Juventus vs Inter Milan Preview – prediction, team news, lineups | Pre-Season Friendly
The previous outing between these clubs ended in favour of the Nerazzurri.
Juventus FC are all set to lock horns with FC Internazionale Milan for their fifth pre-season friendly clash ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. These Serie A giants are going to clash at Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia.
The Old Lady have not conceded any goals in their last four matches and will be looking to add one more clean sheet to their pre-season tour. They secured a 1-0 victory against the Premier League side Chelsea in their last fixture. Luciano Spalletti’s men will be looking to add another win to their tally.
Juventus FC are on a three-match winning streak at the moment and will be fully confident for their next one. They must put some work in their final third; other than that, they are doing fine at the moment.
The Cristian Chivu-led side were held to a draw in the Milan derby. A poor mistake by the Nerazzurri led to a penalty for AC Milan. The match ended in a 1-1 draw. FC Internazionale Milano had a chance to secure a win, but were not good enough in the final third.
They will not be looking to make similar mistakes now. Inter Milan are also unbeaten on their current pre-season run and will be looking to keep it that way.

He will be looking to play an important role for the Old Lady once again. The 27-year-old is going to lead the attack from the right flank for his side.
