 LAST MEETING


February 6, 2011: Inter 5-3 Roma

Samuel Eto’o netted a brace to guide Inter past Roma in an eight-goal thriller at San Siro. Wesley Sneijder opened the scoring in the early going before Fabio Simplicio levelled proceedings ten minutes later.

Inter then took control of the game with Eto’o scoring on either side of the half-time interval before Thiago Motta extended the lead to 4-1 over the ten-man visitors.

However Roma refused to wilt and mounted a comeback scoring two goals in six minutes to pull within a goal before Cambiasso sealed it for the champions late on.

Players to Watch
Francesco Totti
Francesco Totti
Position: Striker
Squad Number: 10
Games Goals YC RC
2 0 0 0
The club legend has been in sensational form recently finding the back of the net for fun in the last five games. The veteran will be eager to extend his goal streak to six matches and take a first-leg lead against Inter in the process.
Eto'o
Eto'o
Position: Striker
Squad Number: 9
Games Goals YC RC
0 0 0 0
The goals have dried up for Samuel Eto’o and it’s no coincidence that Inter have gone into a downward spiral recently. The Coppa Italia is the only piece of silverware that is realistically available to be won and the Cameroon hitman must rediscover his scoring touch if Inter are to lift the Italian cup once again this season.

Prediction
Both teams are coming off disappointing losses and will likely miss out on their major objectives this season. Inter will look to defend their Coppa Italia crown but their back line has been porous and Roma will take advantage in a high scoring affair.
