Juventus vs Inter Milan Prediction
Despite Juve having the home advantage, Inter will not make it easy on the Old Lady. A win for the host means the Nerazzurri relinquish the top spot hence Inzaghi will do everything possible to return from Allianz Stadium with at least a point.
Goals from both sides should also be expected from both teams who have found the back of the net in their last five games.
