Juventus vs. Internazionale: Team News, Predicted Lineups, Live Stream, TV Info

Adam DigbyJan 26, 2016

Having beaten rivals AS Roma on Sunday, Juventus once again return to Coppa Italia action on Wednesday evening, taking on Inter in the first leg of a semi-final clash that both teams will be taking seriously.

Recent form has seen the visitors slump somewhat, losing to both Lazio and Sassuolo before being held to draws by Atalanta then Carpi. That run of results has seen the Nerazzurri drop from the top of the table to now sit four points behind second-place Juventus, but they have impressed in the knockout competition.

A win over Napoli saw them take a place in the last four, and a victory over the holders would undoubtedly improve their morale. Speaking after seeing his side concede a stoppage-time equaliser at home to 10-man Carpi last weekend, Inter boss Roberto Mancini highlighted issues at both ends of the field.

“I am disappointed, this is the third game we’ve thrown away by gifting these late chances,” the coach told Mediaset Premium and Sky Italia (h/t Football Italia). “We have a bigger problem, which is that we can’t score goals. Our strikers can’t just stand there and wait for the ball to come, football is made up of brains as well as brawn.”

Indeed, while they boast Serie A’s best defence—conceding just 14 times thus far and with goalkeeper Samir Handanovic keeping a league-high 12 clean sheets—Inter have netted only 26 goals themselves, a tally bettered by no fewer than 10 other teams.

For their part, Juventus have now recorded 11 consecutive league wins, also eliminating city rivals Torino and Lazio from the Coppa Italia during that same period. As the table in the tweet above highlights, their results have catapulted them back up the table, and they will certainly hope to add to Inter’s misery here.
