Prediction: 1-1
Inter
There will be fireworks when Juventus and Inter face each other in the Serie A derby on Sunday evening. The Bianconeri are on a three-game winning run in all competitions and they must be high on confidence following the Champions League triumph over PSV. January signing Randal Kolo Muani should keep his place up front as a lone centre-forward, with Dusan Vlahovic once again coming as a substitute. All Bremer, Kalulu, Cambiaso, Milik, and Cabal should miss out with injuries.
The Nerazzurri, on the other hand, did well to get their revenge on Fiorentina, with the team beating Viola 2-1 in front of home fans. Beating Juve at Allianz Stadium, though, is easier said than done and that is the main reason why we are going to place our bets on draw. The good news for the away team is that wing-back Denzel Dumfries is back from suspension, while striker Marcus Thuram has overcome his injury. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards in Derby d’Italia.
Highlighted Player (Hakan Calhanoglu):
Hakan Calhanoglu is another one in the long line of Turkish footballers who were born in Germany, so it is hardly surprising he came to prominence thanks to his performances in Bundesliga. The attacking midfielder with great vision and very good goalscoring record started his professional career at Karlsruher, scoring impressive 17 goals in 50 league outings to earn a move to Bundesliga side Hamburg.
The spell at Imtech Arena was merely a stepping stone for bigger things as 11 goals in his debut top flight campaign persuaded Bayer Leverkusen to splash nearly €15 million on his services. That proved a very good investment as Calhanoglu continued the rich vein of form, and it is now a matter of time before he joins one of European powerhouses.
The midfield maestro had a bright start to his career in the Turkey national team, scoring 5 goals in first 16 caps, and chances are he will become a leader for Milli Takim in the foreseeable future.
Highlighted Team (Juventus):
Juventus are considered one of the greatest European football clubs. The Bianconeri (The White and Blacks) have won two Champions League trophies (1985, 1996) and they did well to clinch three UEFA Cup titles (1977, 1990, 1993). The Italian giants have won 32 Serie A trophies and it is well known that a number of star players were part of Juve in the past.
The likes of Alessandro Del Piero, Zinedine Zidane, Michel Platini, Lilian Thuram, Filippo Inzaghi, Pavel Nedved and David Trezeguet all played for Juventus, whilst legendary goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has yet to retire. Juve were stripped two domestic trophies during the “Calciopoli” scandal, but despite being relegated to Serie B, the club quickly brought glory days back to Turin. The Bianconeri used to play their home games at Stadio delle Alpi, but nowadays they welcome their rivals at Juventus Stadium.
The capacity of the stadium is 41,475. La Vechhia Signora (The Old Lady) is yet another nickname of the club. Juve’s biggest rivals are Torino and the two local rivals take on each other in the Turin derby.
