AS Roma - Inter Milan
Football: Italian Serie A
Saturday, 27th March 2010. Kickoff 20:45

AS Roma (2nd)

27th of March is the day any AS Roma fan should have marked on the calendar. Few people could have thought it would come to the point where Giallorossi’s chances of fighting for Scudetto would be virtually in their own hands. Over the last years confrontation with Inter has always ended up in Nerazurri’s favor. The closest Roma came to pushing Inter from Serie A throne was 3 years ago, when Lupi finished just 3 points behind.

Ranieri’s successful run with Roma is especially valuable because it has been achieved without Francesco Totti’s input. El Capitano will not feature in Saturday’s match either due to continuous ankle problems. Temporary dawn of the legend has allowed other to step up and take a significant role. Mirko Vucinic, Jeremy Menez and David Pizzarro are now the main constructors of the attacking play.

Expected formation and line up :
AS Roma (4-2-3-1)
Julio Sergio
Cassetti, Juan, Burdisso, Riise
De Rossi, Pizzaro
Menez, Perrotta, Vucinic
Toni

Doubtful
F. Totti

Inter Milan (1st)

Inter slowed down a little on the domestic front mainly due to the busy Champions’ League campaign. It is no secret that Massimo Moratti is as obsessed with the European trophy as Arsene Wenger, thus Mourinho perfectly knows where the priorities lie.

Things were back to normal ways on Wednesday when Inter easily took care of Livorno 3:0 at the Giuseppe Meazza. Samuel Eto’o got twice on the scoreboard, while Mourinho decided to reshuffle the back line sending Samuel and Lucio out to the bench.

Inter have an important Champions League fixture on Tuesday against CSKA Moscow. Mourinho knows he’s been fortunate with the draw at this stage of the competition and will do his best to prevent his players from underestimating the opponent.

Expected formation and line up :
Inter Milan (4-3-1-2)
Cesar
Maicon, Lucio, Samuel, Chivu
Zanetti, Cambiasso, Stanovic
T.Motta
Eto'O, Milito

Doubtful
W. Snejder

Unavailable
M. Ballotelli

Betting advice

I think pragmatic Mourinho will try to slow the tempo of the match down here. He has two reasons for that: the upcoming Champions League clash vs. CSKA; and the 4 points handicap from Roma meaning a draw would be a suitable result at the end of the day.
