Roma defender Cicinho is certain that the Giallorossi will win the Scudetto, but they might have to make do without Alexander Doni in Catania.
Inter are still strong favourites to lift the Serie A silverware, despite seeing their lead reduced to a single point after last weekend’s slip-up against Siena.
The capital club need Parma to stop the Nerazzurri while they beat Catania if they are to triumph, but Cicinho is confident.
“Roma will definitely win the title,” he claimed. “We have done so much and we are such a focused and united group looking to succeed in the League and the Cup.
“I am nervously waiting for Sunday. I don’t know what is going through the minds of the Inter players, but I had a similar position in Spain and I know how much pressure I felt.
“Psychologically it’s difficult for them and we are more relaxed. They have a better percentage chance of winning because things are up to them but our chances have improved.
“It’s not a matter of justice if we win the title because Inter are also a great team.”
Cicinho has even thought ahead to the reception that will await Luciano Spalletti’s men if they return from Sicily triumphant.
“I was talking to my neighbour and they told me what happened when Roma won it in 2001 and I would expect the same.
“It’s a shame that the fans can’t come to Catania because they could have filled an entire stadium but I’m sure that they will be waiting for us at Fiumicino Airport.”
However, Roma have concerns over the fitness of goalkeeper Doni as they prepare for their epic weekend.
The Brazilian custodian continues to feel pain in his right shoulder and missed training today, leaving understudy Gianluca Curci on red alert.
