Nerazzurri host the Old Lady at the Stadio Meazza on Sunday in what’s seen as the biggest game in Serie A in 2023-24.
Alle yes will be on San Siro on Sunday when the Nerazzurri face their black and white Serie A rivals, hoping to secure a victory that would allow them to move closer to their 20th Scudetto in history and a historical ‘second star’ on their chest from the 2024-25 campaign.

On paper, the Nerazzurri have an edge on the Bianconeri as they don’t only get to the game as the table leaders, but they also have the most prolific attack and the less beaten defence in 21 matches They also have a game in hand, so if they beat Juventus on Sunday, they’ll move four points clear of the Old Lady with a chance to go +7 if they beat Atalanta at home on February 28 in the rescheduled fixture from Round 21.
On the other hand, however, all the pressure will be on Simone Inzaghi and his men who already saw Milan and Napoli lift the Scudetto over the last two seasons despite being regarded as favourites at the start of 2021-22 and 2022-23 campaigns.
Both Inter and Juventus earned 13 points in their last five outings in Serie A, but while Juventus were held to a 1-1 draw by Empoli at the Allianz Stadium in their most recent league game, the Nerazzurri beat top-four contenders Fiorentina at the Stadio Franchi thanks to another Lautaro Martinez goal.
The Argentinean forward is Serie A’s Capocannoniere with 19 goals in 19 matches, and even if Juventus star striker Dusan Vlahovic has managed 12 in 20 games, he netted seven times in his last six appearances in the league.
Inter-Juventus will also be a game between the best defences in the league. Inter’s Yann Sommer has only conceded 10 times in 21 games, while Juventus have conceded just three times more – 13 – in 22 matches. Sommer and Wojciech Szczesny are also the goalkeepers with the most clean sheets so far: 13 for the Switzerland international and 11 for the Pole.
Inter and Juventus defenders also made the Best XI for the first half of the Serie A campaign, with Federico Dimarco and Francesco Acerbi named by OPTA for the Nerazzurri and Danilo and Gleison Bremer for Juventus.
Performances, results and experience may suggest Inter are favourite against the Old Lady, but Max Allegri’s men have proved to be up to the task and will surely fight hard at the Meazza on Sunday to keep the title race open.
