Catania - Inter
Angelo Massimino Stadium, Saturday October 15, 201 at 18:00

Referee: ORSATO  Assistants:  DI LIBERATORE – MAGGIANI  Fourth Official: RIZZOLI

  Things are getting complicated for Inter with increasing injured players being the latest forward Diego Forlan who is  expected to be out for about one month.  It's the main challenge for Catania coach Vincenzo Montella to grab a victory or even a draw at teh Angelo Massimino.   Inter coach Claudio Ranieri won't be directing the  team because he is suspended for  game.

A rushed  recovery for Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar who was sent home  after injuring during the  international break with his country Brazil national football team for the 2014 World Cup qualification. 

Here is the disciplinary situation.  No suspended players for Catania.  Two suspended players for Inter defender Andrea Ranocchia, Obi and coach Claudio Ranieri all for 1 match game. 

Here is the probable formation for CATANIA (4-3-3): 21 Andujar, 12 Marchese, 14 Bellusci, 3 Spolli, 66 Legrottaglie, 33 Capuano, 4 Almiron, 10 Lodi, 24 Delvecchio, 17 Gomez, 18 Bergessio, 32 Catellani

Here is the probable formation for INTER (4-3-1-2): 1 Julio Cesar, 13 Maicon,   6 Lucio,  25 Samuel, 25 Chivu, 4 Zanetti, 19 Cambiasso, 77 Muntari, 5 Stankovic, 28 Zarate, and 7 Pazzini

Will history repeat?  It's maybe a superstition... last year Milan defeating Palermo  putting them at the top of the table and winning the 18th Scudetto.. However,  this time even if Milan win, they will not reach the top as having only 5 points will add to 8 in case of victory. 

Gossiping about  not a happy Ibrahimovic but feeling "tired"... then, forward Antonio Cassano with this declarations of quitting in 3 years..   Allegri regrouping his players while recovering defender Philippe Mexes who might make his debut with Milan and in San Siro after his transfer from AS Roma.  Another good news for the rossoneri is the recovery from forward Robinho and super energized for this game to start scoring and do his "dancing" as I heard on Radio Sportiva.

Here is the disciplinary situation.  One suspend player for AC Milan:  midfielder Kevin Prince Boateng.  One suspended player for Palermo:  defender Federico Balzaretti and two players with one yellow card Acquah and Mauricio Pinilla.  Bad news for Palermo because forward Fabrizio Miccoli is not  fully recovered.  All the responsibility in the attack will be up to Uruguay forward Abel Hernandez. 

It's an upside "pineapple cake" here.  Usually, we see AC Milan leading and Palermo struggling for salvation.  Hey, not this time.  Yep.  Palermo rocking Balboa in the 4th position with 10 points waving  from above to the defending champions AC Milan down in the 15th position with only 5 points and a negative -3 goal difference.

It's also an emotional  game for the ex Palermo midfielder Antonio Nocerino who played for Palermo from 2008 to 2011 making 106 caps and scoring 6 goals.  Nocerino transferred  to Milan on August 31, 2011.

Stas in San Siro are in favor of AC Milan.  Out of the 24 games:

20 victores AC Milan

2 draws

2 victoires Palermo

59 goals AC Milan

16 goals Palermo
