The history of direct confrontations disputed in this stadium is favorable to the home team, which in the last 5 matches won 2, drew 2 and lost 1.

Perišić (78’) scored the goals of the match for Internazionale and S. Lichtsteiner (66 ‘) for Juventus. Juventus presents considerable differences in their results at home and as a visitor, so in this game the home factor may be decisive.
Inter:
After 18 wins, 12 draws and 4 losses, the home team is currently in the 5th position, with 66 points won. In the last match, they won in an away match against Chievo by (1-2), after in the previous match they won (4-0) at home, against Cagliari. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 10 conceded; against 8 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 28 goals scored and 11 conceded. In the last 10 home matches for the championship the Internazionale won 5, tied 4 and lost 1, so they have won 19 points out of 30 possible. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half-time was the 0-0 (6 out of 17 matches). Their defense has been very strong, since they only suffered goals in 3 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 34 matches in the competition, they suffered the first goal 8 times and only managed 1 comeback.
The Internazionale is a team that has already won the Italian Championship for eighteen times throughout its history, being the most recent title in the 2009/10 season. In the current season, the team is struggling to stay at the top of the table of the Italian league, being currently one point behind the fourth classified, Lazio, and within the qualifying zone for the Europa League. Playing at home, the Internazionale have a very efficient defense, as they did not suffer any goals in the last four games played at home by the Italian league. We believe that in this match, by playing against the leader of the national championship, the Internazionale will be even more attentive in their defense and very defensively secure, especially in the first half, thus preventing the first part of the game having many goals.
Juventus:
After 27 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, the away team is currently in the 1 st position, with 85 points won. In the penultimate match, they tied in a match against Crotone, by (1-1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Napoli, by (0-1). This is a team that, oddly enough, was better outside than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 13 wins and 2 draws as a visitor; against 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses at their stadium.
For this competition, they have not lost any of the last 11 away matches. In their home matches there are a few frequent results at half-time: 0-1 (6 out of 17 matches) and 0-0 (6 out of 17 matches). Their attack has scored regularly, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that usually scores many times first: it opened the scoring in 27 of its last 34 games for Serie A, of these 27 it reached the halftime advantage in 20 and managed to maintain the advantage until the end of the 90 ‘in 24 In 34 matches in this tournament, they have conceded the first goal 5 times, but have turned the score around in 3. In the last 17 home matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 14 goals between the minutes (46 minutes) -60 ‘).
Juventus is a great Italian club, which has dominated the national league in recent years, with thirty-four titles in Serie A, in addition to having won the Italian title in the last six seasons. The Juventus team has performed very well defensively away from home, as in the last ten games as a visitor suffered goals in only three of them. Juventus is a team that defends itself very well and has a lot of possession during its games. By visiting Inter, which is a very strong team, should give even more attention to its defensive sector. We believe that in this match both teams will have a lot of defensive care, especially in the first half, so in the first half of the match there will not be many goals.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1.84
