Serie A 2025/26: Inter Milan vs Juventus Preview, Prediction, TV channels & Predicted Lineup
League leaders Inter Milan (1st) host Juventus (4th) in a pivotal clash for the Scudetto. With the Nerazzurri eight points clear and Juve missing key stars, this Valentine's showdown is all about passion and pressure.
Match Facts
A win for Inter would put them 15 points ahead of the Old Lady, likely ending Juventus’s title hopes, while a Juve win would tighten the race for the top four.
The Nerazzurri are unbeaten in 12 Serie A matches, including a perfect run of five consecutive wins leading into this fixture.
Juventus travels to Milan without star striker Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik, leaving them thin in attack for Italy's biggest game.
This is the first time since 1929/30 that these rivals meet on February 14th; historically, Juventus won both previous Valentine's encounters in the 1930s and 60s.
Inter receives a massive boost with midfielders Nicolo Barella and Hakan Calhanoglu returning to the squad just in time for the derby.
Predicted Lineup
Inter Milan (3-5-2): Sommer; Bisseck, Akanji, Bastoni; Luis Henrique, Barella, Calhanoglu, Zielinski, Dimarco; Lautaro Martinez, Marcus Thuram.
Juventus (4-2-3-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly, Cambiaso; Locatelli, Koopmeiners; McKennie, Miretti, Yildiz; Jonathan David.
Prediction of AI
Inter Milan is the clear favorite given their dominant home form and Juventus's significant absences in the final third. While the Derby d'Italia often produces cagey affairs, Inter’s superior midfield control and the red-hot form of Lautaro Martinez should see them break through a stubborn Juve defense.
Score Prediction: Inter Milan 2 - 0 Juventus.
