Having looked to have the Serie A title all but sewn up only a few weeks ago, Juventus are now under serious pressure to hang on to their title. A draw at lowly Crotone gave Napoli something to aim at, and the Neopolitan's took full advantage when grabbing a last gasp winner to down Juve last week. That brings the gap down to just the one point headed into week 35 and Juventus must win here if they are to be certain of maintaining their place at the summit.
Picking up three points at the San Siro won't be easy though. Host's Inter are desperate for a win themselves as they bid to run down either Lazio or Roma in the race for the Champions League. Inter sit fifth, but only one point adrift of their Rome rivals. A win here would be a huge boost to their chances of finishing in the top four.
Inter have been good at home of late, going unbeaten in their last eight Serie A outings at the San Siro, and losing only once at home in the league all season.
Good as Inter's record at home is, it doesn't quite match Juventus's performance in away games. The Old Lady have won 13 of 17 away from home, losing only once.
Inter look to be struggling in the centre of the park ahead of this clash with both Matías Vecino and Roberto Gagliardini set to miss out.
The big blow for Juventus comes in the heart of their defence. Giorgio Chiellini expected to be unavailable here.
Both teams have their problems but overall we just trust Juventus a little more to put in a big performance on the day. As witnessed in THAT match at the Bernabeu recently they are more than capable of upping their game when their backs are against the wall and they may do so again here.
Prediction: Inter Milan 1 - 3 Juventus
