The Derby d'Italia hype thread

[S]

I guess this deserves a thread of its own.

Inter are on an 7 game winning streak in the league and it's probably the first time in more than half a decade that they've actually looked this good and this consistent.

Juventus on the other hand are slowly picking up form themselves having moved to a new system which is not only bringing the desired results but is also making the team play good football and create more chances. Would be interesting to see if Allegri persists with the 4-2-3-1 formation against Inter whose midfield has been the big reason behind their turnaround.

Juventus have been nearly invincible at home having won 29 games in a row whilst the last team to break Juve's streak of consecutive wins at home was Inter themselves (23 I guess it was). It's also a battle of the two best strikers in the league and one could say this is the most competitive Derby d' Italia in a while.

The best team vs the most in-form team in the league. Who'll win ? Please discuss.

[Firenze]

Icardi got this

prediction: 0-0

[Kaladin]

Inter will win it

[Warrior]

FORZA JUVE

2-1

Higuain x2
Icardi

No way Icardi doesn't score against Juve

[rincon]

Icardi got this

prediction: 0-0

You are right with the first part of your post and wrong on the second.

Icardi of course got this, and he WILL score on us. Its his thing and at this point we just have to accept it.

3-1 Juve

Dybala, Higuain, Icardi, Pjanic

[Robespierre]

The most felt match for me.

Anyway I think we 'll lose it.

We come from 7 wins in a row, the biggest wins streak in Serie A this year, and we're going to face the Juve at JS where they have 100 % score of victories.

Besides we 've the decisive match of Coppa Italia (single-elimination game ) just tomorrow against Lazio so no turnover


Anyway .. I think we 'll play so

Handanovic
'DAmbrosio Miranda Murillo Ansaldi
Gagliardini Brozovic
Perisic Joao Mario Candreva
Icardi

While I wonder if Juve will insist on this fruitful 4-2-3-1 or if it will be back to most solid 3-5-2

[breva]

Inter are playing away and Juventus will want revenge for the partita di andata. Inter will be demolished, probably 3-0 or worse.

[dronte]

Now that's gonna be exciting

let's hype the game of the season boiz

Most in form Inter for years while we havent lost a point for 29 matches at home

Beating Inter would give us a massive reassurance

Everything you wrote is nonsense, since cr is the one leading the line and occupies cf position majority of games, but you got higs **"* rammed so hard down your throat, that you cough up Benz hate in every post, stick praising isco for being useless.

I think the answer @CBarca was looking for is Sunday at 8:45 CET

[CBarca]

No, actually, S nailed it.

Don't know what the hell you're on about Rincon

[NeganIsco]

It will be a low scoring draw, hopefully Inter wins it though !

Perisic and Candreva will shine


F O R Z A ----- I N T E R

[Robespierre]

Pioli if you read me I 'm thinking this lineup to face the Juve 4231 system ( so as to have numerical superiority at midifelder )

Handanovic
Medel Miranda Murillo
Candreva Gagliardini Kondogbia Perisic
Brozovic Joao Mario
Icardi

Let me know

[Hapless_Hans]

[Warrior]

Lots of Inter fans these days on this forum, haters gonna hate

FORZA JJUVEEEEEEEEE INTER *bleep*

[S]

Hype

[juve_gigi]

Lots of Inter fans these days on this forum, haters gonna hate

FORZA JJUVEEEEEEEEE INTER *bleep*

Did Hans lose a bet or has he come over to the dark side?

[juve_gigi]

Juve got this no problem...

3-1

Higuain, Dybala, Khedira, Perisic...

[dronte]

Icardi to score you can bet big money on that

[rincon]

Inter got Hans. @Sri join us, this your chance.

Rumored lineups

Juve (aka the good guys): Buffon; Sandro, Chiellini, Bonucci, Lichtsteiner; Mandzukic, Khedira, Pjanic, Cuadrado; Higuain, Dybala

Inter (aka the bad guys): Handanovic; Murillo, Medel, Miranda; D'Ambrosio, Kondogbia, Gagliardini, Candreva; Perisic, Brozovic; Icardi

---

Allegri should play the same mid and attack that has worked wonders the last 3 games. In defense, Barzagli is adoubt with a fever, but anyway the 4 are almost confirmed to start. Marchisio recovered from his injury but is left in the bench as a precaution.

Pioli reads @Robespierre posts and will likely change to a 3-4-2-1 to counter us. The more physical duo of Kondogbia-Gagliardini should start. In the trequarti Brozovic looks like a starter given that he is also a pure "midfielder" as opposed to the AM Joao Mario. Banega is not even in contention. Perisic, Icardi and Candreva should be undroppable.

Inter are in an outstanding run with 9 wins straight, just broken by Lazio in the coppa. Juve after losing to Fiore and losing Marchisio to injury, changed to a 4-4-2/4-2-3-1 to accommodate the attackers and minimize the midfield. It worked great and we smashed Lazio, Milan and Sassuolo.

Higuain vs Icardi
Dybala vs Persic
Pjanic vs Brozovic
Cuadrado vs Candreva
Buffon vs Handanovic

[Hapless_Hans]

@rincon's Inter lineup leaving out GOATO Mario

wishful thinking

[InterMalia]

I can't honestly see us win here but if we did that would be a huge boast to the players confidence and could help us get the 3rd spot trophy.
