ROME.
Struggling Juventus host high-flying Inter Milan in the “derby of Italy” this weekend with Juve’s midfielder Felipe Melo insisting the Old Lady of Turin must win if they are to turn their soccer season around.
Juve are down in eighth place after losing five of their nine matches in all competitions since the turn of the year.
Rejuvenated Inter, on the other hand, are on a run of nine wins in 10 matches under new boss Leonardo and sit third in the table but with a game in hand on the two teams above them.
If they win that they would go second, only two points behind leaders and bitter city rivals AC Milan.
It has been a remarkable comeback from Inter who trailed Milan by 13 points (with a game in hand) in mid-December.

Today: AC Milan v Parma (7pm), Roma v Napoli (9:45pm).
Tomorrow: Palermo v Fiorentina (1:30pm), Bari v Genoa, Brescia v Lazio, Cagliari v Chievo, Catania v Lecce, Cesena v Udinese, Sampdoria v Bologna, Juventus v Inter Milan (9:45pm). — AFP.
