Key Highlights

Juventus’ Upturn in Form

Juventus have won their last three consecutive matches, highlighting their current confidence and good form as the business end of the season approaches. In their last five outings in Serie A, Allegri’s men have won four matches and lost once.

Inter’s Slump in Serie A

Simone Inzaghi has seen his side slide into a run of three consecutive defeats in Serie A. In their last five assignments in Serie A, the Nerazzurri have won just once and lost the other four. 

The run of three points out of the available fifteen has seen Inzaghi and his men fall off the title race and drop to fourth on the table, level on points with 5th-placed Roma and just two points ahead of 6th-placed Atalanta.

Simone Inzaghi and his men will be looking to bounce back to winning form when they visit the Allianz stadium to face the Bianconeri on Tuesday. The 0-1 defeat to Juventus two weeks ago will be in the minds of Inter players when they step out onto the Allianz Stadium turf on Tuesday.
