Kick-Off: February 10, 2010, 20:45 CET.
Ennio Tardini Stadium, Parma.
Struggling For Points
Parma's second half of the 2009-2010 campaign is gradually transgressing into a disaster. The Gialloblu are currently 13th in the Serie A table with 29 points from 22 matches.
But Parma have been struggling since the resumption of the league in January and have lost their last two league matches and haven't won in their last five. The situation is worsening to such a degree that Parma are now just seven points above the relegation zone.
However, Parma have a strong record at home as they have won six league games and lost twice, conceding just seven goals in the process.
Wrapping Up The Scudetto
Inter have been garnering the points with ease and have gone eight points clear at the top of the Serie A table. The Nerazzurri conquered Cagliari with relatively little effort and without Lucio and Wesley Sneijder at the weekend, defeating them 3-0 in Milan.
A win on Wednesday evening would put Jose Mourinho's side 11 points ahead of the chasing pack and with Milan having lost their momentum since their Derby della Madonnina defeat and Roma's ambition limited to finishing second and nothing more, Inter would have effectively secured their fifth successive Serie A title.
FORM GUIDE
Inter
Damiano Zenoni, Hernan Crespo and Blerim Dzemaili all are unavailable while Hernan Paolo Dellafiore, Alberto Paloschi and Antonio Mirante are struggling with injuries. Both Christian Panucci and Massimo Paci are suspended.
Probable Lineup (4-3-1-2): Mirante, Zaccardo, Lucarelli, Dellafiore, Castellini; Valiani, Morrone, Galloppa; Jimenez; Biabiany, Bojinov
Inter
Both Cristian Chivu and Dejan Stankovic are out with injuries while Wesley Sneijder is suspended. But Lucio returns.
Probable Lineup (4-3-3): Julio Cesar, Maicon, Lucio, Samuel, Santon; Zanetti, Cambiasso, Thiago Motta; Balotelli, Milito, Eto'o
PLAYERS TO WATCH
Valeri Bojinov (Parma)
The Macedonian international was sensational against Cagliari at the weekend and scored a goal. It was Pandev's third goal in five league matches for the Nerazzurri and he has also supplied two assists. Goran Pandev has been hugely important for Inter and has replaced Sneijder in the creativity department and would again be at the centre of things on Wednesday evening.
PREDICTION
Inter are unstoppable in the league at the moment and although Parma are no easy pushovers, it would be difficult for the Gialloblu to get anything from this fixture.
Parma 0-2 Inter
