With the expected home opposition from Palermo, Inter Milan will be have to put up a strong show away from home to stay firmly in the race for the Serie A title. Palermo will be encouraged by the fact that their opponents have won four games with a 1-0 score line so far this season, a clear indication that they are suffering from a major goal-scoring crisis.
The Nerazzurri most recently held their perennial rivals Juventus to a goalless draw after wasting numerous chances in front of goal. Inter will approach this fixture with the intention of regaining their winning form, having lost to Fiorentina and drawn with Sampdoria and Juventus respectively.
