Rematch of the quarterfinals of Coppa Italia. The winner of this duel, the most interesting one in this round, will be the favourites for the trophy together with Roma who qualified for the semifinals last night. Each clash of Inter and Juventus is full of tension and a great desire for victory, so though this is only the cup we should expect a great fight. First game ended without winners, 2:2 which is the result that suited bianconeri better. Still, don’t forget that Inter played almost 80 minutes without sent off Burdisso and even so they took 2:0 lead. Juventus leveled the score in the finish and once again showed that they are most dangerous in the finish.
Juventus have injury issues but they easily beat Livorno
Juventus marked their first victory in 2008 on Sunday. They beat Livorno, after a draw against Catania and Sampdoria so Ranieri can relax since his team are firm on the third place. It wasn’t a memorable play but the quality decided. Still, the hosts will start this duel without injured Buffon and Chiellini, Andrade, Marchionni, Zebina are also out of the team. Grygera is suspended so Ranieri will again be forced to combine the back line. The back-up form Lazio, Stendardo will have his debut while Camoranesi is recovered but cannot hold 90 minutes. He will probably enter in the second half. Juve are very motivated although judging by the stats they are weaker than Inter but home ground is a great advantage which was seen in Serie A when Inter had the control but Juventus picked up a point.
Serie A and the Champions League are the priority for Inter but each win over Juventus is golden
Traditionally Inter don’t do well in Torino but after banishing their great rival to Serie B, Inter singled out on the top of Italian football and regardless of the constant help of the referees they have the best team. Mancini was not satisfied after the game in Udine, accused the referee Rosseti for suspension of Cesar; however the Brazilian earned two yellow cards in a couple of minutes. So the objections of Inter’s coach should be realised as a pressure and dissatisfaction because his team were better even with ten players and they didn't score. They ill try win at Olimpico. Burdisso is suspended, Ibrahimovic remained in Milan and Dacourt and Samuel are injured. Inter will field the combined line-up with Rivas, Pele, Solari as starters which means that the coach will rest the players for the next match in Serie A. This of course brings about the question of neroazzuri’s ambitions in the cup.
Betting Verdict
If Inter were complete they would be the favourites… Not only do Juventus have a chance but they will have the advantage of excellent tandem Trezeguet - Del Piero. If they repeat the play from Livorno, defense of the guests will be troubled. On the other hand excellent Cruz and Suazo will have a much easier job because although Stendardo is a good player, he needs time to fit in. The attacks are stronger parts of both teams which was obvious in the first game at Meazza. That is why over 2.5 goals is the best choice.
Our tip: Bet 5 on Over 2.5 goals
