Inter can really hammer the final nail in Juve’s season’s coffin with a near historic win in Turin over the weekend. Match today at 18:00 CET.

It has been a while since Inter traveled to Turin as almost favorites. The Nerazzurri have been the Zebretti’s whipping boys for a very long time, with the last Inter win in Turin come almost nine years ago.

Having just destroyed Sampdoria and Roma, the Inter wrecking crew travel north in high spirits and will be relishing the prospect of depriving Juventus top tier European football next season.

Antonio Conte rotated his team quite comprehensively in the aforementioned two matches, but expect him to bring out the big guns here.

The top shelf midfield trio of Nicolo Barella, Marcelo Brozovic and Christian Eriksen will likely start, flanked by Ivan Perisic and Achraf Hakimi.

Juventus will also be fielding a full strength side, the only problem for them is that Andrea Pirlo has often (particularly in the big matches) seemed unable to find answers in tactics, motivation or simple coaching.

The Bianconeri know that the result here can be do or die for their Champions League qualification prospects and so will need no extra motivation to want to beat the visitors, but this carefree victorious Inter has simply been unstoppable.
