Unconvincing Inter Meet Defending Champions
LEAGUE: Italian Serie A
GAME: Inter Milan vs Juventus
LOCATION: San Siro
DATE: Sunday 18/9
TIME: 18:00
Following the removal of Roberto Mancini as manager of Inter Milan prior to the start of the new season, the once giants of Italian football have found things tough in Serie A. Dutchman, Frank De Boer, who has come in to replace Mancini, has been dealt a reality check at the start of this campaign, which looks set to be another battle just to make the Champions League places. The dramatic last gasp win over Pescara last weekend, will help to lift spirits ahead of this match against the dominant force in Italian football.
Juventus have had no such problems at the start of their Serie A campaign, winning three out of three and sitting top of the league table as a result. The three games played by Juventus this season have not been easy, coming up against Fiorentina and Sassuolo at home and Lazio away. However, Max Allegri’s team have come out on top in each of them and new signing, Gonzalo Higuain worked very well with Paulo Dybala up-front last weekend and that’s an ominous sign for the rest of Serie A.
In the last 50 meetings between the teams, Juventus have come out on top in 23, with Inter winning 10 and 17 ending in a draw.

Difficult to Back Inter
The way Inter Milan have started the season in Serie A, it’s difficult to back them in a match against any team in the league, never mind the defending champions, Juventus. Having been held by Palermo in their only home Serie A match to date, only Mauro Icardi appears to playing to his full potential at the moment. Juventus, with their new additions slotting into the team nicely, are undefeated in 7 games against Inter in Serie A and this run is set to continue.

Higuain to Deliver the Goods
During pre-season, Gonzalo Higuain looked like a man who was struggling for match fitness, however, having been given his chance in the starting XI last weekend, he didn’t disappoint. The Argentine striker scored in the 4th and 10th minute, which allowed Juventus to take control of the game against Sassuolo. Expect to see him start again at the San Siro and really earn a place in the hearts of the Juventus fans, by scoring the opening goal of the game.
