There are plenty of exciting games to look forward to across Europe this weekend but arguably the biggest match this week is the Derby d'Italia between Inter Milan and Juventus in Serie A.
The match will take place at the San Siro and hosts begin the weekend in third place on 17 points while the visitors are in 7th place on 14 points.
Inter Milan come into the match on the back of a 3-1 home victory over Sheriff in the Champions League on Tuesday night. The Italian club opened the scoring after 34 minutes but it appeared the team from Moldova were going to cause another upset in the Champions league this season as they equalised 7 minutes after half time.
However, Inter Milan had other ideas and scored two goals in the space of 5 minutes to seal the victory.
That was just the second win for Inter Milan in their last 5 matches in all competitions. The previous victory came away against Sassuolo in Serie A and Inter Milan won the match 2-1.
Prior to that win, Inter Milan were held at home by Atalanta in Serie A and at Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League. There was also a 3-1 defeat at Lazio, which came in Serie A last weekend.
Trends show Inter Milan are unbeaten in all of their last 20 home matches in Serie A. In their last 7 matches from Serie A, Inter Milan have seen both teams score.
Juventus make the trip to the San Siro having picked up maximum points in a narrow 1-0 win at Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The only goal of the game came in the 86th minute and that strike ensured Juventus continued their winning run of matches which now stands at 7 games in all competitions.
In terms of Serie A, Juventus have recorded 4 straight victories and they are undefeated in their last 5 league games. The wins have come at home against Sampdoria and Roma plus away at Spezia and Torino.
Trends show Juventus have scored 1 or more goals in their last 8 away Serie A games in a row. Despite showing recent improvements in defence, Juventus have conceded goals in 12 of their last 13 away league fixtures.
Team news and Inter Milan are expected to be without the injured duo of Hakan Calhanoglu and Gabriel Brazão. Every other player should be fit and available for Simone Inzaghi.
Juventus travel without Paulo Dybala and Adrien Rabiot, both of whom are expected to be out for a couple of weeks.
This could be one of the best Derby d'Italia’s we have seen in recent years and we expect to see both teams find the back of the net and over 2.5 goals scored.
Inter Milan have a tremendous recent home record and that could continue with an entertaining victory in this game, which will extend their lead over Juventus to 6 points.
