The Derby d’Italia is one of the biggest games in Italy and you can be sure both sides will want to take full advantage, as first placed Juventus host Inter Milan in third.
Juve are out to equal the record points haul from the first 15 games in any of Europe’s big five leagues with a win, a record held by Manchester City. Their record stands at 13 wins from 14 outings.
Inter Milan meanwhile are fresh from their 2-2 draw away to Roma last weekend. They have had a tough run of late, which included defeats to Atalanta and Tottenham, along with draws against Barcelona and Roma. The visitors are surely going to have a tough time matching one of the top sides in Europe.
