Inter and Juventus will face each other in the super challenge of the 25th week in Serie A. As has been the case in the past, a fiery and hard-fought derby is expected, where both teams will seek victory at all costs.

On the eve of this match, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi highly praised the opponent, while emphasizing that everyone knows the importance of this match.

He also focused on the trial, but also on the state of his team on the eve of facing their eternal rivals.

"I have only one goal: to defend my job, that of the staff and the players. We know very well what Juve-Inter represents for our fans and our club. It is an important match at a delicate moment in the championship. We will have a strong team against us, which has been reinforced by the winter transfer market. Juventus has an excellent coach, whom I respect a lot. We have to play an excellent match.

I still have doubts, we need to evaluate some things. Dimarko has returned from the flu, Dumfries has also returned from suspension. Turam, who is feeling pain, still needs to be evaluated. We will see how he will train. Turam is very important for us. At the moment, the possibility is more that he will be out, but he is very ready and has shown availability after the blow he received in Florence. If he is able, he will travel with us, the others are fine.

Direct matches are always important, especially now. We have to raise our level, so far in direct matches we have not won as we should. We have had some good matches, except for the ones with Milan and Fiorentina, which we lost.

I said I was angry after the Milan match about the refereeing. After a few episodes I thought about Inter and I realized that when something happens to Inter, it's not talked about much. When things happen against us, it's always discussed. Yes, it's unfair treatment, so I just wanted to defend my job.

"The classification is obvious to everyone. We will face a strong team, which was reinforced in January and has an excellent coach. They have had some injuries, which have penalized them, but they have also had some draws, which could have been victories. It will be a very difficult match", declared Inzaghi.

The Juventus-Inter match will be played on Sunday, starting at 20:45, in Turin.
