Serie A runner-ups http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan take on Calcio Catania at San Siro – Serie A Preview
Inter Milan keen to win the final clash of 2010/11 season
Inter Milan have had their share of ups and downs in the Italian top flight, but they have managed to cement second spot in the league rankings. The season has been disappointing for the treble winners of 2009/10 season, as they failed to defend the Scudetto
and also were dropped out of the UEFA Champions League in the quarter-finals.
The team has lacked consistency this term on away venues, which cost them valuable points. However, the home form has been stellar and they are ranked number 1 at home turf. The team has played 18 games at San Siro and lost on just one occasion, while they
won 14 and equalized on 3 occasions.
The Nerazzurri are hosts for the upcoming match against Catania at San Siro and are keen to keep their clean run at their own turf.
Calcio Catania stuck with mid-table finishes
Calcio Catania have been stuck in the middle of the table yet again this season. The team finished 13th in the 2009/10 season and had hopes to deliver a better finish to the ongoing campaign. Results this term have been on the contrary. The Rossazzurri
are 11th in the Italian top flight with 46 points, 2 points behind Genoa and just a solitary point ahead of Parma.
The ongoing season has been good at home turf for the Etnei but away form has been in stark contrast. Of the 18 away games so far, the Etnei have won just a solitary match, losing 11 and ending 6 in stalemates. They have not managed a single victory in the
last 5 away games and have lost 3 matches.
The Little Elephants play their final game at San Siro against the Italian giants and they have negligible chances of forging out a result. Only a miracle would see Catania take off maximum points from the Serpent.
Head coach http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-c11058 Simone, though, is confident of his team’s chances and while talking to the official website of the club, the former midfielder said:
"We're going to San Siro with confidence. We hope to do well against Inter. Our performances in this league have demonstrated that, in football, commitment pays. Together our team have done a great http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684.''
