Round 25: Inter Milan vs. Juventus match preview As much as the looming Champions League tie against Galatasaray is something that has been on our radar for the last couple of weeks, the same can’t be said about the second meeting of the 2025-26 season against Inter Milan. That is simply because the Derby d’Italia is something you have circled on your calendar for months, and based on how the first matchup went, the second one was always going to be an important measuring stick for both sides of Italy’s biggest rivalry. Of course, a lot has happened since that mid-September fixture that saw a seven-goal thriller go the way of Juventus. That win proved to be one of the last ones that Igor Tudor recorded as Juventus manager before being fired all of five weeks later. Yes, the same Tudor who is about to become an interim manager for the second straight season, this time at Tottenham Hotspur with a few Juventus players of the past. ............ So now, five months after that first meeting that ended with Vasilije Adžić sending the Allianz Stadium into an absolute frenzy with his hammer of a game-winning goal, Juventus and Inter meet again, this time for a Valentine’s Day showdown at the stadium that just hosted the Opening Ceremony for the Winter Olympics. ............ Juventus are certainly an improved team under Luciano Spalletti heading into Saturday night’s matchup with the Serie A leaders. Inter are maybe even more of a case of a team finding serious form over the last couple of months and have been able to build an eight-point advantage over city rivals AC Milan entering Matchday 25. (That was cut to five points with Milan’s victory over Pisa on Luka Modric’s late game-winning goal because that’s just what a world-class player at age 40 is capable of sometimes.) Both teams are better than they were the first time the Derby d’Italia was on the schedule. But the question is: Can the current version of Juventus, one that is coming off a loss to Atalanta in the Coppa Italia and a frustrating draw with Lazio last weekend, get the better of the current version of Cristian Chivu’s Inter? We know how the last couple of outings for Juventus have been more about what they haven’t done despite being far from a side that has played poorly. What about Inter? What have they done recently? Well, let’s take a look … Inter have won 11 of their last 12 games in Serie A. Inter have kept a clean sheet in five of their last seven games in Serie A. In six of their last eight games in Serie A, Inter have been able to build a lead heading into halftime. In their last three Serie A victories, Inter have scored a combined total of 13 goals and allowed all of one. That is a team on form. No matter what they’ve done in Europe — and, just like Juventus, they have a Champions League play-off round matchup to think of in a few days, too — they’re absolutely the most in-form team in Serie A these days and there’s no real alternate contender to try and convince you otherwise. ............ Based simply on results from the past 180 or so minutes of football last week, Juventus are in need of a major bounce back to get back on track. With their draw to Lazio and Roma’s win over Cagliari 24 hours later, Juventus now have company on 46 points entering the weekend. Considering Roma play a desperate Napoli team, there’s a chance for a little bit of help if Juventus were to get the win at San Siro on Saturday night. But that involves Juventus winning — which against such an in-form like Inter is going to even more complicated of a possibility as heading to Milan usually is to begin with. Then again, Juve have won the last two head-to-head matchups against Inter and will be going for a third this weekend. Three is a trend — and that is something that we can most certainly support if it continues. TEAM NEWS In an interesting twist that could be the case for the foreseeable future, Spalletti did not hold a pre-match press conference, with the club reportedly insisting on the Tuscan manager focusing on the game(s) ahead rather than having to deal with multiple media obligations ahead of Saturday’s Derby d’Italia. So, if you were hoping to get squad updates in classic Spalletti fashion, you’re out of luck. Instead of Spalletti holding a pre-match press conference, Juventus had captain Manuel Locatelli take to the mic and talk with the media to preview Saturday’s showdown with Inter. As you can probably guess, it’s a little different kind of press conference with Locatelli as compared to a manager like Spalletti. When it comes to squad news, we do know that Khephren Thuram is suddenly a doubt to face Inter after picking up a bone bruise in training on Friday. He will be re-evaluated on Saturday morning prior to the squad’s departure for Milan. If Thuram is to miss Saturday’s derby against his brother’s team, it will likely be Teun Koopmeiners stepping in and starting alongside Locatelli. ............ Other than the worries about Thuram’s fitness, the only real lineup decision that Spalletti looks to have is if he will stick with his 4-2-3-1 formation or if he will switch to a three-man backline to mirror Inter’s 3-5-2. If he does go to a three-man backline, that likely means Weston McKennie starts ahead of Francisco Conceição as one of the two attacking midfielders behind Jonathan David. Just as was the case last weekend against Lazio, both Locatelli and Weston McKennie — two very important players for Spalletti these days! — are one yellow card away from having to serve a one-game suspension. JUVENTUS PLAYER TO WATCH ............ In Juventus’ loss to Atalanta and draw to Lazio, a certain Gleison Bremer hasn’t exactly been all that impressive. That in of itself is notable because Bremer and his broad shoulders are usually incredibly impressive — and that’s not just me trying to work in the fact that he is an incredibly handsome man. He’s very good at his job. Unfortunately, that hasn’t exactly been the case lately, and that is something that will need to change for the better if Juventus want a chance to claim a second straight win over their most-hated rival. But if Bremer’s not at his usual level, then it could be a long night. ............ MATCH INFO When: Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026. Where: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, Milan, Italy.

Serie A Preview: Inter vs Juventus – Team News, Lineups & Prediction Inter maintained their dominant Serie A form with a stunning 5-0 victory at newly promoted Sassuolo last weekend. In addition to extending their lead over second-placed Milan to eight points, they have now won five consecutive league matches for the second time this season. ............ Juventus claimed bragging rights in this match-up earlier this season under Igor Tudor. Now it’s up to Luciano Spalletti to help the record-time Italian champions complete their first league double over the Nerazzurri since the 2022/23 season. It could prove a season-defining result for the visitors, whose top-four hopes are hanging in the balance. Level on points with fifth-placed Roma, Juventus had to pull off a sensational late comeback to avoid defeat against Lazio last Sunday, drawing 2-2 at home. Yet, it was no comfort for the Turin faithful following a disappointing 3-0 loss at Atalanta in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals. Match Preview Inter ............ Juventus Juventus’ recent drop-off has seen them pick up just one win across their last four competitive games (D2, L1), courtesy of a 4-1 rout of bottom-half Parma in Serie A. Keen to get back to winning ways after clinching a last-gasp draw against Lazio, Juventus will be out to address their travel sickness. Spalletti’s charges have failed to get on the scoresheet in three of their last four away matches across all competitions (W1, D1, L2). Breaking that ominous trend could prove easier said than done, given that the visitors have lost three away league encounters against current top-eight sides this season. Therefore, Juventus must seek a fast start at Meazza, not least because they’ve lost all four road fixtures when conceding the opening goal in Serie A this term. An opener may not necessarily set them up for success, but it would likely bring them closer to securing three successive top-flight wins over Inter for the first time since 2013. Team News Chivu has received a double injury boost ahead of this mouth-watering fixture, with Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu resuming full training during midweek. ............ On the other hand, Jonathan David is likely to lead the line for Juventus as Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik remain on the sidelines. Francisco Conceicao will be at Spalletti’s disposal after missing the match against Lazio. However, Khephren Thuram could start from the bench due to a minor fitness problem. Inter vs Juventus Potential Starting Lineups Inter (3-5-2): Sommer; Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni; Henrique, Barella, Zielinski, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Martinez. Juventus (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Koopmeiners; Conceicao, McKennie, Yildiz; David. Inter vs Juventus Prediction With the home crowd and momentum firmly on their side, Inter will be confident about ending their ‘big game’ Serie A drought under Chivu. However, Juventus have had the Nerazzurri’s number in recent meetings, and given what’s at stake for both sides, this fiercely contested Derby d’Italia could ultimately finish all square.

Locatelli assures that Juventus knows what is at stake tomorrow Manuel Locatelli understands the magnitude of the occasion as Juventus prepare to face Inter Milan, and he will be eager to guide the Old Lady to a significant result in what promises to be a decisive encounter. Juventus have performed well in phases this season, yet Inter Milan sit at the summit of the league table for a reason and will be determined to underline their credentials in this fixture. The Bianconeri have shown inconsistency at times, something they must now address if they are to maintain momentum and compete strongly in the latter stages of the campaign. ............ Locatelli has made it clear that the squad are fully aware of what is required. He said, “We know the importance of the match at all levels, we know their strength, they have a great coach and have been playing together for a long time and are mature. We lacked this maturity a bit; we should have won some games, even dirty ones. We are more aware and confident. We must have this personality and put in a great performance tomorrow.” ............ .
