Team News

Torino
  • Coach Ventura will most likely keep the same XI that won against Pescara two weeks ago, except for Santana who is in competition with Cerci.
  • A different solution could be starting both of them with Stevanovic out, but the line-up will be a 4-4-2 / 4-2-4 anyway.
  • Sgrigna to partner up with Bianchi in attack.
Inter
  • Stramaccioni should pick Cambiasso and Handanovic over Pereyra and Castellazzi, compared to the XI that faced Roma.
  • Cassano is expected to be on the pitch at kick-off, so Palacio may have to sit on the bench again to start.
  • Ranocchia may keep Samuel sidelined once again, as the coach is trying to put more faith in the younger centre-back.

Prediction

  • Torino will be facing their first big test after taking 4 points from Siena and Pescara. Playing against a big team at home so early in the calendar would bring an extra boost to the enthusiasm in the city.
  • Inter have had two weeks to work and fix things that didn't work against Roma: the Neroazzurri look like the most powerful team in the league up front but they still struggle in defence, with the Ranocchia-Silvestre duo still needing time to gel.
  • Both teams have a direct style of play, with sudden passes up to the attack. Ventura will stick with his very offensive formation in the hope of preventing Zanetti and Nagatomo from pushing forward on the flanks. The real key zone of the match will be the midfield, where the Torino duo may be dominated by Cambiasso's experience and Guarin's dynamism.

    Milan lost their game at home. Inter have a good chance for 2nd spot after Juve.

    2-2- is a good prediction. I would go for over 2.5.
