Italian Serie A
2008-05-11 - Inter Milan vs Siena
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:Inter Milan will be looking to celebrate winning the Scudetto this Sunday at their home ground the San Siro, but looking to stop them will be Siena who are full of confidence after their win last weekend and will hope to catch Inter Milan offguard after their derby defeat to Milan last weekend.
Inter will be looking to bounce back after they were beaten by a resurgent A.C Milan side 2-1 at the same venue. Their lead has also been cut to three points after A.S Roma managed to win their match. Now they will be looking to get the win over mid table Siena but failure to do so could see the title be decided on the final day against Parma if A.S Roma gets a win in their match.
Inter just needs one more win but are struggling to the finishing line. There has been talks about a rift between club President Massimo Moratti and Inter coach Roberto Mancini, so if this is to be his last match in charge, he will want to go out on a high winning the scudetto on their home turf.
The visitors on the other hand have accomplished their mission of staying in Serie A for yet another season. Coach Mario Beretta is been rumoured that he will be replaced by former Cagliari boss Marco Giampaolo next season. So Baretta will want to get a surprise result here to keep his place in the side next season.
When the last met in week 5. Inter won by the odd goal. They were supposedly helped by controversial referee decisions then but came through with a double from Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Inter will start this match without striker Ibrahimovic but in Mario Balotelli they have a capable replacement. He is expected to partner Julio Cruz upfront. Defenders Ivan Cordoba and Walter Samuel are out for the rest of the season with injuries which means that Nelson Rivas will start in defence. Luis Figo remains out and possibly will no longer be in the side next season.
As for the visitors, they do not have many injuries with only defender Valerio Bertotto being the only player out.
I will go for Inter Milan to win this match and give the 2 balls away here. Watch out for Julio Cruz to get on the scoresheet.
Cheers and good luck,
