The two Serie A giants clash on Tuesday night and it’s expected to be a showdown game given the fierce rivalries between them.

Mourinho has already stirred things up by claiming the Old Lady should be scared of the Beneamata as he draws first blood ahead of the big game.

“Juve should be scared of Inter, If we beat them then it will be a novelty as they have been working hard well before we started pre-season preparations,” said Mourinho.

“They (Juve) will need belief in light of their forthcoming Champions League preliminaries.”

The coach also had a few words on the Frank Lampard saga. The Chelsea midfielder looked set to move to San Siro before the English club scuppered the deal.

“I think a player should do what he feels best, if he wants to stay at Chelsea then it’s right he stays there,” said the coach.

The last time both teams met was in Serie A back in March. The Bianconeri came through 2-1 winners in that game and no doubt Inter will be hoping to get some revenge on their rivals tomorrow night.
