Inzaghi predicts 2-0 win
Thursday 9 October, 2003
Italy will beat Azerbaijan 2-0 in their final European Championship qualifier according to Pippo Inzaghi.
The Milan man is expected to start the Reggio Calabria clash alongside Christian Vieri and he’s hoping they will both ripple the net.
"We’ll win 2-0," said the striker. "It would be great if Vieri and I could score as we’ve never netted in the same game before.
"Christian is in good shape after his recent injury and I think he has already forgotten about the disappointment of losing the derby."
Inzaghi will start the game after his recent goals against Wales and Serbia. But there is the feeling that he’s under the most pressure to keep his place in the side.
"I don’t feel as if I’m always being judged more closely than Totti and Vieri," he stated. "No one is guaranteed a starting shirt in this side because that isn’t Trap’s style.
"The Coach is spoilt for choice in attack and he could leave anyone out. The most important thing is to be ready when called upon."
Super Pippo netted four times for Italy last month to take his Azzurri tally to 19. However, he had gone over two years without scoring for Italy before his hat-trick against Wales.
Italy probable: Buffon; Oddo, Cannavaro, Nesta, Zambrotta; Camoranesi, Zanetti, Perrotta; Totti; Vieri, Inzaghi

What is it with people predicting 2-0?? Does this mean Azerbaijan will win 3-1?

No, it won't be as easy, but not so difficult either (or, at least I hope so. It would be too embarassing to see the azzurri suffer tonight)
Have u heard about what happened to the foward of the arz. senior team?
The Rai commentary said that some of the players that played yesterday against the azzurrini could be on the bench tonight.
