Both teams to score – yes

Inter got back to winning ways in the Serie A title race last week with a hard-fought win over Fiorentina at the San Siro on Monday.

Simone Inzaghi’s side had lost to the same opponents just four days earlier, marking just their second league defeat of the season, so it was important that they got back on track in a nip-and-tuck battle with Napoli at the top of the table.

However, their defensive woes continued on Monday, with Inter conceding for the third league game in a row and the fifth time in the last six games. That is a marked difference to their defensive form prior to the winter break, when they conceded once in five league games before the end of 2024.

Juventus, on the other hand, have scored in all but one of their last 17 games in all competition and should be fairly confident of breaching the Inter defence in front of their own fans on Sunday.

At the other end, Juventus have kept just two clean sheets in their last 12 games in all competitions and do not look capable of keeping a title-chasing side out for 90 minutes.

Both teams will fancy their chances of scoring on Sunday and after playing out a thrilling 4-4 draw earlier in the season, it would not be a major surprise if there are goals on Sunday.

Lautaro Martinez to have 2 or more shots on target

Lautaro Martinez may trail Marcus Thuram in league goals scored for Inter Milan this season, but it is not for lack of trying.

The Argentinian forward averages 3.3 shots per game in the league this season, by far the most of any Inter player and significantly more than Thuram’s average of 2.1 per game.

Martinez has now failed to score in three straight league games after scoring in three consecutive games at the end of January.

He will surely be keen to get on the scoresheet on Sunday and is good value to find the target at least twice during his quest to end that mini-goal drought.

 

Inter to win, Inter most shots on target, Inter most corners, and Juventus most cards

This game is simply more important to Inter than it is to Juventus right now.

Inter find themselves locked in a title race that looks set to go down to the wire, with just a point separating them from league leaders Napoli at present. Any dropped points could have huge ramifications between now and May.

Juventus, on the other hand, have the sizeable distraction of a second leg tie against PSV on Wednesday and do not find themselves in the title race. Boasting a slender 2-1 lead, it would be fair to assume that they will have one eye on that return leg.

Inter should be poised to strike and can claim a statement away victory against a side that has only lost once all season.

Juventus’s league challenge has been plagued by draws and perhaps not going for it enough, with Thiago Motta’s side scoring 17 fewer league goals than Inter this season.

They average fewer shots per game than Inter too, with Inzaghi’s side averaging a league-high 15.7 efforts per game.

Inter also boast the highest average possession in the league and have faced the fewest average shots, so it stands to reason that they are likely to shade the shot and corner battles on Sunday.

Inter also boast the second-best disciplinary record in Italy, receiving just 35 bookings in 24 games. Juventus’s record is not much worse by any means, with Motta’s side collecting 40 bookings and a red card in the same period, but they do also average more fouls per game, especially at home. Juventus average 12.4 fouls per game in Turin, while Inter average just 11.1 fouls per game on their travels.

All signs point to Juventus accumulating more cards on Sunday.
