Internazionale vs Palermo Preview
Inter Milan will have no choice but to stitch up their wounds when they take on Palermo at the San Siro in a clash which could define their destiny.
The Nerazzurri will be hoping to rebound from two successive defeats, knowing that anything less than the three points against Palermo could severely dent their title chances at the midway stage of the season.Things went from bad to worse for Inter, as after being knocked out of the Coppa Italia against Napoli last week, they went on to lose their seventh game of the season against lowly Lecce on Sunday. Not only did this result put an abrupt end to their seven-game winning streak but more importantly it saw them fall out of the Champions League qualification zone.

A victory over Lecce could possibly move Inter into third place, as they look to continue to escalate.
