Juventus vs Inter Milan: Tips, Odds, and Match Preview

Juventus and Inter Milan are often considered among the best teams in the Serie A and are expected to be title contenders year in and year out. The 2025-26 season isn’t any different, and this derby will be a good measuring stick to see where both teams are right now. Plus, this couldn’t have come at a worse time since both teams are also planning their UEFA Champions League debuts next week.

Juventus face this game on the heels of a perfect record and without conceding goals in their first two matches of the campaign, so they should be confident. However, they haven’t faced a team of the quality of Inter Milan. The Nerazurri need to bounce back after losing to Udinese just before the break, and they should have enough weapons upfront to make things complicated for Inter Milan.

Juventus Aiming for Another Clean Sheet?

There’s no doubt that Juventus are enjoying a solid start to the 2025-26 Serie A campaign, and the numbers back that up. Even though their performances haven’t exactly been flashy at times, they’ve managed to defeat Parma and Genoa without conceding goals. That’s a priority for manager Igor Tudor following the team’s shaky performances in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

The defensive prowess will probably be the calling card for Juventus this season, and it was also noticeable last season under Tudor’s management. Dating back to last season, The Old Lady have conceded one or fewer goals in all but one of their last 11 Serie A fixtures (W7, D3, L1). Doing so again will certainly boost their chances of getting a good result against an Inter Milan side that haven’t looked at their best so far.

Juventus Injury & Suspension News

Juventus aren’t expected to make changes to their 3-4-2-1 scheme, though they won’t be able to field the same XI they played in the opening two rounds. Left-back Andrea Cambiaso is out through suspension, while Francisco Conceicao (strain) and Mattia Perin (finger) are uncertain to play due to injuries. The biggest change will come upfront, as Dusan Vlahovic is expected to get the nod as the lone striker over Jonathan David.

Inter Milan Must Deliver a Bounce-Back Performance

Inter Milan have had contrasting performances to open their 2025-26 Serie A campaign. They turned heads with their opening 5-0 win over Torino, a result that prompted fans and experts to declare them as title contenders. However, the 2-1 defeat to Udinese just before the international break underlined the defensive issues the team has been battling – and some of them were already noticeable since the 5-0 loss to PSG in the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League final.

Inter certainly have enough quality to play better than they did against Udinese. However, for that to happen, the team must be focused throughout the entire 90 minutes and must do a better job at the back. Their attack isn’t going to bail them out all the time, and it’s hard to imagine Inter creating a plethora of chances against a Juventus defence that has looked outstanding to start the new campaign.

Juventus vs Inter Milan Prediction

Four of the last five head-to-head meetings between Juventus and Inter Milan have ended with under 2.5 total goals, with three of them even producing one or fewer.  Even though there will be tons of attacking talent on both sides here, the defences are also elite. Don’t be surprised if this game ends up being a low-scoring affair with two or fewer goals.
