Inter vs Juventus. Shape of the Teams
The upcoming clash between Inter Milan and Juventus in the Serie A on February 4th is poised to be a pivotal encounter in the title race.
Under Simone Inzaghi’s guidance, Inter Milan have been in formidable form, riding a wave of five consecutive victories. This impressive run has propelled them to the top of the standings with 54 points, narrowly edging out Juventus by a single point with the advantage of a game in hand.
On the other hand, Juventus reemerged as a title contender after a period of relative underperformance in previous seasons. This year, however, they face a formidable challenge in Inter Milan, a team that has shown remarkable consistency and resilience, hardly conceding any goals.
Juventus are currently second in the table, and a victory in this match is crucial for their title aspirations.
However, Juventus’ recent performance against Empoli, where they were held to a 1-1 draw, indicates potential vulnerabilities that Inter could exploit.
Despite this, historical matchups between these two giants suggest a closely contested battle, with Juventus traditionally proving to be a tough opponent for Inter. Juventus has secured two wins in the last five encounters compared to Inter’s single victory, while most of these matches have been characterized by a scarcity of goals.

The unbeaten streaks of both Inter Milan and Juventus underscore the high level of competition and the quality of soccer both teams are bringing to the Serie A. Inter’s remarkable 23-match unbeaten run, alongside Juventus’s 19-match streak, sets the stage for a highly anticipated showdown between two of Italy’s soccer powerhouses.

Massimiliano Allegri’s tactical reliance on set-pieces and leveraging Dusan Vlahovic’s aerial prowess and scoring ability could be sternly tested against Inter’s robust defence.
The central defensive pairing at Juventus will also have their work cut out for them as they attempt to contain Inter’s dynamic duo of Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram.
Martínez, in particular, has been in stellar form, as evidenced by his goal-scoring exploits, including a recent goal against Fiorentina that brought his season tally to 19 goals.
The outcome of the “Derby d’Italia” is often decided by a single goal. I think both teams’ current form and tactical approaches suggest that achieving an outright victory may be challenging for either side.
Inter’s formidable record at home, combined with Juventus’s strong defensive setup and tendency towards low-scoring games, points towards a match that is likely to be closely fought, with few goals scored.
Inter vs Juventus Betting Tip
- Pick: 1st Half Corners – Over 4.5
- Odds: -125 (Tonybet)
Inter are a side that almost take 5-6 corners in every match, and the same is true for Juventus. I think this match-up, characterized by both teams’ propensity to launch attacks from the flanks, suggests that we may see a significant number of corners as a byproduct of these offensive strategies.
Given Inter’s tendency to control the tempo and possession in their matches, it’s expected that they will take the initiative, push forward, and create numerous scoring opportunities.
On the other side, Massimiliano Allegri’s Juventus is adept at setting up defensively solid and looking for opportunities to launch counterattacks. While focusing on defensive organization, this reactive strategy does not preclude Juventus from posing a threat on the break, especially with players capable of exploiting spaces left by Inter’s attacking ventures.
Considering the dynamics of both teams and their tactical approaches, the match is likely to see a flurry of activity from the outset. Hence, I anticipate over 4.5 corners in the first half.
