This time, Antonio Conte’s side will face Andrea Pirlo’s men on matchday 18 in the current Serie A season.

The best attack in Serie A (Inter have scored 43 goals) meets the league’s best defence (Juve have conceded just 16, level with Napoli and Verona) and both sides can boast having one of the division’s most lethal finishers: Romelu Lukaku and Cristiano Ronaldo.
