biggest fixtures of the season, but it feels unusual this time round, not least for its early kick-off time. Roberto Mancini’s Inter have a lot to play for, as they are gambling their last cards to get into the Europa League next season. Hernanes is suspended after bagging a brace in the 2-1 victory away to Lazio, while Fredy Guarin, Jonathan, Dodo and Hugo Campagnaro are sidelined. It gives Shaqiri the chance to prove himself after a series of games on the bench. The man to watch is Icardi, who not only is challenging Carlos Tevez for the Capocannoniere title, but has scored in each of his four career encounters with Juventus in Serie A for a total five goals. Juve are fresh from their Champions League heroics against Real Madrid and rest numerous stars. Coach Max Allegri – a former Milan man familiar with San Siro – has to keep players fresh for the Coppa Italia Final with Lazio on May 20 and the Champions League Final against Barcelona on June 6. Martin Caceres is the only injury absentee, but Juve are resting the likes of Carlos Tevez, Gigi Buffon, Arturo Vidal, Andrea Pirlo and Giorgio Chiellini. Inter have won only one of their last nine Serie A meetings with Juve, drawing three and losing five. The last Bianconeri top flight defeat at San Siro was in April 2010, followed by two victories and two stalemates. Inter: Handanovic; D'Ambrosio, Ranocchia, Vidic, Jesus; Brozovic, Medel, Kovacic; Shaqiri; Palacio, Icardi Inter bench: Carrizo, Andreolli, Podolski, Kuzmanovic, Obi, Santon, Felipe, Gnoukouri, Puscas, Nagatomo, Dimarco, Bonazzoli Juventus: Storari; Lichtsteiner, Barzagli, Bonucci, Padoin; Romulo, Marchisio, Sturaro; Pereyra; Matri, Morata Juventus bench: Moedim, Audero, Ogbonna, Pogba, Pepe, Coman, Llorente, De Ceglie, Asamoah, Marrone Ref: Doveri http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

INTER - JUVENTUS - Saturday, May 16th, 2015 - 6:00 p.m. Giuseppe Meazza Stadium (San Siro), Milan Referee: Daniele Doveri INTER V JUVENTUS MATCH PREVIEW May 16, 2015 Juventus What more can we ask to this Serie A campaign? Very little, now that there’s only pride on the line for Bianconeri. Inter-Juventus is usually a fascinating fixture, but the circumstances obviously move it to the background. However, after losing the Derby against Torino, there’ll probably be more desire to do well, even if the squad will be distracted by the recent accomplishment and the looming Coppa Italia final. It’s a good time to catch the squad off guard, but as Massimiliano Allegri said: “We are Juventus and there are always motivations” and “It’s still Inter-Juventus.” As the match is sandwiched between two demanding clashes, we’ll see once again a lineup filled with second-stringers, but with some exceptions. Alvaro Morata and Claudio Marchisio are suspended for the Wednesday game, so they are likely to feature in this one. Gianluigi Buffon, Carlos Tevez, Andrea Pirlo, Giorgio Chiellini, Patrice Evra and Arturo Vidal have not been called up. On the other hand, Kwadwo Asamoah is fit and ready to return, but probably not from the get-go. Since Inter are way better than Cagliari and the main objective is to avoid an unwelcomed gaffe against a long-time rival, Allegri intends to field some starters like Leonardo Bonucci and Stephen Lichsteiner and maybe even Paul Pogba, even though it would be his third straight game in a week, after a fifty day absense because of a muscular injury. Valuable reserves like Stefano Sturaro and Roberto Pereyra deserve to take the stage at San Siro. Despite his precious contribution throughout the season, the Argentinian midfield was disregarded in the biggest matches of the season, so we can expect a little chip on his shoulder (and probably a better performance than in the Cagliari game). If Pogba was spared, Romulo could have another chance to prove his value, but in the midfield this time, and, of course, this is a classic Simone Padoin game. There’s more incertitude upfront. The crisp Morata will spearhead the attack, with Alessandro Matri or Fernando Llorente on his side. There’s a chance the coach opts for 4-3-3, which is the official tactic of Juve 2, with Simone Pepe and Kingsley Coman as the offensive wingers, but as it stands now 4-3-1-2 looks more likely. In the first match between the two teams in January, Juventus didn’t manage to win at home and the final result was 1-1. Juventus have recently stumbled on the road, grabbing only two victories in the last five matches as they lost against Torino and Parma and drawn against Roma, but they maintain the best record in the League away from home. The last performance from the reserves wasn’t particularly inspiring, besides the usual command in the back by Andrea Barzagli and some flashes from Romulo. If he made an appearance, Coman would be once again in the spotlight: during the week, there have been rumblings suggesting that the management could even consider an outright sale if a good offer arrived. I’m skeptical, but maybe selling him with a buy-back clause is on the table. As we know, with Paulo Dybala reportedly already signed, the competition in Juventus’ attack will be fierce and exciting next season and Coman could be considered still too raw. Probable lineup 4-3-1-2: Storari; Lichtsteiner, Barzagli, Bonucci, Padoin; Romulo, Marchisio, Sturaro; Pereyra; Matri, Morata. Injured players Caceres (ankle). Form (W-W-W-D-D) Inter Inter are right in the running for a Europa League spot as they are three points behind Fiorentina and two points behind Sampdoria. Moreover, Genoa are struggling to get an UEFA license and Torino have dropped out of the race with the recent back-to-back losses, so in theory they are the lone competitors. They need every point they can obtain. It’s not easy to get an handle on this Inter side. They deservedly beat Roma, then they unconvincingly defeated Udinese (down to nine men for a big chunk of the game), they laid an egg against Chievo Verona at home (0-0) and in the last game they played pretty well against Lazio, even though they were helped by two red cards. The overall record since the return of Roberto Mancini is nine wins, nine draws and six losses. The complexion of the midfield will be different from the last matches because Fredy Guarin suffered a thigh injury and Hernanes, who has really been their driving force as of late, is suspended. The most logical replacements are Marcelo Brozovic and Xherdan Shaqiri, who, after a good start, have been left out of the starting XI in the recent games. Zdravko Kuzmanovic and Assane Gnoukouri are the alternatives if Mancini opts for a more muscular midfield, moving Mateo Kovacic behind the striker and leaving the former Bayern Munich attacker on the bench. The main threat comes from the notorious Juve killer Mauro Icardi, who has scored five times in the last four matches against the Old Lady. He’ll partner the imperishable Rodrigo Palacio. Lukas Podolski has been able to provide unexpected contribution from the bench in the last games too: he could be an option, even from the start, in case the coach wants a different scheme. Mancini has consistently fielded a back four composed by Danilo D’Ambrosio, Andrea Ranocchia, Nemanja Vidic and Juan Jesus. It doesn’t have the same offensive punch as an usual defense with two traditional fullbacks, but it is a little more physical and reliable, even though all members are pretty prone to occasional blunders, at least because they have one more big body to protecting Samir Handanovic. They like to keep ball in the opponents’ half until they manage to find the right opening for a timely through ball or a lob behind the defense. This was clear in the last match, where they managed to find a cutting Palacio multiple times. Their flank game isn’t very strong, further impoverished by the presence of Juan Jesus, so they usually operate in the center, an area that will be very clogged. They play aggressively, taking advantage of their physicality, in particular in the set pieces. They have all the tools to be a strong side, but sometimes they seem psychologically vulnerable, passive and sloppy: they make easy mistakes and the let the opponents have the upper hand for a too much time. They have (relatively) struggled at home, where there’s an increased pressure from the fans and the opponents sit back more: the record six wins, seven draws and four draws, which is mediocre. Probable lineup 4-3-1-2: Handanovic; D’Ambrosio, Ranocchia, Vidic, Juan Jesus; Brozovic, Medel, Kovacic; Shaqiri; Icardi, Palacio. Injured players Guarin (thigh), Campagnaro (calf), Dodo (knee), Jonathan (knee). Suspended players Hernanes.

Allegri to get Juve raise May 16, 2015 Max Allegri could receive a Juventus contract extension with an impressive raise after reaching the Champions League Final. According to La giornalaccio rosa dello Sport, the club will increase his wages from €2m per season to €3.5m. The contract would run to June 2017 with an option to extend for one more year. The Coach took over from Antonio Conte when pre-season training had already begun and was greeted with furious protests by Bianconeri fans. However, the ex-Milan boss won them all over by winning the Scudetto, reaching the Coppa Italia Final and getting Juve to the Champions League Final for the first time in 12 years. He could complete the Treble, as the Coppa Italia Final with Lazio is on May 20 and they face Barcelona in Berlin on June 6.

INTER - JUVENTUS - Saturday, May 16th, 2015 - 6:00 p.m. Giuseppe Meazza Stadium (San Siro), Milan Referee: Daniele Doveri Inter Milan Vs Juventus – Team News, Tactics, Lineups And Predictions May 16, 2015 Inter Milan and Juventus are set to renew hostile proceedings on Saturday night as the Derby d’Italia takes the stage at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milan. The Nerazzurri enter the match with everything to play for as they continue their late push for a place in the Europa League, while the Bianconeri can be pardoned if they fail to show the same fire as their rivals having already clinched their fourth straight Scudetto after their recent 1-0 victory over Sampdoria. Regardless of the standings, pride and bragging rights are always at stake when these two battle and it should be no different come Saturday. Juventus enter the match in great spirits after clinching a deserved place in the Champions League final thanks to a 3-2 aggregate victory over Real Madrid, dispatching the defending champions en-route to their first final in 12 years. That result could prove beneficial to the Nerazzurri as recent reports suggest Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri may opt for a squad turnover as the Bianconeri will have to prepare for the Coppa Italia final which has been moved forward to May 20. Team news and tactics Inter It has been a largely frustrating campaign for Inter this term, although it could end on a high note if Roberto Mancini’s side continue their recent upturn in form in Serie A. The Nerazzurri had looked set for mid-table mediocrity, but a run of seven games without defeat has moved them to within three points of Fiorentina in fifth and a Europa League spot. Inter began a run of their next four matches coming against top-half teams by beating Lazio 2-1 last weekend, but Juventus could be a different proposition. Some supporters were questioning the decision to bring Roberto Mancini back to San Siro for a second spell as manager back in November, but Inter’s recent form suggests that the former Manchester City boss is beginning to make his mark. The suspension of Brazilian trequartista Hernanes will mean that winter signing Xherdan Shaqiri will probably be given the nod, something of a rarity as of late. The Swiss international will know that this will be an unmissable opportunity to return to Mancini’s good books and so can be expected to put in a hard working performance. The in-form Matteo Kovacic will probably start ahead of Freddy Guarin who’s looked a bit out of sorts in the last two matches. Lukas Podolski and Xherdan Shaqiri both had to settle for a place on the bench against Lazio for the second week in a row, so they will be hoping to earn a recall to the starting XI. Probable Starting Line-up (4-3-1-2): Handanovic; D’Ambrosio, Ranocchia, Vidic, Juan Jesus; Brozovic, Medel, Kovacic; Shaqiri; Palacio, Icardi Juventus It has been a memorable week for Juventus supporters, with the club enjoying success in Europe and keeping their hopes of landing a historic treble alive. Juve overcame Real Madrid 3-2 on aggregate in the semi-finals of the Champions League on Wednesday evening to set up a clash against Barcelona in the final. Allegri has a full strength squad to choose from, with long term absentees Kwadwo Asamoah and Martin Caceres the only players unavailable. With Wednesday’s Coppa Italia final looming large as the Bianconeri push for their own Treble, the likes of Alessandro Matri, Romulo and Angelo Ogbonna are set to feature ahead of starters Carlos Tevez, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Leonardo Bonucci in what is expected to be an ample squad turnover. With the title wrapped up, Allegri will turn his attention to the Coppa Italia final against Lazio on Wednesday along with their Champions League showdown with Barcelona, so he could look to give fringe players the opportunity to impress during the final league games of the season. Following their heroics against Real in midweek, Allegri will more than likely rest a few of his key players. This could mean that Roberto Pereyra, Alessandro Matri and Fernando Llorente are given starts. Paul Pogba, who had been out since March 18 with a thigh problem, started against Real in midweek. The Frenchman played 89 minutes in Spain and thus may be named among the substitutes for this one. Probable Starting Line-up (4-3-3): Storari; Romulo, Barzagli, Ogbonna, Padoin; Sturaro, Marchisio, Pereyra; Pepe, Morata, Coman Key Facts This will be the 164th meeting between Inter and Juventus in Serie A: the Old Lady leads by 77 wins to 45. The Nerazzurri have won only one of their last nine games against Juve in Serie A, losing five. Inter have scored exactly one goal in each of their last four meetings with Juve in the league. Players to Watch Out For Mauro Icardi (Inter Milan) The highly rated Argentinean youngster will come up against his capocannoniere rival and compatriot Carlos Tevez in this match, and the Inter striker will definitely be hoping to add to his season’s goal tally. With Icardi having scored in 5 of his 6 matches against Juve, the former Sampdoria man will look to add to that record. Alvaro Morata (Juventus) Alvaro Morata scored the decisive goal to secure a 1-1 draw at Santiago Bernabeu and send the Italian champions through to their first final since 2003. He will be looking to get on the scoresheet again tonight. Prediction Inter Milan 3–1 Juventus Inter overcame Lazio in a very controversial encounter on Sunday, but in doing so they extended their current unbeaten streak this season to 7 games. Juventus are champions of Italy, have just gained a place in the Champions League final and will contest the Coppa Italia final four days after travelling to the San Siro. It is not in Juventus’ nature to settle down and make do with what they have achieved so far, so the fans would love to halt their old rivals Inter in their chase for a European spot. However, this is as good a time as any for the Bianconeri to gain some rest and avoid taking useless risks, which means they are unlikely to line up with their strongest XI. Their resistance to Inter’s good form will be based on pride and from the substitutes bench that will play at the San Siro, but the Nerazzurri look very well-equipped to secure a top-6 finish. Blast From the Past Juventus earned a 1-1 draw on their last visit to San Siro in 2013 with Icardi and Vidal getting the goals. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

INTER - JUVENTUS - Saturday, May 16th, 2015 - 6:00 p.m. Giuseppe Meazza Stadium (San Siro), Milan Referee: Daniele Doveri Juventus vs. Inter Milan Preview: Round 36 — Hello, old (mid-table) friends May 16, 2015 Ah, Juventus vs. Inter Milan. Just your average top-of-the-table vs. mid-table meeting, right? Well, based on how the Serie A standings currently look, that's exactly what it is. On one end you have the four-time defending champions and newly-minted Champions League finalists, while in the other you have a team struggling to even make the Europa League. Hey, that's just reality. And it's also Derby d'Italia time. Those are fun! Juventus and Inter playing in the 36th of 38 Serie A fixtures might have meant something big in previous years. There might have been one team playing for the Scudetto. Heck, maybe even both going up against one another for it. That's the kind of things those who cover Italy's top flight drool over — the story is there right in front of you even before the game starts and all you have to do is fill in the details. This game isn't like those games. At least I don't think it is. I'm sure I'm not alone in that line of thinking. The last time Juventus saw Inter was in the first game of 2015, Roberto Mancini had just taken over after being re-hired as manager following the firing of Walter Mazzarri. Inter were sitting in 11th back then, struggling to do much of anything on a consistent basis other than playing crap football for a decent amount of time. Since then, Inter has moved ... to eighth place! While they haven't lost in their last seven games (four wins, three draws), Inter is still on the outside looking in on a Europa League spot. I'm pretty sure that's not what the Inter hierarchy envisioned when they brought Mancini back to town to try and right the ship. Oh, what a different kind of situation than the team they're about to play tomorrow night. Juventus has successfully clinched the Scudetto with plenty of room to spare. They've advanced to the Champions League final with Wednesday night's 1-1 against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu. And just to top it all of, Juve have the chance to win the Coppa Italia on Wednesday night when they face Lazio. The chance to get a treble is now a distinct possibility. Maybe we dismissed it a few weeks ago for a variety of reasons, but with the dispatching of Real Madrid, it's a reality now. What a beautiful, beautiful reality to have at the end of a fantastic season. So if you're thinking these are two different teams having two completely different seasons, you're probably right. Or, completely right. Whichever one you want to go with works fine. GOOD NEWS KWADWO ASAMOAH BACK. BAD NEWS If you were hoping to see Gianluigi Buffon, Carlos Tévez, Andrea Pirlo, Arturo Vidal and Patrice Evra all play against Inter, then the link above will probably sadden you. All five players haven't been called up for the trip to the San Siro after Max Allegri has decided to give them the weekend off and let them rest back home in Turin. WHAT TO WATCH FOR 1. Who will get some rest ahead of the Coppa Italia final? When was the last time Allegri has come out and essentially said he's going to rotate the hell out of the squad in back-to-back weeks? And when was the last time we've seen Juventus rotate the squad like crazy entering a derby matchup and in the game before a Coppa Italia fixture? Ah, these times are changing. (I know it's the Coppa Italia final, but just stay with me here.) Much like it was against Cagliari last weekend, you'll probably be able to count on one hand how many players who started against Real Madrid getting a starting spot against Inter. That's a lot to do with what game Juve just played and the one a few days away, but also the fact that outside of Martin Cáceres, Allegri pretty much has everybody to choose from this weekend. Obviously, some are being rested back at home, but I'm not going to be shocked if the starting lineup against Inter comes quite close to resembling the one from the 1-1 draw against Cagliari. JuventusFC ✔@juventusfcen .@OfficialAllegri: "Tomorrow I'll have the opportunity to hand game time to those who have played less, @Asabob20 for example." 2. Will Max Allegri turn to a trident like last weekend? One of those tweaks that Allegri used with so much squad rotation was changing the look of his team in the final third. Instead of going with a 4-3-1-2 formation, Mad Max went with a 4-3-3 and Simone Pepe-Alessandro Matri-Kingsley Coman trident in attack. Allegri could choose to stick with the same three players, or go with Álvaro Morata up front considering he's suspended for the Coppa Italia final. If that means giving Coman some much-needed playing, then I guess I won't be objecting to it. Seeing Coman and Morata playing together would also be a nice opportunity for Max considering how little they've been on the field at the same time this season. No matter who does end up starting, the odds seem to be favoring a 4-3-3 like the one used against Cagliari. Just another chance for Allegri to show off his tactical flexibility, I suppose. 3. Mauro Icardi vs. Juventus' defense. Carlos Tévez may be atop the Serie A scoring chart, but there's been one of his countryman nipping at his heels all season long. Icardi currently ranks third in Serie A — behind Tévez and Numero Uno Luca Toni — with 18 goals on the campaign. Guess who scored Inter's goal in January's 1-1 draw at Juventus Stadium? Yeah, that would be Icardi. He's undoubtedly been one of Inter's more consistent players in a season where the team has struggled to really do anything consistent until the last few weeks. And if Inter want to break Juventus down no matter who is starting in defense, the Nerazzurri will certainly need Icardi to be a pest just like he was the first time the two teams played. 4. How bad is Juventus' Champions League hangover? Considering how many crucial players Allegri has left behind to rest in Turin, from the simple fatigue perspective, Juve should be relatively fresh. He's obviously planning for not just the Coppa Italia final, but down the road as well. So, in a sense, Allegri is trying to avoid any kind of lag in his team due to physical tiredness to his most important players by not even having them there. (Not that it's a bad thing. I think we can all agree that having the chance to rest some of his key players like Vidal and Carlitos at this stage of the season is a massive advantage to have.) Still, there's always the chance of Juve struggling just a few days out from such an exciting yet taxing effort in Europe because that's just a natural thing to have happen. My starting XI (4-3-3): Storari; Romulo, Barzagli, Bonucci, Padoin; Pereyra, Marchisio, Sturaro; Pepe, Morata, Coman OFFICIAL KICKOFF TIME: 8:45 P.M. IN ITALY; 2:45 P.M. ON THE EAST COAST; 11:45 A.M.

INTER - JUVENTUS - Saturday, May 16th, 2015 - 6:00 p.m. Giuseppe Meazza Stadium (San Siro), Milan Referee: Daniele Doveri MATCH PREVIEW May 15, 2015 Inter take on Juventus at San Siro, with the former looking to continue their Europa League push. Another Derby d’Italia descends upon us and this time in highly effervescent circumstances. Inter have finally found some consistency and are in the middle of a very late push for a European spot finish, while Juventus, buoyed by their midweek European heroics will be eager to remind the Serie A’s only treble winners that their record might well be broken this season. Roberto Mancini’s side are one of the most in-form teams in Serie A, so expect the Nerazzurri to play a formation that is largely unchanged from that which beat Lazio at the Olimpico last weekend. The suspension of Brazilian trequartista Hernanes will mean that winter signing Xherdan Shaqiri will probably be given the nod, something of a rarity as of late. The Swiss international will know that this will be an unmissable opportunity to return to Mancini’s good books and so can be expected to put in a hard working performance. The in-form Matteo Kovacic will probably start ahead of Freddy Guarin who’s looked a bit out of sorts in the last two matches. Juventus coach, Max Allegri, will know the importance of balancing the understandable euphoria within his squad with focus on the match, rotating his squad ahead of their upcoming Coppa Italia final clash against Lazio while ensuring that his side’s competitive edge doesn’t dull due to over-rotation. Midfield magician Andrea Pirlo will probably be rested with Argentine Roberto Pereyra slotting in as trequartista in his absence, while Angelo Ogbonna or Simone Padoin may be given a start instead of Patrice Evra to rest the veteran Frenchman. This fixture has become somewhat of an acrimonious affair in the last few years, so we can expect a tightly contested match, however, with Inter having much more to lose and prove in this game, will the home side finally show the league what they’re made of or will the Bianconeri steamroller just be too powerful to stop? Keep an eye on: Mauro Icardi (Inter) – The highly rated Argentinean youngster will come up against his capocannoniere rival and compatriot Carlos Tevez in this match, and the Inter striker will definitely be hoping to add to his season’s goal tally. With Icardi having scored in 5 of his 6 matches against Juve, the former Sampdoria man will look to add to that record.

Allegri reveals Conte message & calls for calm ahead of Champions League final The Juve boss said the man he succeeded at the helm congratulated him on winning the Scudetto and discussed next month's clash with Barcelona. May 15, 2015 Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has revealed that predecessor Antonio Conte sent him a congratulatory text after this season's Serie A title triumph. Conte completely reinvigorated the Old Lady, taking control in 2011 after consecutive seventh-placed finishes and then leading the Turin-based club to three successive Scudetti. The club icon then sensationally parted company with the club last summer, after an alleged dispute with his bosses over their transfer plans for the 2014-15 campaign. Allegri, his replacement, has enjoyed a stellar debut season, wrapping up the Serie A title with four rounds to spare, as well as qualifying for both the Coppa Italia and Champions League finals. It has been suggested that Conte has been shown up for an alleged lack of faith in the strength of his squad, given that he famously said before his departure that "one can't eat in a €100 restaurant with €10". However, Allegri says that the current Italy boss has been just as enthused by Juve's success this season as everyone else and humbly suggested that he has benefited from a slice of good fortune that maybe his predecessor lacked. “Antonio sent me a message after we won the league,” Allegri told journalists on Friday. “So, now you have an exclusive, and you’re all happy! “I think this team has important attributes, players who are European and world-class, so it’s normal that we could reach the Champions League final. “Of course, in addition to being good it also takes a bit of luck. But I think this team still has room for improvement, with the things we do in the game and the speed of our movements. I believe we can still do that. “Then, of course, having good players helps, because without the players you can hardly achieve the important results which Juventus did in the three years of Conte and the one year of Allegri. “There have been many games where we played well, but then there was an important game like in Monaco [in the Champions League quarter-finals] where we didn’t play well but took home the result. “Then there’s Madrid [in the semi-final second leg], where we could have won, they could have won and it eventually ended in a draw. That’s what matters to us, and we got to the final." Given all of the hysteria surrounding Juve's appearance in their first Champions League decider since 2003, Allegri called on his troops to concentrate on Saturday's Serie A clash with AC Milan and, more significantly, next week's Coppa Italia showdown with Lazio. “First thing first, we have to prepare for the game tomorrow,” Allegri added. “Then, on Sunday, we start preparing for the Coppa Italia final. After the Coppa Italia, we have Napoli, where we’ll be presented the Scudetto on the pitch. “I don’t know when the party will be. These are details, the club will let you know when there will be a party. Then we have a week where we can get a few days of rest, where we have to prepare for this Champions League final without getting too worked up, so we don’t arrive there with anxiety. “It’s a final, we’ll play it knowing that we’re facing a very strong team in Barcelona, but also knowing that we have a very good chance of taking home this Champions League. “It won’t be easy, but I don’t think a Champions League final is ever easy. We must not play it with stress, so we must remember the final is on June 6. We can’t play it before then, and we can’t move it.”

INTER - JUVENTUS - Saturday, May 16th, 2015 - 6:00 p.m. Giuseppe Meazza Stadium (San Siro), Milan Referee: Daniele Doveri Triumphant Juventus must keep their winning feeling May 15, 2015 Probably one of the first things that Juventus thought to do when they reached the final of the Champions League was to laugh at the many memes that had viewed them as the weakest link left in the semifinals. Everyone had wanted the chance to beat the Old Lady, for despite her history and her achievements in recent years, she was still perceived as feeble and a side lacking in genuine quality to manage real European giants with bigger brands and deeper pockets. Where they once boasted the greatest stars of the world, Juventus, at least on paper, had little to brag about in Europe. They possessed Carlos Tevez with diva-like behaviour and a preference of golf over football. They bought Alvaro Morata who was forever ignored by Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid. There was Leonardo Bonucci, who many pointed out was inferior to former teammate Andrea Ranocchia. Andrea Pirlo, discarded by Milan, Patrice Evra, laughed at for being too old and Paul Pogba: Sir Alex Ferguson's greatest regret. They were all unwanted, unloved, ignored -- a scrap heap of talent, of well-executed transactions that with a little love and a lot of devotion grew into a majestic flower. Their gardener? The great Massimiliano Allegri, a man greeted at the club by having an egg thrown at him. Sacked by Milan and ridiculed by Italy, Allegri is simply another brilliant addition to a side that allowed alleged mediocrity to thrive into absolute excellence. Taking a team that preferred tenacity to technique, Allegri built upon their winning mentality and determined ways and gave them a soul, an identity and courage of conviction. Most importantly, he gave them genuine belief and the ability to dream again. For once, they were not only good enough to forge ahead past teams within a declining league, but a side that could and has taken on the biggest and best Europe has to offer and defeated them with breathtaking organisation and tactical versatility. Asked about their chance of actually winning the trophy, Allegri was defiant: "We are in good physical shape, they have a stratospheric front three but we go to Berlin convinced we can bring home the trophy." The key word used was "convinced". No fear, no doubts no statements that reveal a secret inferiority complex. People can talk of star studded players, of wonderful individuals but Juventus have a team, a squad spirit and a family-like atmosphere that has won the hearts of the neutral. More importantly, they have recovered their confidence in Europe and know they have something special. One need only watch their celebrations in the away dressing room at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu to appreciate the camaraderie for even the kit men believe in this unit. That certainly doesn't mean they will win; much like they have been for much of their European journey, Juventus are the underdogs in the final. Barcelona are not just another giant, but a squad that has evolved to beautiful levels. They no longer talk of winning the "right way", just of winning. They boast remarkable ability to possess the ball but they're also more direct. They use the full width of the pitch but still operate majestically in tight space. Coached by a man who believes stamina and fitness are of the utmost importance, this Blaugrana side, unlike in other seasons, don't tire so easily and boast physicality as well as technical excellence. However, before the Old Lady can think of attempting to fulfil her European ambitions, she has to focus on the rest of her league matches and prepare for the upcoming Coppa Italia final against Lazio. The first match she will undertake is on Saturday and it's not any old game: it's Inter and the Derby d'Italia. The game has lost much of its appeal largely due to the Nerazzurri's poor position in the table in recent years. This isn't a side that can offer much competition and beating them will not be a priority as the Bianconeri have little else to prove. Yet, for the fans, it's still a question of pride. While the likes of Pirlo and Tevez will enjoy a rest, Claudio Marchisio will start, as will the man who scored the goals to take Juve through to the Champions League final, Morata. Allegri believes in maintaining a winning momentum; he doesn't want his squad to lose their competitive edge even if much of the fringe players will be given a chance to shine. Another victory will simply be the icing on a cake of what has been a beautiful season for the Old Lady. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

INTER - JUVENTUS - Saturday, May 16th, 2015 - 6:00 p.m. Giuseppe Meazza Stadium (San Siro), Milan Referee: Daniele Doveri Inter without Guarin, Hernanes May 15, 2015 Fredy Guarin and Hernanes are Inter’s only high-profile absentees from their squad to face Juventus in Saturday’s Derby d’Italia. Brazil international Hernanes is suspended while Guarin misses out through injury, which could hand Xherdan Shaqiri an opportunity to start the match. Champions League finalists Juventus have already wrapped up the Scudetto, but Inter are still targeting Europa League qualification. Kick-off from San Siro will be at 18:00 CET on Saturday. In January, the two sides fought out a 1-1 draw at the Juventus Stadium after goals from Carlos Tevez and Mauro Icardi. Inter squad for Juventus: Handanovic, Carrizo, Berni, Juan Jesus, Andreolli, Vidic, Santon, Ranocchia, Felipe, D'Ambrosio, Nagatomo, Dimarco, Kovacic, Kuzmanovic, Medel, Obi, Gnoukouri, Brozovic, Palacio, Icardi, Podolski, Puscas, Shaqiri, Bonazzoli http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

INTER - JUVENTUS - Saturday, May 16th, 2015 - 6:00 p.m. Giuseppe Meazza Stadium (San Siro), Milan Referee: Daniele Doveri Internazionale v Juventus: Preview May 15, 2015 Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini expects a very difficult game against Juventus in Saturday's derby d'Italia despite the Serie A champions resting their top players at the San Siro. Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri has left captain Gianluigi Buffon, defender Patrice Evra, midfielders Arturo Vidal and Andrea Pirlo as well as Serie A's top scorer Carlos Tevez in Turin. All five players started in Wednesday's 1-1 draw at Real Madrid, a result that allowed Juve to progress 3-2 on aggregate to their first Champions League final in 12 years. The Turin giants, who clinched the Scudetto last month, will take on Barcelona in a title decider in Berlin on June 6. ``The game against Juventus will not be easy because they are riding a wave of enthusiasm,'' Mancini said to the Italian press on Friday. ``Even the bench players will give their all to prove their value. ``Juve has deserved the Scudetto and I congratulate them for reaching the Champions League final. ``Whoever play for Juve tomorrow will be rested and I expect a tough game.'' Inter, who won the European final in 2010, have endured a difficult 2014-15 campaign but are hoping to finish in the top six to qualify for the Europa League. The Nerrazzurri have won three of their last four league games, including a 2-1 triumph at Lazio in the last round, and have conceded just three goals in their last six matches. Inter are eighth in the standings, two points adrift of sixth-place Sampdoria. ``We will try to give our all in our final three games in order to achieve that aim,'' Mancini said. Juve are keen to warm up for next week's Coppa Italia final against Lazio with a victory at Inter. ``We are Juve and we need to maintain our motivation high,'' Allegri said. ``This game is always fascinating. ``Inter need to win to maintain their push for Europa League football and we want to keep up our good condition for the Coppa Italia and the Champions League finals.'' Marco Storari will replace Buffon in goal. Inter will have to overcome the absence of midfielder Hernanes, who is suspended. Hernanes' two goals earned Inter victory over Lazio last weekend. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

INTER - JUVENTUS - Saturday, May 16th, 2015 - 6:00 p.m. Giuseppe Meazza Stadium (San Siro), Milan Referee: Daniele Doveri Allegri: World-class Buffon has stayed young at heart The Juventus coach says the 37-year-old's unrivalled enthusiasm has been the key to the World Cup winner's longevity. May 15, 2015 Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri says Gianluigi Buffon proved he is still a world class goalkeeper with his performance against Real Madrid on Wednesday. Buffon made a number of fine stops, including a spectacular saves to deny Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo, as the Italian champions earned a 1-1 draw that saw them through to the Champions League final. Allegri says the 37-year-old’s enthusiasm has been key to his continued success. "Buffon has an extraordinary game in Madrid from a technical standpoint,” the Bianconeri boss told a press conference on Friday. “Buffon is world class. He's been in the business for a while now and still has the enthusiasm of a youngster.” Juve, who have already secured their fourth consecutive Serie A title, return to league action on Saturday against Inter, when Allegri says he will rest a number of first-team regulars. "Caceres is the only player on the treatment table at present. I will have the chance to rest a few players,” he said. "I will have the opportunity to hand game time to those who have played less, like Kwadwo Asamoah for example. "I didn't call up Vidal, Tevez, Pirlo, Buffon or Evra. They will all stay at home." The Old Lady are heading for a Coppa Italia final meeting with Lazio on Wednesday, and Allegri says pacing themselves will be critical to their chances of securing a famous treble. “The Coppa Italia final is our second target of the season, so we'll need to prepare as best we can,” he said. “Rest is just as important as work at this stage. We need to be clear headed when going into the Champions League final. "We've reached this position on merit, thanks to gradual and consistent improvement as the season's gone on." http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

INTER - JUVENTUS - Saturday, May 16th, 2015 - 6:00 p.m. Giuseppe Meazza Stadium (San Siro), Milan Referee: Daniele Doveri Allegri: ‘Focus on Inter & Coppa’ May 15, 2015 Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri warns his players not to be distracted by the upcoming Champions League final. The Bianconeri have reached the showpiece event in Berlin, and will play Barcelona on June 6, but the tactician warns there are still domestic commitments, such as the Coppa Italia. “It’s true that we have great enthusiasm now,” Allegri admitted in his Press conference ahead of the Inter game. “Making the Champions League final is a great achievement, but we mustn’t lose sight of a very important goal, the Coppa Italia, which Juventus haven’t won for 20 years. “Tomorrow we’ll go to San Siro with almost a full squad, because only [Martin] Caceres is on the treatment table, all the others are available. “We’ll go tonight by bus after training, and maybe I’ll give those who have played more the chance to catch their breath. [Carlos] Tevez, [Andrea] Pirlo, [Gigi] Buffon, [Patrice] Evra and [Arturo] Vidal will not be making the journey to San Siro. "I think Vidal is still at doping control in Spain, I don't think he made it home yet... “Let’s not forget we have the Coppa Italia final on Wednesday, which is the second important objective this season. “That said, it will be an important match tomorrow, because it always is, it’s Juventus-Inter. “They’re playing for the Europa League, and we must go to San Siro to play a good game, from a technical point of view, and also in our intensity. “You always have to play well at San Siro.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

Suarez bite in the past, says Chiellini The Juventus defender has downplayed suggestions the two are set to renew a personal rivalry in the Champions League final next month. May 15, 2015 Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini has downplayed suggestions the rivalry between him and Luiz Suarez will be reignited in the Champions League final. It will be the first time to two pair off since last year's World Cup, when Suarez bit Chiellini during Uruguay’s 1-0 group-stage victory over Italy in Natal. But Chiellini says both players have moved on from the incident that left Suarez with a four-month ban from the game. "I'll face Suarez as a great striker and nothing more, just as I did with all the others: [Cristiano] Ronaldo, [Gareth] Bale, [Karim] Benzema, Chicharito," Chiellini told Tuttosport . "Episodes like that in the summer help you mature, for both sides. Even on his part I think there is nothing other than the desire to win the Champions League." Italian champions Juventus booked a showdown with Barcelona at the showpiece in Berlin on June 6 thanks to a 1-1 draw with Real Madrid on Wednesday that saw them progress 3-2 aggregate. The clash will also see former Liverpool striker Suarez go up against Patrice Evra, a player Suarez was found guilty of racially abusing by the English Football Association during a 2011 Premier League game. Former Juventus defender and Uruguay international Paulo Montero says Suarez should relish the chance to impress against both players. "For Suarez there will be a motivation to face Evra and Chiellini again," he told AS . "It's his chance, I would suggest, to be cheeky – to lift the cup right in their faces. "With the way that Suarez is playing, Evra and Chiellini should be very worried." Suarez has hit 24 goals in 41 appearances, including 6 in 9 Champions League games, since joining Barcelona last summer.

INTER - JUVENTUS - Saturday, May 16th, 2015 - 6:00 p.m. Giuseppe Meazza Stadium (San Siro), Milan Referee: Daniele Doveri Mancini: ‘Forget Calciopoli’ May 15, 2015 Roberto Mancini says Inter and Juventus’ rivalry can’t be about Calciopoli anymore - ‘it’s ridiculous to talk about things that are in the past’. The Calciopoli scandal saw the Bianconeri demoted to Serie B, while the 2005/06 title was awarded to Mancini’s Inter. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Patrick Vieira also left Turin in favour of the Nerazzurri, and to this day Juve and their fans count 33 Scudetti, refusing to acknowledge the two revoked [the 2004/05 title was unassigned]. “I like games like this, because there’s so much more rivalry, and the stadium is full,” Mancini told Tuttosport ahead of the Derby d’Italia on Saturday. “By the way, I think the rivalry between Juventus and Inter has to go back to just being on a sporting level. “You have to concentrate on the 90 minutes, you can win or lose, but it’s time to give up all the other stupid stuff. “I think everyone should do something to get out of this situation. It’s ridiculous to talk about things which are in the past. “It can’t be done anymore.” The Beneamata have struggled this season, while the Old Lady are going from strength-to-strength, even reaching the Champions League final on Wednesday. “When there’s a need to rebuild, we must be patient, something which is unfortunately lacking in Italy. “We need patience to understand that winning cycles begin and then end, and when they end it takes time to rebuild. “It happened to Juve, who worked with great difficulties, and went through times which were not easy, and look what they’ve done in recent years, thanks to building a stadium of their own.” With Massimiliano Allegri’s team having exerted themselves in Europe on Wednesday, and with the Coppa Italia final to come in midweek, is this a good time to face them? “I don’t think so,” Mancini insisted. “Juve are used to playing every three days, they know how to play these games. “Even if they make some changes, those who go onto the pitch, as well as being fresher, will be motivated by the idea of proving that they can play in the team which has just reached the Champions League final.” http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111

INTER - JUVENTUS - Saturday, May 16th, 2015 - 6:00 p.m. Giuseppe Meazza Stadium (San Siro), Milan Referee: Daniele Doveri Inter - Juventus Preview: Top-six chasers face Champions League finalists Juventus will be full of confidence at Inter on Saturday, but may have one eye on next week's re-scheduled Coppa Italia final. May 15, 2015 Champions Juventus visit Inter on Saturday in high spirits after qualifying for a first Champions League final since 2003 in midweek. Juve - who wrapped up a fourth consecutive Serie A title earlier this month - reached the decider of Europe's elite club competition after coming from behind to draw 1-1 at Real Madrid on Wednesday. That saw them record a 3-2 aggregate victory and keep hopes of a historic treble alive for Massimiliano Allegri's men. Progression to the Champions League showpiece against Barcelona has already impacted the Italian football calendar, with the Coppa Italia final - which Juve will play Lazio in - shifted forward to next Wednesday. The match was originally slated for June 7, one day after the Champions League finale. Saturday's trip to Inter - just four days before the Coppa Italia final - means Juventus are likely to rotate players. And midfield maestro Claudio Marchisio acknowledged the Inter clash was not high on their priority list when he told the club's official website: "Our number one target at the moment is the Coppa Italia. "After that we can start thinking about the Champions League." Marchisio added that Allegri's squad was full of belief and self-confidence after an excellent result in the Spanish capital. "We pulled off a great win against a top team," he added. "The belief we have in ourselves now is something we've acquired gradually, starting from the group stage [of the Champions League]. "We've improved a lot and have seen the results this season." Juventus have stuttered slightly in the league of late, winning just three of their six matches as focus turned to winning more trophies. That will fill Inter with confidence - particularly given Allegri's men were held to a 1-1 home draw by relegation-threatened Cagliari last time out. Inter have finally hit form, unbeaten in seven in a run that has included four wins. That streak has been highlighted by successes against second-placed Roma and Lazio, who sit third, with Inter climbing to eighth. As a result, European football for next season is not beyond them. Roberto Mancini's men are just three points below fifth-placed Fiorentina. And with Juventus possibly distracted by talk of a treble, Inter's late push for a Europa League berth could receive another boost at San Siro. Inter last beat Juventus in November 2012, when Diego Milito's double helped them to a 3-1 away success. The champions have won two of the four matches since, but were held to a 1-1 home draw in January's league meeting. It was no surprise that the scorers on that occasion were Carlos Tevez for Juve and Mauro Icardi for the visitors. Tevez leads the Serie A scoring charts with 20, with Icardi third having netted 18 league goals. OPTA FACTS This will be the 164th meeting between Inter and Juventus in Serie A: the Old Lady leads by 77 wins to 45. The Nerazzurri have won only one of their last nine games against Juve in Serie A, losing five. Inter have scored exactly one goal in each of their last four meetings with Juve in the league. The Bianconeri are unbeaten at Inter’s ground since April 2010 (2W 2D). Inter are now unbeaten in seven league games (4W 3D) – their longest streak since December 2013. However, Roberto Mancini’s side have been held to a draw in four of their last five home games (1W). Juve have lost two of their last three away games, winning the other against Sampdoria. Inter have recorded the highest average possession figure in Serie A this season (60.4%).

Carlos Tévez will not be leaving Juventus this summer May 11, 2015 If Juventus striker Carlos Tévez was unclear that he would still be in Bianconeri colors next season, surely going through to the UEFA Champions League Final would have dissipated any lingering doubts. Tévez has long stated his aim to end his career at hometown club Boca Juniors in Buenos Aires. Though his contract runs through to the end of the 2015-16 season, there were rumors that the Argentine would like to return home sooner than later to end his career there. However, recently his agent Adrian Ruocco stated that Carlitos would honor his agreement with Juve before moving on. "The only guarantee is that Tévez wants to respect his contract with Juventus. We want to avoid further pressure on Tévez in a decisive moment of the season for him and Juventus. "As everyone knows, Tévez will end his career at Boca, there are no doubts about that. "However, he will return later on and we still need to see when, because he has a contract to respect. As of today, that contract is to 2016." Juventus will play Boca Juniors in a friendly game on June 18th at Juventus Stadium, with the clash being billed as the UNESCO Cup and all the proceeds from the fixture going towards charity. During the announcement for the game, Boca director Enzo Pagani stated that his club would respect Juventus and Tévez' wishes, while the door to Boca would always remain open for El jugador del pueblo (The player of the people). "It was reaffirmed to us in Buenos Aires again yesterday that Carlos has a contract until 2016 and Boca respect other clubs. We cannot do anything to interrupt this contract in advance. "If, once that agreement has expired, Carlos is available then we will all be delighted to welcome him to the Bombonera, which is his home. But it won't be before." But the ultimate confirmation came yesterday after Juve's heroic showing against Real Madrid, who they beat 3-2 on aggregate to confirm a date with another Spanish club Barcelona in the final of the Champions League. Speaking in the post-match interview where he lauded coach Max Allegri's spot-on tactics, Tévez laid to rest any questions about his immediate future. "I'm staying in Turin," he said. "Definitely." Rest easy this summer, Juventini, Tevez should still be with us next season.

INTER - JUVENTUS - Saturday, May 16th, 2015 - 6:00 p.m. Giuseppe Meazza Stadium (San Siro), Milan Referee: Daniele Doveri Preview: Inter vs. Juventus May 14, 2015 Juventus will head to rivals Inter Milan on Saturday evening in high spirits after reaching the Champions League final for the first time in 12 years this week. Juve, who wrapped up a fourth consecutive Serie A title earlier this month, reached the decider of Europe's elite club competition after coming from behind to draw 1-1 at Real Madrid on Wednesday. That saw them record a 3-2 aggregate victory and keep hopes of a historic treble alive, with the Coppa Italia final to come next weekend. Inter It has been a largely frustrating campaign for Inter this term, although it could end on a high note if Roberto Mancini's side continue their recent upturn in form in Serie A. The Nerazzurri had looked set for mid-table mediocrity, but a run of seven games without defeat has moved them to within three points of Fiorentina in fifth and a Europa League spot. Inter began a run of their next four matches coming against top-half teams by beating Lazio 2-1 last weekend, but Juventus could be a different proposition. Some supporters were questioning the decision to bring Roberto Mancini back to San Siro for a second spell as manager back in November, but Inter's recent form suggests that the former Manchester City boss is beginning to make his mark. Mancini has stated that he is hoping to challenge for the Scudetto next season and if they can pick up positive results in their final three games of the campaign, especially against Juve, it will provide a huge boost ahead of the next campaign. Recent form: W D W W D W Juventus It has been a memorable week for Juventus supporters, with the club enjoying success in Europe and keeping their hopes of landing a historic treble alive. Juve overcame Real Madrid 3-2 on aggregate in the semi-finals of the Champions League on Wednesday evening to set up a clash against Barcelona in the final. Alvaro Morata scored the decisive goal to secure a 1-1 draw at Santiago Bernabeu and send the Italian champions through to their first final since 2003. With the title wrapped up, Allegri will turn his attention to the Coppa Italia final against Lazio on Wednesday along with their Champions League showdown with Barcelona, so he could look to give fringe players the opportunity to impress during the final league games of the season. Recent form: W W W D W D Recent form (all competitions): L W W W D D Team News Inter will be without midfielder Fredy Guarin, who has been ruled out for the rest of the season after succumbing to a hamstring injury. Mancini might be tempted to shuffle his midfield around as a result, with Yuto Nagatomo in line to start. Lukas Podolski and Xherdan Shaqiri both had to settle for a place on the bench against Lazio for the second week in a row, so they will be hoping to earn a recall to the starting XI. Following their heroics against Real in midweek, Allegri will more than likely rest a few of his key players. This could mean that Roberto Pereyra, Alessandro Matri and Fernando Llorente are given starts. Paul Pogba, who had been out since March 18 with a thigh problem, started against Real in midweek. The Frenchman played 89 minutes in Spain and thus may be named among the substitutes for this one. Inter possible starting lineup: Handanovic; D'Ambrosio, Vidic, Ranocchia, Juan; Medel, Kovacic, Shaqiri, Nagatomo; Icardi, Palacio Juventus possible starting lineup: Buffon; Padoin, Bonucci, Chiellini; De Ceglie, Vidal, Marchisio, Sturaro, Pereyra; Matri, Llorente Head To Head Juve have enjoyed the better record when the sides have met in recent seasons. Inter last beat them in November 2012, when Diego Milito's double helped them to a 3-1 success away from home. The champions have won two of the four matches since. They earned a 1-1 draw on their last visit to San Siro and were held by the same scoreline in the reverse fixture earlier this campaign at the Juventus Stadium. We say: Inter Milan 1-1 Juventus Inter Milan still have something to play for, domestically at least, and they need three points to maintain their hopes of qualifying for the Europa League next season. Juventus's focus is now on the two cup competitions that they remain in, so Allegri will not be too concerned if his side fail to win here. Given Inter's fine form of late, they should be at least capable enough of taking a point off the champions. http://www.goal.com/en/results-standings/69/italy-serie-a/table?ICID=SP_TN_111
