Sports betting players will be treated to another edition of the Derby d’Italia this weekend when Inter Milan heads to Turin to face a struggling Juve side that returns home after a couple of road losses. Even being at home may not save them against a rampant Inter side.
Inter Milan vs Juventus
Saturday, December 5
Olimpico Grande Torino, Turin, Italy
Kick-Off: 2:45 PM ET
Inter
The Nerazzuri leads Serie A by seven points over rivals AC Milan, and they lead the league in goals scored and fewest allowed. It’s tough to find a weakness in their game, as attacking players Diego Milito, Samuel E’to and the injured Wesley Sneijder have all played very well since joining the club in the summer. Captain Javier Zanetti and keeper Julio Cesar are at the heart of Italy’s best defense.
Juve
The “Old Lady” of Italian football has lost two in a row, but they’ll be happy to get David Trezeguet back in the lineup after a month of injury. Juve badly needs someone who can finish in front of goal, as Mauro Camoranesi and Diego are willing playmakers, but they need a striker to put the ball in the net. The defense has been shaky recently, especially away from home.
Inter vs Juve Odds and Prediction
Juve are the home favorites at +150, while Inter is rated at +170 and a draw comes in at +200. Inter has won four and drawn three of their last 10 against Juve, including two wins and a draw away from home, so they’re not afraid to go into a hostile environment. Inter has been the class of Serie A since Juve’s match-fixing scandal of a few years ago, and from front to back, they’re a much better team than the “Old Lady”, who may need the showing of a lifetime just to get a draw.
