Inter Milan should win this match with home comforts on side, and yet they have made a habit in recent times of making hard work of what should be straightforward assignments.
Palermo are tough, plucky and well organised, but clearly lacking the quality to really trouble Frank de Boer's men.
The visitors won't give up here and are likely to make for a difficult afternoon's work for Inter. Expect the hosts to triumph, but they certainly won't have things all their own way.
