Inter should beat Juve ―Perisic

Ivan Perisic is backing his Inter Milan side to further their Champions League cause with a win over Juventus on Saturday.

The Nerazzurri sit third in Serie A following Saturday’s 1-1 draw at home to Roma and look set to finish in the Champions League places for the second straight season.

Juve wrapped up the title with their 2-1 win over Fiorentina to set a new record of eight straight Scudettos, becoming the first team in the top five leagues in Europe to record such a benchmark.

It means they may lack focus when they head to Milan and while Perisic admits they are by far the best team in Italy, the Croatian fancies his own side to do a number on them at the weekend.

“We know Juventus, they have been winning for eight years in Italy,” he said. “They are strong and will want to win but we have the strength to make it. We are third, we are fine and we must continue like this.”
