Fiorentina vs Inter
Italian Serie A, 20h30
These are two of the four Italian clubs playing in the UCL group stage, and a clash between them should be mighty interesting. Fiorentina lies 5th, while Inter is joint-top with Napoli and Udinese.
About the team news, Gilardino is suspended by the FA because he scored a goal with his hand in Sunday's 3-1 victory at Palermo. Otherwise Mutu is fit and will play against his former Chelsea manager, Jose Mourinho. Jose himself has quite an injury crisis with the likes of Figo, Jimenez and Muntari out. He left Adriano and Cruz at home because of tactical indiscipline in the draw with Genoa on Sunday at the Giusseppe Meazza Stadium.
Taking in consideration the record between the teams for the last years and the fact that Gila is out, I will go for Inter tonight. Still Inter managed to thrash Roma 4-0 away, just ten days ago. Today, Jose will once again unleash the likes of Quaresma, Mancini and Zlatan Ibrahimovic and one must consider the Viola defensive line is one you just cannot depend on. Prandelli likes to play attacking formations and that's why we'll have some show tonight.
I tip Inter to win it, outcome priced at 5/4.
