Saturday 10th January 2009 - Kickoff 19:30
Inter Milan (1st - Home : 7-1-0 13:5 )
With eight league wins in a row, Inter Milan have a strangle-hold on the Serie A table, but they have ridden their luck a little and five of those wins have been by a single goal margin.
Inter Milan Team News :
Patrick Vieira is out for Inter while Douglas Maicon is suspended. Mourinho will probably replace the Brazilian with Nicolas Burdisso.
Adriano has been training hard in the last few days and may sit on the bench while Inter are likely to leave out Ricardo Quaresma, Mario Balotelli and Amantino Mancini.
Cagliari (13th - Away 1-1-6 7:14)
Cagliari's away results have not been good, but they usually keep games close and many of their games are won or lost by a one goal margin.
Cagliari Team News :
Only two players out for Cagliari, Diego Lopez and Paolo Bianco, who are both suspended and will be highly missed at the centre of the Isolani defence.
Probable Teams :
Julio Cesar;
Burdisso, Cordoba, Samuel, Maxwell;
J.Zanetti, Cambiasso, Muntari;
Stankovic;
Cruz, Ibrahimovic
Cagliari :
Marchetti;
Pisano, Astori, Canini, Agostini;
Fini, Conti, Biondini;
Cossu;
Acquafresca, Jeda
The Verdict
Inter Milan are the obvious "home banker" favourite in Italy this weekend and the missing defenders in Cagliari's line-up just underlines it.
But the price is very low, especially with this being the first competitive game after a "winter break", so it's not worth chasing as a large single.
