Inter will have to play their cards really well to keep the race for the Scudetto and the Champions League this season. At this point, Inter are in the 3rd position with 15 points only 4 points away the leaders "Lazio having 19 points." It means that even if Inter win this game they will not be in the first place this week. Inter might conquer the 2nd position if Juventus defeat AC Milan. Milan having 17 points lead the second place .
It's the big day for the ex Genoa star forward Diego Milito returning to the Luigi Ferraris stadium as opponent. Milito, who despite having a brilliant season was not included in the list for the FIFA Ballon d'Or, has received great support from Inter and Genoa fans. Milito injured, but most likely will accompany his teammates for moral support and also salute his ex fans.
Milito played for Genoa from 2004 - 2005 making 59 appearances and scoring 33 goals. From 2008 - 2009 making 31 appearances and scoring 24 goals.
Inter will play against Tottenham for the Champions League on Tuesday November 2.
Genoa coach Gian Piero Gasperini saying that it is not that he will use some exorcism to defeat Inter, but will certainly set a a well studied strategy. Surely, Genoa not looking to suffer another 5-0 defeat as they did last year with Inter led by Jose Mourinho. This time Gasperini will deal with the Inter of Benitez.
Here is the disciplinary situation. No suspended players for Genoa and Inter. Three players carrying one yellow card for Sampdoria: Rafinha, Dainelli, and Milanetto.
Here is the probable formation for GENOA (3-4-3): Eduardo,Chico, Dainelli, Ranocchia, Rossi, Milanetto, DomenicoCriscito, Rafinha, Rudolf, Luca Toni ,and Giandomenico Mesto.
Here is the probable formation from INTER (4-2-3-1): JulioCesar, Maicon, Lucio, Walter Samuel, Cristian Chivu, Javier Zanetti,Esteban Cambiasso, Goran Pandev, Wesley Sneijder,Philippe Coutinho and Samuel Eto'o.

Brescia with a home game will target to capitalize on the crowd support to win this game. A victory can put Brescia among the top 10 teams.
Here is the thing guys, Brescia will need a home victory to break their four consecutive defeat and grab some points. It iwll be a matter on who wanted it more.... technique vs motivation. Napoli might cause a surprise and defeat Brescia as they have not lose this season an away game.

Palermo defender Federico Balzaretti if playing will be celebrating his 100th official game with Palermo.
Palermo forward Massimo Big Mac Maccarone scoring 97 goals and look to score a hat-trick against Lazio to complete his 100th professional goals. Talking about missing 3 goals, and Lazio also in need to score 3 more goals against Palermo to complete 100 goals... wow, you bet this is a stat Palermo are not willing to concede this weekend. Though, Hernanes, Mauro Zarate and Sergio Floccarei will target to score those 3 goals to give Lazio the victory.
Chances for Lazio to win at the Barbera? High. Yep! Out of the last official 11 games, Lazio have lost only 1 game including in Serie A and Coppa Italia. Lazio winning 9, 1 draw, and 1 lost.
