Inter, who currently sit in third, will be aiming to improve on their recent home form at the San Siro having won on only two occasions in their last six home matches. The hosts, however, have only lost once in their previous seven league matches. Juventus, meanwhile, clinched their eight consecutive league title in their last league match after coming from behind to beat Fiorentina at Allianz Stadium.
The teams are out and kick-off will soon be upon us here at San Siro for the Derby d’Italia.
Inter will be very happy with their first half performance and will look to continue in much the same fashion after the break. Perisic and Politano have caused real problems down either flank and will be key if Inter are to extend their lead after the break. Juventus, however, will look to Ronaldo in their efforts to get back into the game after the restart with the Portuguese striker only one goal away from his 600th goal in all club competitions.
Inter travel to Udinese next time out as they look to build on their impressive display against the champions. Juventus, meanwhile, host Torino in their next league match as they look to return to winning ways.
That brings an end to our coverage of the Serie A fixture between Inter and Juventus at San Siro. Thank you very much for joining us. Goodbye!
