Juventus host Inter Milan in Turin for one of the most awaited Derby d'Italias in recent memory on Sunday. The Nerazzurri have a lot to lose since they've hit a rough patch and not winning against Juventus might end their Scudetto hopes. On the other hand, the Bianconeri can boost their still remote title ambitions and winning against a rival can help them not only make up ground against the top of the table but give them some extra motivation as they overcome Inter in the Serie A table. It will be a very tense clash between the two sides. Juventus have the longest current unbeaten run in Serie A (16 games, W11 D5). Since November 30th, Juventus are one of only two sides in the big-5 European Leagues that have gone unbeaten (also Sevilla - 15 games).

Team news
Juventus: Coach Massimiliano Allegri announced on Saturday that Paulo Dybala will start against Inter Milan and this is definitely something interesting considering that the Argentinian striker will leave the club at the end of the season, as the club announced in the last week. No side has kept more clean sheets than Juventus in Serie A this season (13, as many as Napoli), and only Torino (3) has conceded fewer shots on target on average than the Bianconeri (3.1) - Inter are the sixth team in this ranking, with 3.6 shots on target faced per match.
Inter Milan: The Nerazzurri are going through a difficult moment and have won only one game (against Salernitana) in the last seven. Simone Inzaghi desperately needs a reaction like winning in Turin to keep the title race ambitions alive. Considering all competitions, Inter have won only one of their last 15 away meetings against Juventus (1-3 in Serie A on November 3rd, 2012). In the process, Juventus have won 10 matches and drawn four. After the 1-1 draw in Milan in the reverse fixture, Inter could remain unbeaten in both the seasonal league matches against Juventus for the first time since 2008/09 (1-0 win at the Meazza and 1-1 draw in Turin back then).
Prediction
It's a difficult match to predict since it might be a close one with the two teams that will have to make an extra effort to win. Inter Milan have a lot to lose and this can definitely affect their attitude on the pitch. Pick: 1-1
