## Inter Milan vs Juventus — Derby d'Italia Preview
### Context
Inter 5 points clear at the Serie A summit. Juve 4th, chasing Champions League qualification. San Siro atmosphere will be electric. Inter unbeaten at home, Juve inconsistent away — favours the hosts.
### Tactical Outlook
**Inter (3-5-2)** under Inzaghi play wing-back football at its most refined. Dumfries and Dimarco provide width and goals. Calhanoğlu dictates tempo, Barella brings energy, Mkhitaryan links play. Martinez-Thuram strike partnership is the best in Italy.
**Juventus (4-2-3-1)** under Motta have evolved from defensive to progressive. Cambiaso and Yildiz provide width, Koopmeiners in the #10, Vlahović leading the line. Defensive structure with Bremer still excellent.
### Key Battles
- **Martinez vs Bremer**: Elite striker vs elite defender. Who wins will likely decide the match.
- **Dumfries vs Cambiaso**: Dual wide duel — both offensive threats.
- **Calhanoğlu vs McKennie**: Battle in the deep midfield pivot zone.
