Inter Milan vs. Juventus: Derby d’Italia Preview, Lineups, and How to Watch

On Sunday, October 27, two of Italy‘s football giants, Inter Milan and Juventus, will clash in the highly anticipated Derby d’Italia at the San Siro in Milan, Italy. This match is one of the most eagerly awaited fixtures of the Serie A season, with both teams vying for top spots in the league table.

The game kicks off at 12:00 p.m. ET (18:00 local time) and will be broadcast live on Paramount+ in the USA, OneFootball in the UK, and beIN SPORTS in Australia and New Zealand. Fans can also take advantage of a 7-day free trial on Paramount+ to watch the match.

Inter Milan, coached by Simone Inzaghi, enters the match on a high note after a recent Champions League win over Young Boys. However, they face an injury crisis with key players like Hakan Calhanoglu, Francesco Acerbi, and Carlos Augusto ruled out. Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram are expected to return to the starting lineup, while Kristjan Asllani or Piotr Zielinski may replace Calhanoglu in midfield.

Juventus, under the management of Thiago Motta, is dealing with its own set of injuries. Douglas Luiz, Teun Koopmeiners, and Nico Gonzalez are among those sidelined. Despite these absences, Juventus welcomes back goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio from suspension and Weston McKennie from a muscular issue. Francisco Conceicao is also set to return after serving his suspension.

The predicted lineups for Inter Milan include Sommer in goal, a defensive trio of Pavard, De Vrij, and Bastoni, and an attacking duo of Thuram and Martinez. For Juventus, Di Gregorio is expected to start in goal, with a midfield pairing of McKennie and Fagioli supporting striker Dusan Vlahovic.

Both teams are in good form, with Inter having lost just one of their last 19 home games in Serie A and Juventus remaining unbeaten in the league this season. The match is expected to be closely contested, with predictions leaning towards a draw.
