Juventus predicted lineup vs Inter Milan: Match Preview

The Bianconeri are unbeaten in 4 matches across competitions after suffering a defeat at home against Fiorentina in the league. Juventus were docked 6 points during that loss, as the Serie A simultaneously announced that Juve’s clash with Napoli would be rescheduled instead of awarding 3 points to the Old Lady after Napoli failed to report to the game due to concerns over COVID-19 earlier in the season. The pressure is piling up on new manager Pirlo, who will do well to remember that his predecessor Maurizio Sarri was sacked even after lifting the Scudetto in his first season.

Juventus last played Genoa at home in the Coppa Italia Round of 16. Juve took the lead at the Allianz Stadium, after young winger Dejan Kulusevski found the back of the net after latching on to a brilliant through ball from center-back Giorgio Chiellini. Kulusevski was again involved, when he threaded a beautiful first-time through pass into the path of striker Alvaro Morata, who then found the bottom corner past Genoa keeper Paleari. However, Genoa hit back with goals from Lennart Czyborra and later Filippo Melegoni. The game went into extra time, but 21-year old Tunisian player Hamza Rafia scored the winner for the Bianconeri who finished from close range after a cut-back from Morata.

Juventus, who finished runners-up in last season’s Coppa Italia, progressed to the next stage of the competition thanks to Hamza Rafia’s late winner. They will be playing SPAL at home in the Coppa Italia Quater-Final later this month. Their league opponents Inter, also won their Coppa fixture, beating Fiorentina 1-2 away from home thanks to a late extra time winner from Romelu Lukaku.

We expect Andrea Pirlo to go with a 4-3-3, which will provide more stability in attack and defence. Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to return to the starting lineup, after coming off the bench in the 88th minute against Genoa. He will be supported by Alvaro Morata and Dejan Kulusevski in attack. Captain Giorgio Chiellini could partner Merih Demiral in defence, with the returning Alex Sandro and Juan Cuadrado on either flanks. Here is our Juventus predicted lineup vs Inter Milan:

Juventus predicted lineup vs Inter Milan: Score Prediction

Although Juve are in good form, we expect this game to be a close encounter with the home team coming out on top at the end, but not without struggle. Inter are in great form and are just 3 points off the top of the table. We predict a 2-1 win for Inter Milan. However, Cristiano Ronaldo could be on the scoresheet, continuing his fine form in the league this season.
