#3 Mauro Icardi’s performance against the Juve defence

Inter’s Icardi is one of the most prolific strikers in the world, and has already scored 11 goals in 16 matches this season. However, he would be up against a Juve defence that has conceded only 8 goals in 14 matches in the Serie A so far, and it should be the ultimate test for him.

Icardi is a very opportunistic striker with quick movements inside the penalty box, and might even end up winning a penalty for his side with his quick dodges.

He is strong in the air too, but so are Juve’s centre-backs, and it would not be easy for him to score from a header. Still, Inter would have to play balls into the Juve penalty box to give him a chance of scoring with a header or a volley.

Juve usually do not play a high line, therefore the possibility of scoring against them from a through pass is also very less. Still, Inter would depend upon Icardi a lot to break the strong Juventus defence.
