After an eventful few months since they last met in November, old rivals Inter Milan and Juventus contest the 180th Serie A Derby d’Italia on Sunday.

Both sides progressed in Europe this week, but Inter lead Juve by a big margin in the standings following the Old Lady’s points penalty and have held the upper hand in recent meetings.

Players to watch: Ahead of the round, no player has scored more SA home goals in 2023 than the four managed by Lautaro Martínez, all of which either opened or closed the scoring. Juventus’ Adrien Rabiot is one of those players he is tied with and the Frenchman opened the scoring in Juve’s 2-0 win in the reverse H2H.

Hot stat: Inter are one of just two SA sides not to trail a home league game at half-time this season. (HT: W8, D5).

Inter Milan possible starting lineup:

Onana; Darmian, De Vrij, Acerbi; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Martinez, Lukaku

Juventus possible starting lineup:

Szczesny; Danilo, Bremer, Gatti; De Sciglio, Fagioli, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Di Maria; Vlahovic

Inter Milan 2-2 Juventus

Inter have lost three of their last six Serie A matches following Champions League fixtures – including both of their last two – but they have had two days more to recover from their travels than Juventus.

In their final game before the international break, both sides will empty the tank in pursuit of Derby d’Italia glory, and there could well be a share of the spoils after an absorbing encounter at San Siro.
