Inter Take It To Udinese

February 28, 2010

Coming off an important mid week victory over Chelsea in the Champions League, Mourinho and his team will be looking to carry the momentum of their win into the Serie A today when they face Udinese in an away match. Now things are really starting to heat up. Inter’s 4 point lead over city rivals Milan hangs on the balance of this tricky fixture.

It is a paradox of sorts when you compare these 2 teams. Inter top the table while their hosts lie in 16th position.  Udinese’s record in their past 5 league games is fairly good with 2 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw. The Nerazzurri on the other hand have a more convincing record with 3 draws and 2 victories.

Inter v Chelsea Preview

February 23, 2010

When the draw was made back in December, everyone looked at this matchup as the glamour tie of the round of 16. Back then Chelsea were riding high and Inter were struggling as little, and nobody gave Inter much of a chance against probably the second best team in Europe.

But luckily for Inter the games are being played now instead of before Christmas. Chelsea do not look as formidable defensively as they did a couple of month ago. Ashley Cole is out injured and John Terry has looked very distracted the last couple of weeks.
