Inter Milan Vs Juventus Derby D'italia Lineup

On Sunday, October 27, Inter Milan and Juventus will face off in the highly anticipated Derby d’Italia at the San Siro in Milan. This Serie A clash is marked by significant injury concerns for both teams, adding an extra layer of complexity to the already intense rivalry.

Inter Milan, currently second in the Serie A table, will be without key players such as Hakan Calhanoglu, Francesco Acerbi, and Carlos Augusto due to injuries. Coach Simone Inzaghi is considering Kristjan Asllani or Piotr Zielinski to replace Calhanoglu in midfield, although Asllani’s fitness will be assessed on the day of the match. Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram are set to return to the starting lineup after being rested in the midweek Champions League fixture against Young Boys.

Juventus, sitting just one point behind Inter in the table, also faces significant absences. Douglas Luiz, Teun Koopmeiners, Nico Gonzalez, Gleison Bremer, and Arkadiusz Milik are all out due to injuries. However, the team welcomes back Francisco Conceicao from suspension and Weston McKennie from a muscular issue. Michele Di Gregorio returns as the first-choice goalkeeper after serving his suspension.

The match is crucial for both teams as they aim to keep pace with Serie A leaders Napoli. Inter has been in good form, winning their last three Serie A matches, while Juventus remains unbeaten in the league but suffered a recent setback in the Champions League with a loss to VfB Stuttgart.

The game will be broadcast live on Paramount+ in the USA, OneFootball in the UK, and beIN SPORTS in Australia and New Zealand. The kickoff is at 6:00 PM local time (CEST) or 1:00 PM Eastern Time in the U.S..

The historical context of the Derby d’Italia adds to the tension, with Juventus having won 87 of the 182 previous matches against Inter, while Inter has 49 wins and 46 draws. The match is expected to be highly physical and tactical, with Inter likely to adopt an aggressive style and Juventus focusing on quick counterattacks.
