Champions League
2010-02-24 - Inter Milan vs Chelsea
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:Jose Mourinho or the special one as he is known while being the manager of Chelsea claims he knows all there is to know about Chelsea Football club and he will noe be hoping to mastermind the downfall of his former club.
Mourinho will want to make sure that Inter has the advantage to bring to Stamford Bridge and make the full use on home soil at the San Siro.
For the record, Mourinho led Chelsea to back-to-back Premier League titles in 2005 and 2006 and has enjoyed a similar success story with Inter Milan!
However, Inter Milan does not have a good record in the Champions League and it has not been helped by them being handed a tie against Chelsea if they are to get through to the quarter-finals after finishing second to Barcelona in a group that also contained Rubin Kazan and Dynamo Kiev.
Chelsea had a much easier passage and is leaders of the Premiership thanks to their superb home form. Carlo Ancelotti was former coach of A.C Milan so he too knows what to expect from this clash as clashes with Inter Milan in the past is always a big thing in Serie A. The clash has also came to news with personal lives of players but Ancelotti knows his players will keep focus ahead of the game.
As for the team news, the visitors Chelsea will be without a recognised left back as Ashley Cole is a long-term absentee with a broken ankle and Yuri Zhirkov has a calf injury. Paulo Ferreira is ineligible as he is not registered for the competition.
Juliano Belletti is back in the squad along with Alex and Frank Lampard and is now back to match fitness after recovery from a virus that kept him out of the win over Wolves. Ancelotti will still be without the likes of Jose Bosingwa, Michael Essien and Deco through knee injuries.
As for Inter Milan, Julio Cesar will take to the field despite a car accident mishap last weekend. Cristian Chivu is out with a fractured skull and David Santon has a knee problem so they will both miss out. Javier Zanetti will slot in the left side of defence here.
Dejan Stankovic, Sulley Muntari and McDonald Mariga are bttling for a slot in midfield while while Samuel Eto'o should partner Diego Milito in attack.
Go for this game to have UNDER 2 in total goals.
Cheers and good luck,
Cruiser
