Inter Milan will face Juventus at the Giuseppe Meazza on Sunday night (1945 GMT) in a clash which could have major implications for the Serie A title race.

Without a doubt, this edition of Derby d’Italia is a special one. After a magic season, the two rivals are separated by a single point before the start of round 23.

The Nerazzurri are in front with a game in hand, so Juventus have no choice but to win in Milan if they wish to keep the title hopes alive.

After winning the Italian Super Cup, Simone Inzaghi's team faced a tough challenge in Serie A. Before the derby against Juventus, Inter Milan secured a 1-0 victory over Fiorentina, thanks to Lautaro Martinez's goal.

Inter Milan is undefeated in the league since their surprising loss to Sassuolo. They've won four and drawn one of their last five matches, scoring 11 goals.

Juventus have been free-scoring in 2024. However, they were held to a 1-1 draw against Empoli last time out as Arkadiusz Milik was shown a red card.

After 22 rounds, Juve has 16 wins, 5 draws and a single defeat. Despite their amazing results, the team from Turin is still a point behind Inter who also have a game in hand.

In excellent recent form, Juventus has secured four victories in their last five matches, along with two comfortable wins in the Coppa Italia.

Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic has been a standout performer, contributing five goals in the last three rounds of Serie A.

The game between these two teams previously ended in a 1-1 draw. At Allianz Stadium, Vlahovic opened the scoring in the 27th minute before Lautaro Martinez equalized just six minutes later.

Both sides are heavily reliant on their top scorers so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see at least one of them get on the scoresheet on Sunday.
