ROMA - INTER: AT THE OLIMPICO IS THE DECISIVE BATTLE.
Ranieri is not risking Totti at the beginning. Mou counts on Sneijder.
Balotelli could remain out of the team until May.
ROMA - INTER IS FOR THE SCUDETTO.
Mou with two results out of three can play just like in London: Sneijder is the key.
Ranieri can win the game in the midfield with Pizarro directing and Riise descending.
The only certainty for the first place Inter, after the Roma storm tonight, and tomorrow evening will be another attempt of coming back for Milan in the race for Scudetto, is that they can either come out of tonight's game with +4 or even +7 points lead, but the advantage could be reduced to +1. Inter have in their hands two favorable results out of three. Mourinho is ready to improvise another performance like the one in the second half at Stamford Bridge, although this time is different module. Sneijder therefore becomes fundamental, because if Mou lacks the trident then Sneijder will give a hand to the two strikers. He can also support the midfield against Roma.
Defense Statistically, Inter have the best defense not only because of Lucio and Samuel but with Cordoba and Materazzi, they are four champions who have allowed Mourinho to dispense with Burdisso, who will be the opponent tonight. With 34 goals allowed (8 more than Inter), Roma have the fifth best defense behind Milan (28), Chievo (29) and even Lazio (32), in addition to Inter of course. In the attack, however, the team teams are quite similar, because behind the leaders (57) is precisely Roma with just 3 goals less.
Midfield The figures, however, don't say that Roma have more solutions and men in the midfield. And in the midfield, Ranieri can win the game with the directing ability of Pizarro, the incursions of De Rossi and Perotta, also the movement of Riise who will face Maicon and this is perhaps the most decisive match-up of the game. The freshness of the Giallorossi will be against the power of the Nerazzurri.
Burdisso vs. Milito: All Argentine duel between the physical strength of the former Inter player and the mobility of the central striker.
Riise vs. Maicon: The confrontation between the two attacking fullbacks could be the decisive wild-card for both teams.
De Rossi vs. Sneijder: Fantasy and power collide. The mobility of the Dutch against the restarts of the Giallorosso.
Toni vs. Samuel: Battle based on the centimeters and elbows between the two towers. Who will jump higher to get a win?
Advantages If Inter have less to lose in terms of the standings, then Roma have less to lose on the psychological level. But this should be the strength, not a limit. Roma cannot afford another 0-0 as three weeks ago against Milan. An opportunity like this to close a sensational championship is unique. Inter will be conditioned by the Champions League game waiting for them at the San Siro. And if they win tonight after the 1-1 in the first leg, then they could definitely win another tricolore in their history. Inter have won at Rome three times in the last three years (1-1 and 4-1 with Mancini) and 4-0 with Mourinho. Because great teams win big matches. And Inter were and are a great team. Until proven otherwise, and the job is now up to Roma.
Appiano Gentile Sneijder is more yes than no. Despite suffering from an injury, the Dutchman trained yesterday and he finished training with his teammates. But the player has decided to exempt from the match. Simple precautions, because Sneijder is well and probably will play from the beginning. The real challenge, however, is the decisive match against CSKA. The midfielder will be in line for Mou only if there are no risks of relapse. The alternative solution is Pandev to complete the trident with Milito and Eto'o, but he can also play the role of the playmaker. Pandev is not in top form so we cannot exclude the use of Stankovic, who might also find space in the midfield if Mou doesn't want to risk Chivu, who returned Wednesday after a stop of two and a half months, Zanetti to be on the left side. Given the importance of the captain in the midfield, the alternatives for the left-back position are Cordoba and Muntari.
