Stadio Marassi
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inter will be keen to impress again after their 4-0 win over Siena but Sampdoria will be no pushovers. The port club have been one of the revelations of the season and are set to make it tough for the Nerazzurri.
Samp grabbed a 0-0 draw at the San Siro earlier this term and will be keen to finally beat an Italian giant at home after Marassi defeats against Milan and Juventus. Walter Novellino’s side grabbed a point at Lazio last week when Bazzani was again on target.
He’s netted his side’s last three goals which is of some relief as they are still without the injured Francesco Flachi. However, young Giacomo Cipriani has put his injury problems behind him and is now proving his worth.
Inter boss Zac is expected to keep faith with the men that beat Siena given the fact that both Christian Vieri and Obafemi Martins are still experiencing some fitness problems. Recoba will keep his place on the right after his stunning display.
New signings Adriano and Stankovic also impressed at the San Siro on Sunday. Even if Zac still has problems in central midfield as Cristiano Zanetti and Almeyda are still injured. Emre is banned. Materazzi, suspended until late March, and Coco are also unavailable.
