The big Derby d’Italia clash will expectedly be a sold-out affair as Inter Milan and Juventus battle it out in a direct Scudetto showdown at San Siro.
The Nerazzurri will host their arch-rivals who are only trailing by a single point in the title race, albeit after playing an extra match.
Therefore, this will be a crucial encounter with major implications for the Serie A campaign as a whole.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInterNews, the tickets are already sold out for Sunday’s affair as one would expect for such a grand occasion.
The pink newspaper expects the box-office revenue to reach circa 6 million euros.
But while this figure may seem hefty, it won’t break the Serie A record, as the source tells it.
The report tips the Derby d’Italia contested between Inter and Juventus in October 2019 to maintain the record. At the time, the showdown yielded 6.6 million euros.
Inter Milan & Juventus Clash At San Siro Could Generate Around 6 Million Euros In Box-Office Revenues
At the moment, two Derby della Madonnina encounters complete the podium.
The 5-1 demolition of AC Milan at the start of the season lands in second place with a gross revenue of 6.2 million euros.
On the other hand, the meeting between the crosstown rivals in March 2019 generated 5.8 million.
Therefore, if Sunday’s clash yields around 6 million euros as estimated, it would break into the podium the all-time Serie A fixtures.
But regardless of the figures, what matters the most for Simone Inzaghi’s men is to record a positive result that puts them on the right track towards the club’s 20th Scudetto title.
The encounter kicks off on Sunday at 20:45 CET.
