PREVIEW - Internazionale

On the back of a draw against derby rivals Never Alone, which interrupted the Pars' phenomenal string of 13 wins in a row, Dunfermline will take on second-bottom Internazionale at their home ground of G.Mora on Sunday night.
Internazionale have managed only 4 points in the league so far, courtesy of an away win to New Reds Ponente back in December and an away draw to Xeneixes earlier this year.
The only side to have dropped points, by losing actually, to Aston Villa Scassi, Inter are now on a not-so-memorable run of 7 defeats on the trot and without their main frontman Francesco Argirò, who's recently started to serve a four and a half year ban following his dismissal for violent conduct as against the referee.
Even so, the poor performance against Never Alone will have to work as a sort of wake-up call for table-toppers Dunfermline, at last level on points with Amici di Berto at the summit of the table, a status which is going to be harder to maintain than it's been to reach.
Perugini should start in goal once again , even though signals are good for a forthcoming return of No 1 Marco Semino in a couple of weeks' time, whereas manager Luigi Vanin will be able to count on a full strength defence, Filippi, Frassinelli and Buttitta all being available for selection.
Marletta, Di Noto and Bovalino look set to feature in midfield, and Giuseppe Alberga should finally get his 3rd game in a Pars' shirt, if not his 1st start as well.
Cantelli and Buccianti appear fit to start upfront and, as of now, there are no news of any injuries or inconveniences preventing any other member of the squad from being involved.

Dunfermline hammered Internazionale on the occasion of their first and only encounter so far, the Pars took the lead through a Cantelli's marvellous run and finish, before adding to their tally through Matteo Bovalino.
Noli pulled one back for the home side, before Di Noto slashed home from long range, to collect his first goal for the Fifers.
A late Buccianti's brace sealed the points for Dunfermline, to complete a 5-1 scoreline.
