SA - Football - Italy - Serie A

I expect Inter to win this match. They are in excellent form, three wins on the last three league matches. They beat Empoli 3:0, Lazio 3:1 and Verona 6:0. The players confidence is high and this fact should not be underestimated.

However, the key reason for my pick is connect with the absentees. While Inter are almost complete (only Gosens and Skrinjar are injured), Roma will be missing many important players. The situation is almost critical in defense as Chris Smalling, Marash Kumbulla, Rick Karsdorp and Diego Llorente are out injured, while Zeki Celik is suspended. Mourinho is ready to call up Primavera youth team player Missori, who turned 19 in March, and potentially even give him time on the field. But that's not all, the midfield and attack are also handicapped as Paulo Dybala, Andrea Belotti and Gini Wijnaldum may well be on the bench, but their chances of featuring for more than a few minutes are limited by fitness problems.
