Inter vs Roma
Italian Serie A, 1930 GMT
This will be a match between the first two sides in the tables. Inter are first, and haven't lost to date in the Italian championship. Last week was a poor one for the Nerazzuri as they lost 0-2 at Liverpool and drew 1-1 away against Sampdoria. In addition to that mediocre set of results, coach Roberto Mancini cannot count on some very important players mostly through injuries: Ibrahimovic, Cruz, Cordoba, Samuel, Cesar and Dacourt. That means Inter will play with a lone striker, probably Suazo, with 17 year-old Balotelli coming in contention.
Having mentioned the home side status, I'll say that Roma are eager to win tonight, so that they can have a run at Il Scudeto. The Giallorossi do have a good background to climb upon, as the last time they were in Milan to play Internazionale, they've rocked the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium and won 3-1. As for the personel, Roma's coach Spaletti can count on fit again Juan and on fellow Brazilian international Mancini, who was suspended at the weekend. Panucci and Curci are injured, while Cicinho is suspended.
I predict a win or even a draw for Roma, double which is priced at 7/11.
