| PROBABLE LINEUPS |
Inter  Julio Cesar Zanetti, Lucio, Samuel, Chivu Stankovic, Obi, Cambiasso Alvarez, Milito, Zarate | Siena  Pegolo Vitiello, Terzi, Rossettini, Del Grosso Giorgi, Vergassola, Gazzi, Brienza Destro, Larrondo |
In better news, goalkeeper Julio Cesar returns after his suspension, as does centre-back Lucio for the same reason. Nigerian midfielder Obi looks likely to replace Freddy Guarin in a central three, while up front Ricky Alvarez is back from his recent injury lay-off, and should replace Diego Forlan.
Siena boss Giuseppe Sannino looks set to make three changes from the team that beat Atalanta 2-1 on Saturday. Both full-backs are set to swap, with Andrea Rossi and Matteo Contini being replaced with Roberto Vitiello and Cristiano Del Grosso. In midfield, Franco Brienza is back, and could start instead of Paolo Grossi on the left side of midfield.
| DID YOU KNOW? |
-
Inter are unbeaten against Siena in Serie A.
- In the previous 15 meetings between the two sides, only once have the Nerazzurri failed to score.
- Should Stramaccioni's side lose, though, they will equal the club's record for home defeats in a single season with six.
- Siena have won five of their last seven Serie A fixtures.
- This has been the Robur's best Serie A campaign having never picked up 39 points at this stage of the season before.
- The Tuscans' have only conceded 32 goals so far this term, their lowest ever at this stage of the campaign.
- The return fixture back in November ended with Inter winning 1-0.
Under their new coach Inter have been adventurous in attack, and expect that to continue on Wednesday. The team's South American triumvarite up front has produced goals recently, and Siena, despite their current good run of form, look unlikely to cope.
Editor's Prediction
Inter 3-1 Siena
