The 33rd round of the Italian league kicks off at this time when Inter, the Italian champions, are hosted by Spezia. The Narazuri are in the midst of a triple championship battle and know that victory is worth first place, at least until Milan host Genoa. Anyway Simona Inzaghi’s team has a game in hand and she wants to stay as close to the top as possible to keep the title. The game is broadcast on Channel ONE2 for HOT subscribers, Cellcom TV and Partner TV.
Inter desperately need a win. It came after two consecutive victories when it recorded a 0-2 home win over Verona from goals by Niccolo Barla and Edin Dzeko and defeated Juventus 0-1 in a derby d’Italia from a goal by Cannes Celhanolo in a penalty shootout. The victory over the Bianconeri broke a streak of five consecutive draws in the champions’ away games against an Italian rival.
Thiago Motta’s side arrived after recording their first 0-0 draw of the season in the away game against Ampoli. She is 11 points away from the red line and although she will meet in the remaining 6 games four teams from the top eight she is close to ensuring her stay. For the first time this season Spezia also put together a second game without a draw, when before the draw with Ampoli they defeated Venice 0: 1.
Since Spezia’s promotion to the Premier League last season, the teams have met three times. Inter won both home games including 0: 2 this season in the 15th round, but in the away game the teams split 1: 1 when Ivan Frisic erased an early advantage from Diego Prias. The Croatian loves to play against Spezia and was the one who scored the two goals in the last game between them.
