Juventus
As Barzagli and Lichtsteiner are both unavailable, coach Conte has only
one solution for his defence: Chiellini as centre-back and Caceres on
the right side.
The manager has plenty of options for his midfield and attack: he is
likely to field Vidal instead of Giaccherini and Matri instead of
Borriello.
There will be no rest for Mirko Vucinic, who is currently the player in the best form.
probable lineups : Buffon, Ceglie, Chiellini, Bonucci, Caceres, Marchisio, Pirlo, Vidal, Vucinic, Matri, Pepe. (4-3-3).

Inter
Sneijder and Alvarez are both injured, so it is pretty safe to say that Ranieri won't use the trequartista role in Turin. The coach is more likely to field a 4-4-2 with Pazzini or Forlan to partnering Milito. Stankovic and Nagatomo are in competition with Cambiasso and Chivu to make the starting XI.
probable lineups : Cesar, Maicon, Lucio, Samuel, Nagatomo, Zanetti, Poli, Stankovic, Obi, Milito, Forlan. (4-4-2).

Juventus may take advantage of the Coppa Italia clash they won against
Milan for so many reasons: Milan will be tired against Roma and they
also may already be thinking of the Barcelona clash. Juventus will know
their result before facing Inter, and reaching the Coppa Italia final
gave the team the boost they needed for the final part of the season.
Most of the goals Inter could have aimed for are now gone, and only a
European spot in the Europa League could sweeten their poor season.
However, as (disappointed) fans always say, winning a match like this
one is more a matter of pride rather than points on the table, so the
team will have to give all they have to avoid further criticism.
Expect Juventus to try and push to kill their opponents' hopes in the
very first part of the match, maybe taking advantage of Vucinic' superb
form. Ranieri may also be comfortable in a defensive position,
especially in the solid 4-4-2 line-up. However, unless a sparkle of
magic is cast by one (or more) of his attacking players, Juventus look
favoured to win this one in the long run.
Juventus 2 - 1 Inter
