The Lega Calcio schedule makers did not do Inter any favours when they released the 2010-2011 Serie A schedule tonight.
Inter open up defence of their Serie A crown away to perennial strugglers Bologna on August 29th. That date will probably be switched as Inter face Atletico Madrid in the European Super Cup on Aug. 27.
“We play the European Super Cup just a few days earlier so we feared a long trip. Bologna is OK,” Inter chief executive Ernesto Paolillo told the Inter website.
Inter’s first home game of the season is against Udinese on September 12th.

If you are an Inter fan you better get your champagne bottles in a bucket of ice as the Nerazzurri are only a game away from successfully defending their scudetto title. I don’t want to seem over confident but Inter did not come this far to see their dream of winning a historic treble crumble at the hands of Siena.
Inter travel to relegated Siena on Sunday with an aim of ending their 2009/2010 campaign with a win. The Nerazzurri’s nearest title challengers AS Roma also finish their campaign away to Chievo and they will be hoping that Inter’s opponents Siena do not ‘hand’ Jose Mourinho the title.

Well Jose Mourinho should be feeling very confident heading into Sunday’s home game against Chievo Verona. The Nerazzurri are just two games away from successfully defending their scudetto title and after clinching the Italian Cup on Wednesday, Inter will be looking to inch even closer to winning their 2nd trophy by beating mid table Chievo.
The Gialloblu or flying donkeys are at least assured of top flight football next season even in the event of a lose. Inter on the other hand must win to have complete control of their destiny. With Roma aiming to take their title challenge down to the last match day, Inter cannot afford to take any chances on Sunday.

Roma will be hoping that their city Rivals Lazio can do them a favour and beat Inter Milan at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday to at least give them hope of winning the scudetto. The Giallorosso, who trail Inter by 2 points, travel to the Stadio Ennio Tardini tomorrow to play against Parma knowing that anything other than a win will surely end their title hopes.
After qualifying for the Champions League final for the first time since 1972, and having made it through to the Copa Italia final,the Nerazzurri are enjoying the kind of form that is only comparable to the great Inter side of the 60s.

Barcelona are looking to overturn their 2 goal deficit when they host Inter Milan tomorrow night in the return leg of their semi final Champions League fixture. The Catalans who are looking to make it to their third successive finals appearance in 4 years will however have to do more than the necessary if they are to beat the Nerazzurri.
The man behind Inter’s European ‘revival’ Jose Mourinho will again want to prove the kind genius he is when he tactically assembles his troops in the absence of play maker Wesley Sneijder. Sneijder was substituted at half time in Inter’s 3-1 win over Atalanta on Saturday.

Inter should bag all the three points tomorrow when they face lowly Atalanta at the San Siro. With 4 games left to play, the Nerazzurri are 1 point behind leaders Roma who host 4th place Sampdoria at the Stadio Olimpico. All eyes will be on the Roma – Sampdoria fixture as any slip ups might very well end their title hopes.
Fresh from a 3-1 routing of Barcelona on Tuesday, ( brace yourselves because you will be hearing this for the rest of the season), Inter Milan should make light work of Atalanta. However, the Nerazzurri should be wary of underestimating the Orobici.

Fresh from a convincing 2-0 win over Juventus on Friday coupled with Barcelona’s subsequent barren draw against city rivals Espanyol on Saturday, the Nerazzurri are hot favourites to win tomorrow’s first leg Champions League semi final tie at the Guiseppe Meazza stadium.
Perennial danger man Samuel Eto’o seems to have found his scoring boots and Mourinho will be counting on him to deliver the goods. The Cameroonian international is enjoying an amazing return to form and he will be one of Barca’s biggest problem’s. Yes one of the problems.

Tonight Inter Milan welcome Juventus to the San Siro for an exciting Serie A fixture that could restore their scudetto hopes. Inter who have never lost a home game since Jose Mourinho took over almost 2 years ago, will go into this match with one eye fixed on next weeks Champions League semi final fixture against Barcelona.
This is a must win game for both sides. Juventus need to win this game if they are to keep their Champions League dream alive while Inter know that any slip ups can effectively end their title ambitions. Juventus coach Alberto Zaccheroni has maintained that he is only looking to avoid defeat. Of course beating Inter is something that will be quite difficult for the Bianconeri.

Well, both these teams square it out tonight at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in the final of the Coppa Italia. Inter Carry a 1-0 advantage to this game although that is not sufficient enough to guarantee them a spot in the final. Judging by Saturday’s result, Jose Mourinho will this time want to make sure his boys can capitalise on all the chances they create.
Mourinho who was openly annoyed with Inter’s draw, knows that he cannot afford to underestimate the Viola. Fiorentina lost the first leg of this match at San Siro 1-0 however, they will have been boosted by Saturday’s performance. Inter on the other hand are still in the hunt for winning the ever elusive treble.
