All the information you need to know about how and where to watch the big Serie A clash between two title contenders at San Siro (Milan) on January 17 at 20:45 CET.
In what appears to be the most open Serie A title race in several years, two of the country’s soccer giants square off on Sunday night at the San Siro.

Inter Milan vs Juventus: Conte vs Pirlo
Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte believes Italian champions Juventus remain the team to beat in Serie A ahead of their meeting at San Siro on Sunday. The Turin club have won the league title for nine years in a row, but have not enjoyed their usual domestic dominance this season, as Andrea Pirlo oversees a transition period in his first season as coach.
“It is inevitable that Juventus represents a criterion for everyone, for years it has dominated in Italy”, Conte said at a press conference. “When you want to know what level you are at, you compare yourself to Juventus.”
Sunday’s “Italian Derby” offers Inter a chance to leave Juventus with a mountain to climb in defending the title. But the former Juve Conte midfielder, who won three Serie A titles as coach of the Turin club from 2011 to 2014, stressed that no team can claim to have shifted the balance of power.
“I don’t want to say who the favorites are. We have great respect for a team that wants to continue dominating for the tenth consecutive year ”. he said. “Last year we narrowed the point gap and we hope that this year we will do the same. Beforehand, Juve was 20-25 points ahead of the rest, that was not good.
“No team in Italy can say they have closed the gap with Juventus. For nine years they have mastered and done important work, managing to change things and rejuvenate the squad without sacrificing experience. “
Juve boss Pirlo was downplaying the game as crucial to the title but is heading towards it focused on a win.
“We never proposed to look for a draw. We are going to beat San Siro,” said the coach at a press conference.
“It is a game that will be important but not fundamental for the title.” he said.
“Initially I expect an aggressive Inter to give the game rhythm. We are prepared for this and we must not be afraid to play our own game, even in such an important match. It will be a tactical battle, but we must free our minds.
The game will see Pirlo go head-to-head with Inter coach Antonio Conte, with whom he worked from 2011 to 2014 during his playing days at Juventus.
“He was the first person who made me think about becoming a coach. He taught me a lot.” Pirlo said.
