Serie A Week 30 - 2/4/05 (20.30)
Bologna - Inter
Stadio Dall'Ara
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inter need to win their clash with Bologna to keep ahead in the race for Champions’ League qualification. The Nerazzurri lead Udinese by two points but with Sampdoria and Palermo breathing down their necks, Roberto Mancini’s side cannot afford any slips.
Bologna themselves have a UEFA Cup spot on their mind and, with a six point gap opening up between them and sixth-placed Palermo, it will also be vital for the Rossoblu to take something from this game. However, with just one win in their last seven games, and a defeat to bottom club Atalanta and five draws in that run, they will be long shots to overturn Inter.
The San Siro side are unbeaten on their travels this season but have drawn 10 of those matches. Without the attacking options of Adriano and Alvaro Recoba, along with midfielder Dejan Stankovic who are all out injured, it will be left to Obafemi Martins - who hasn’t scored since early February - and Julio Cruz to lead the frontline. Bologna are missing Leonardo Colluci and Federico Giunti from their midfield as both players are suspended.
A repeat of the draw in November would seem like a good bet for this encounter. On that occasion Inter twice threw away the lead with Fabio Petruzzi and Claudio Bellucci responding to strikes from Sinisa Mihajlovic and Adriano.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bologna (probable): Pagliuca; Juarez, Torrisi, Gamberini; Capuano, Loviso, Amoroso, Bellucci; Locatelli, Meghni; Cipriani
Inter (probable): Toldo; J. Zanetti, Cordoba, Mihajlovic, Favalli; Van der Meyde, Cambiasso, Veron, Kily Gonzalez; Cruz, Martins
