The Matchday 3 Serie A clash between Juventus and Inter will take place on September 13 at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. Juventus vs. Inter: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Juventus
In the previous round, Igor Tudor's side defeated Genoa away (1-0). This victory marked Juventus's fourth consecutive win in Serie A, with the team keeping a clean sheet in three of these matches. However, the Turin club has failed to score more than two goals in 16 of their last 17 league games. In the standings, Juventus shares the top spot with Napoli, both having six points and an identical goal difference (3-0). Additionally, Juventus is one of only three clubs yet to concede in the current Serie A season.
Notably, before this round, midfielder Edon Zhegrova and forward Lois Openda joined the club.
- The team has won 9 of their last 10 home Serie A matches.
- At least one opponent failed to score in 7 of the last 8 home league games.
- Juventus scored exactly 1 or 2 goals in 7 of their last 8 home league matches.
Predicted lineup for Juventus (3-4-3)
Michele Di Gregorio – Pierre Kalulu, Bremer, Federico Gatti – Joao Mario, Manuel Locatelli, Khephren Thuram, Lloyd Kelly – Francisco Conceicao, Jonathan David, Kenan Yildiz.
Defender Juan Cabal will not play due to injury, and forward Francisco Conceicao's participation is doubtful due to an injury sustained while on international duty. Defender Andrea Cambiaso is suspended.
Inter
Christian Chivu's side unexpectedly lost at home to Udinese (1-2) in the last round. As a result, Inter suffered their first defeat in six Serie A matches (4 wins, 1 draw). Furthermore, the club conceded more than one goal for only the second time in their last nine league games. Inter has three points and is in sixth place in the standings. Notably, the team has scored more goals than any other in the current Serie A season – six goals.
Before this round, Inter signed defender Manuel Akanji.

Match Prediction: Juventus vs. Inter
Juventus has started the current championship impeccably and, in my opinion, is capable of continuing their successful run at home. Especially since Juventus has recently often achieved maximum results at home, with nine wins in their last ten home Serie A matches. Additionally, the club kept a clean sheet in seven of these games.
Inter, on the other hand, struggles with away matches: in their last nine away league encounters, the team has only three victories (3 draws, 3 losses). Moreover, in two of these wins, Inter faced mid-table teams from last season's Serie A – Como and Torino. It's also worth noting that Inter has won only once in their last 12 league meetings with Juventus at their home ground (3 draws, 8 losses).
I expect a strong performance from Juventus in this match, and my prediction: Juventus with a handicap (0)
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their previous match in this tournament.
