"Sat firmly in the driving seat to recapture their domestic crown this season, Cristian Chivu's side are enjoying what has become another extended purple patch and they will be confident of claiming a heavyweight scalp on home soil this weekend. While Juventus might have opened up the New Year dreaming of the chance to mount a genuine title charge, the Old Lady have shown some recent inconsistencies and they will be bracing themselves for another stern examination when they travel to their arch-rivals."
"Signing off their Champions League group stage campaign with a 2-0 victory away at German giants Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan have won all of their previous five appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 17-3. Finding a real clinical edge in the final third, Chivu's runaway title contenders have suffered just a sole Serie A defeat at the San Siro since the end of August."
"Inter looking to widen their buffer Left hugely frustrated last season as they relinquished their Serie A crown and eventually had to settle for a silver medal finish among Italy's elite, Chivu had a huge amount of expectations on his shoulders when he arrived at the San Siro over the summer. However, opening this weekend's fixtures holding a commanding eight-point buffer over the chasing pack, the Nerazzurri will be confident of laying down another title marker here."
Inter Milan host Juventus at the San Siro on Saturday night. Inter lead Serie A by eight points and seek to extend their advantage under Cristian Chivu. Inter have won five consecutive matches across competitions, scoring 17 and conceding 3, including 5-0 at Sassuolo and 2-0 at Borussia Dortmund. Inter possess a clinical edge in attack and have suffered only one Serie A home defeat since late August. Juventus have shown recent inconsistencies after earlier hopes of a title challenge and will face a stern examination away to their historic rivals.
