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.
Losing out in this competition might not derail the Nerazzurri’s ambitions in the league and the Champions League however, it will greatly deflate their morale ahead of fixtures with Juventus, Barclona and Lazio.
With these upcoming matches, it expected that Jose Mourinho will not use his regular players as he looks to keep them safe and ready for the “bigger fish”. Inter’s probable line up playing in a 4-3-2-1 formation: Toldo, Maicon, Lucio, Materazzi, Chivu; Zanetti, Cambiasso; Sneijder; Balotelli, Milito, Pandev.
Fiorentina on the other hand will use a 4-4-1-1 formation with:Frey, De Silvestri, Felipe, Kroldrup, Pasqual; Santana, Donadel, Montolivo, Gobbi; Jovetic; Gilardino. It seems like my predictions never come true however, i see Inter losing this one 2-0.
