Inter vs Juventus: A Clash of Leaders in Serie A

League leader Inter will face their rival Juventus today (at 23:45 UAE time) when they host them at the San Siro in the 25th round of the Italian Serie A. Tomorrow features another heavyweight clash between reigning champions Napoli and Roma, as well as a somewhat less significant match between Atalanta and Lazio. Led by Romanian coach Christian Chivu, Inter enters the weekend with an eight-point lead over their city rival Milan, who will kick off the round with an away game against 19th-placed Pisa. Inter has collected 58 points from 24 matches, while Napoli sits third with 49 points, three ahead of Roma. Inter will once again rely on their captain, Argentine striker Lautaro Martínez, who has scored 14 league goals and became the club's third-highest all-time scorer with 171 goals. He trails Giuseppe Meazza, who holds the record with 284 goals since the 1930s. Juventus, for their part, will be playing for pride. This week, the newspaper 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' suggested that only three Juventus players would find a place in the starting lineup: Brazilian defender Gleason Bremer, French midfielder Kefren Turam, and Turkish forward Kenan Yildiz. This indicates that the team has at least some strong points distributed across the pitch.
