San Siro hosts a historic clash as Inter Milan and Juventus prepare for a thrilling Serie A showdown, where records, players, and rivalries collide

Inter Milan and Juventus have faced each other 185 times in Serie A, tying the record for the most encounters in the history of a single-round championship, alongside Inter Milan vs AS Roma.

At home, the Nerazzurri have the edge: 37 wins, 25 Juventus victories, and 30 draws. The last three matches at San Siro produced 16 goals in total, a remarkable average of 5.3 per game.

Interestingly, this will be the first time Inter Milan and Juventus face off on Valentine’s Day since 1929/30. 

Their last home meeting ended in a 4-4 draw on October 27, 2024, marking the only Derby d’Italia in Serie A history with more than three goals per side.

Inter Milan’s current form

The Nerazzurri arrive with momentum, unbeaten in their last 12 Serie A matches (11 wins, 1 draw). Since November 2025, Inter Milan leads among Europe’s top five leagues for both victories (11) and clean sheets (8).

At San Siro, Inter Milan is undefeated in five consecutive home games and aims to match the previous record of 13 home matches without defeat between October 2024 and April 2025.

Offensively, Inter Milan is third in Europe’s top five leagues with 57 goals and dominates in scoring from corner kicks (13 goals). 

Pass sequences of 10+ touches also favor the Nerazzurri (383 sequences) over Juventus (374), with both teams showing excellent passing accuracy: 87.1% for Inter Milan and 87.0% for Juventus.

Lautaro Martinez: on fire

Lautaro has scored in four consecutive games, tying Roberto Boninsegna with 171 goals for Inter Milan. 

A goal against Juventus could push him into sole third place among all-time Nerazzurri scorers and match his record of five consecutive games scoring.

The Argentine captain is also closing in on surpassing Paulo Dybala’s 131 Serie A goals among Argentine players.

Federico Dimarco: record-breaking playmaker

Dimarco has provided 11 assists this season, his personal best, ranking among the top passers in Serie A over the past two decades. 

Only Fabrizio Miccoli (2011/12), Ronaldinho (2009/10), and Andrea Cossu (2010/11) have exceeded Dimarco’s mark of 11 assists through the first 25 matches in the modern stats era (2004/05 onwards).

Çalhanoglu and Zielinski: Juventus specialists

Hakan Çalhanoglu and Piotr Zielinski each have three goals against Juventus. Zielinski notably scored twice from the penalty spot in the 4-4 draw last October, becoming the first player since 2004/05 to score more than once from a penalty in a Serie A Derby d’Italia.

Zielinski is also closing in on Arkadiusz Milik (49 goals) as one of the top Polish scorers in Serie A and is two active appearances away from 100 combined goals and assists in the league.

Juventus preview

Juventus comes into the match in fourth place with 46 points from 13 wins and 7 draws, scoring 41 goals and conceding 20.

Their recent form includes two wins in the last four games, with defensive struggles evident in four goals conceded over the last four matches, double the number from the previous six. 

Offensively, they have scored 17 goals in their last six Serie A games (2.8 goals per match) and won four of their last five away games.

Spalletti is likely to line up in a 3-4-2-1: Di Gregorio in goal; Kalulu, Bremer, and Kelly in defense; Cambiaso, Locatelli, K. Thuram, and Cabal in midfield; McKennie and Yildiz supporting David up front.
