Last home defeat against... Juventus

Maicon poised for 100th Inter appearance

He has played 75 times for Inter in Serie A, 6 in Coppa Italia, 16 in European competitions and twice in the Super Cup.

Ibra, Amauri among decisive players

Julio Cruz & goals against Juventus, Buffon

El Jardinero, who has scored 105 goals for Italian clubs, has netted more against Gianluigi Buffon and Emanuele Belardi than any other keeper (6 goals). The Argentine striker counts Juventus as his favourite target, with 8 goals against the Bianconeri.

Eight different players on target in 2008/09

Eight Nerazzurri have scored Serie A goals this term: Adriano, Cordoba, Cruz, Ibrahimovic, Maicon, Obinna, Stankovic and Vieira. AC Milan and Torino are the only other teams with eight different scorers after 12 rounds of matches.

Juve chasing eighth consecutive win

Juventus have won their last seven games: against Real Madrid (2-1 home win in UCL), Torino (1-0 home win in Serie A), Bologna (2-1 away win in Serie A), Roma (2-0 home win in Serie A), Real Madrid (2-0 away win in Serie A), ChievoVerona (2-0 away win in Serie A) and Genoa (4-1 home win in Serie A). The Bianconeri's last defeat was a 2-1 reverse at Napoli on 18 October. If Juve beat Inter on Saturday they will be unbeaten in eight games for the first time since their unbeaten run in Serie B from September.

Nedved set for 300th Juve appearance

Pavel Nedved is poised to make his 300th appearance for the Bianconeri, The Czech midfielder, who made his Juve debut in a 4-0 Serie A home win over Venezia on 26 August 2001, has represented the Turin outfit 193 times in Serie A, 33 in Serie B, 19 in Coppa Italia and 51 in European competitions. He has also played 3 Italian Super Cup matches.

Juve goalless in just one of last 20 games

Juventus have failed to score in only one of their last 20 matches - a 0-0 home draw against Sampdoria on 27 September. In the other 19 games they have scored a total of 33 goals. In this season's Serie A Juve are the only team who have failed to score in just one match.

MILAN - Italian champions Inter increased their lead at the top of the table ahead of Sunday's fixtures with a 1-0 victory over traditional rivals Juventus in front of over 76,000 fans at the Giuseppe Meazza.

Sulley Muntari, who scored in the Italian Super Cup against Roma in August, tapped in the winner midway through the second half for his second goal in black and blue.

Both tacticians fielded 4-4-2 formations for the derby d'Italia, with José Mourinho partnering Ibrahimovic and Adriano in front of a midfield line of Zanetti, Stankovic, Cambiasso and Muntari.

Claudio Ranieri preferred Marchionni to Camoranesi in his midfield but was forced into an early change when Tiago pulled up after a duel with eventual man of the match Stankovic.

Juve keeper Manninger was kept busy in opening period, making saves from Ibrahimovic and Muntari before tipping over Maicon's brilliant curling free kick.

Inter continued to churn out chances and Ibrahimovic hit a shot just wide after a defensive error by Legrottaglie. The Nerazzurri went close again on the stroke of half time when Muntari's bullet shot was parried.

In between, Julio Cesar tipped over Juve's best chance of the half - a terrific long-range effort from Marchisio.

Chances were few and far between after the restart but Inter made their best one count when Muntari stroked Ibrahimovic's fast cross over the line with Manninger stranded.

Juve's only significant chance of an equaliser fell to their captain Del Piero who saw his header from Camoranesi's corner saved by Julio Cesar.
