Inter vs Juventus Prediction: Expect a low-scoring match

In the first leg of the semi-final, Inter scored in the final seconds in Turin. Will that goal be the decisive outcome of the two-round clash? Here are some bets on the Italian Cup semi-final second leg.

Last week was a busy one for the Nerazzurri. On Wednesday, they drew 3:3 at home to Benfica (2:0 in the first leg) and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League, where they will face their main rival, AC Milan. On Sunday afternoon, Inter played an away league game against Empoli. Surprisingly, but despite the fatigue and rotation of the squad after the Champions League match, they had no problems at all and were 3:0 stronger - the double was scored by Romelu Lukaku, who assisted Lautaro Martinez.

Like Inter, Juventus played two games last week. The team played a tough encounter in Portugal on Thursday, drawing 1:1 with Sporting (1:0 first leg) to reach the Europa League semi-finals. Juve faces Spain's Sevilla in the European competition. On Sunday, Juventus hosted Napoli in the Italian league, defending well throughout the game and scoring what appeared to be a winning goal in the closing stages. However, Angel Di Maria's goal was canceled due to a controversial law infringement. The referee's decision threw Juventus off balance, and Napoli won 1:0. It was a humiliating defeat, but, considering the standing of the table, it did not matter much to the Turin side. The Italian Cup meeting is a priority, so Max Allegri has rotated the squad considerably in the meeting with Napoli.

Inter has only beaten Juventus once in regulation time in seven games in this and previous seasons. The Turin side is likely to score in the upcoming match as well. Juve has beaten Inter twice this season in the Italian league, and in the first leg of the cup semi-final, they conceded a return goal on 90+5 on penalties. In addition, we think it will be a low-scoring. Both teams have made significant progress in defense recently and play each other with repeatedly poor results.
