Two sides who have both won three and drawn one put their unbeaten
records on the line here. Inter followed up a 1-1 draw with Juventus
(the only goal they have conceded so far), with a resounding 7-0 away
win at promoted Sassuolo. Diego Milito celebrated his return from
injury with two from the bench and will hope to push into the starting
line up again. Defenders Chivu and Zanetti are the the only injury
misses now, both out long term. Inter under Mazzarri are proving many
cynics wrong, and last years awful season looks unlikely to be repeated.
Inter have won this fixture for the past twelve seasons, quite a show
of dominance over their rivals going into the game.
-Inter Milan (3-5-1-1): Handanovic – Campagnaro, Ranocchia, Juan – Jonathan, Guarin, Cambiasso, Taider, Nagatomo – Alvarez – Palaci
Fiorentina won 2-0 in Atalanta at the weekend, Rossi settling the game.
They do have important absentees though most notably Mario Gomez up
front. Also out injured are Cuadrado, Iakovenko, Ilicic and Pizarro
serves the last game of a suspension. Aqualini is a class midfielder in
this league, and Rossi is a top notch striker so they still possess a
real threat though.
-Fiorentina (3-5-1-1): Neto – Tomovic, Rodriguez, Savic – Joaquin, Aquilani, Ambrosini, Valero, Pasqual – Fernandez – Rossi.
