Inter vs Roma, Coppa Italia Final, 24 May

Its not over yet.

After dramatic scenes crowning Inter champions of Italy for the 3rd year in a row, now the focus shifts to the Coppa Italia Final next week where Inter face Roma for the 4th year in a row.

These two clubs have made the Coppa Final a personal duel over the past 4 years, with Inter winning the final twice, and Roma once.

This season, the final will be a one legged affair for the first time in history... and unfortunately, it will be hosted in Rome, so it will be like a home game for Roma.

Roma will be gunning for taking some revenge for the Scudetto loss, while Inter will be hoping to take revenge on the last seasons loss in the coppa final.

Who do you think will win it??

Roma

I too think Roma will be more motivated for this. And with home support, they should be the stronger side.

Yeah, and inter will probbaly rest all their players who have injury doubts, which could include Zanetti, Stankovic, Ibra, & Burdisso apart from the surely injured Cambiasso, Cordoba, Samuel, Dacourt, Figo, and Chivu. IMO thats what makes the difference, even more than the home advantage and motivation.

We should give some youngsters a chance, players who have done well when called this season like Rivas, Pele, Bolzoni, & Balotelli. This will do their confidence a lot of good.

Tomorrow is the season ender!

Roma vs Internazionale!

Expected Inter starting XI:

----------------Toldo
Maicon - Burdisso - Chivu - Maxwell
Zanetti - Vieira - Pele - Stankovic
----------Balotelli - Crespo

Good to see some kids in the squad - Fatic, Filippini, Pele and Balotelli. I hope Fatic and Balotelli get to start, it will be a great occasion for two talented youngsters. Balotelli is almost sure to start now, probably alongside Crespo.

I also hope Jimenez gets a game.
