Italian Serie A
2011-04-09 - Internazionale vs Chievo
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:Inter must win this match after suffering two defeats in a row going down to A.C Milan and also losing to Schalke in the Champions League. In just two games they conceded 8 goals and from being in the contest for the treble it now seems that their hold on the Scudetto as well as the Champions League have been lost.
There has been speculation about Leonardo's job and this means the visit of Chievo is very important for Leonardo to keep his job as well as their slim chances of the Scudetto alive.
For this match Leonardo will have most of his players available after giving them a time to rest since the humiliation by Schalke in the Champions League. However, Christian Chivu misses out after picking out a red card in the derby with Milan. Yuto Nagatomo is likely to start at left-back in his place.
Then there is the question of Dejan Stankovic featuring. Even if he shouldn’t return, Leonardo will have a highly competitive 4-3-1-2 to field here.
For Chievo, in their last match they managed to draw with Sampdoria. But this match is harder as they will have to fight hard if they hope for a draw. The only good news for Coach Stefano Pioli ahead of the game with Inter is that he is only missing one player - suspended Roberto Guana.
This week has seen three players - Andrea Mantovani, Gelson Fernandes and Bojan Jokic resumed training. The first two are almost certain to start, whereas the Slovenian will probably start from the bench.
Chievo will love to inflict more misery on Inter in this match. They are not yet safe from the threat of relegation but four or five more points this season should be sufficient to remain in Serie A.
The Betting Verdict :
Take Inter Milan to win and give the 1 1/4 ball here.
