Serie A Week 11 - 5/11/05 (19.30 UK)
Stadio Olimpico
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Lazio host Inter at the Stadio Olimpico it is bound to be a heated encounter. The Nerazzurri will be after revenge for their match on the last day of the 2001-02 season. With the Milan side top of the table, the 4-2 defeat in that game saw the Scudetto head to Juventus. Such a heavy blow is sure to still be fresh in the fans’ minds going into this match. The Roman outfit will be hoping for a repeat of that surprise result and will be confident after Inter’s one point in two rounds. The Biancocelesti have now gone three games without a win, but are still only four points behind the fourth placed Nerazzurri.
This will also be a big game for Inter Coach Roberto Mancini. The young tactician has both played and Coached with the capital club. The former Lazio striker enjoyed some of the best years of his career in Rome and it is bound to be an emotional return to the stadium where he won Lo Scudetto. With his current side approaching chaos in recent weeks, he will be hoping to keep his critics quiet in this game. He will have to watch from the stands as he serves the second game of his touchline ban, as will the suspended Juan Sebastian Veron. Javier Zanetti returns from a long-term injury, but Kily Gonzalez and Dejan Stankovic are still out. Lazio are without goalkeepers Angelo Peruzzi and Matteo Sereni, joining Felice Piccolo, Paolo Di Canio, Sebastiano Siviglia, Gaby Mudingayi and Valon Behrami on the sidelines.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lazio (probable): Ballotta; Oddo, Stendardo, Cribari, Zauri; Manfredini, Dabo, Liverani, Cesar; Pandev, Rocchi
Inter (probable): Julio Cesar; Cordoba, Materazzi, Samuel, Favalli; Ze Maria, Cambiasso, Pizarro, Figo; Recoba, Adriano
