Juventus have kicked off their campaign with impressive defensive stability. Two straight clean-sheet victories have set the tone, and the Bianconeri are chasing a rare milestone.
Flashscore 📸
They have never begun consecutive seasons with three straight shutouts, yet that record could be rewritten this weekend. The last time Juventus opened a campaign with three league wins dates back to 2018/19, a year that still lingers in supporters’ memories.
Confidence in Turin remains strong. Juventus have won five home matches in a row, each of the last three by the same 2-0 scoreline. Their form at the Allianz Stadium, combined with recent success against Inter, provides extra belief.
The Bianconeri have lost just one of the last six Serie A meetings between the two sides, while Inter have managed only a single victory across their last 12 league visits to Juventus.

Inter’s response after a setback
Inter Milan’s pursuit of the Scudetto began in style with a resounding 5-0 win over Torino, but optimism was tempered quickly. A surprise 2-1 defeat against Udinese reminded the Nerazzurri of the challenges that lie ahead.
History suggests a recovery is likely, as Inter have not started a season with two losses in their first three games since 2011/12. Their away form adds reassurance. Inter have lost only once in their last six Serie A matches on the road, and when they do win away, clean sheets usually follow. In fact, all of their last ten away league victories came without conceding.
Dusan Vlahovic 📸
Key players will be decisive. Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović is in fine form, scoring in successive league games and again for Serbia during the break. Inter’s Denzel Dumfries also poses a threat, often striking late in games, including against Juventus last season.
Both clubs enter with different pressures: Juventus chasing history, Inter aiming for redemption. With fierce rivalry and championship ambitions colliding, this Derby d’Italia promises another memorable chapter.
