An interesting battle for the Italian top-flight title is already taking shape, with the latest odds having Inter Milan down as the favorites.
However, Inter’s title credentials will be put to the test this Sunday when they chase a fourth straight league win when Juventus are the visitors to San Siro.
I Nerazzurri sit two points off the summit at present, and they could kick off in the Italian capital trailing Napoli by as many as five points in Serie A.
Juventus have shown glimpses of championship form to this point, but draws have stifled their progression. We correctly predicted that they would lose against Stuttgart in midweek, but can the Old Lady bounce back in Milan?
Odds
Inter Milan will be the heavy favorites on the moneyline to claim victory this weekend at -128. A win on the road for Juventus is an outside chance at +423.
