Inter Milan will be keen to return to winning ways in Serie A on Saturday when they host relegation-threatened Pescara at San Siro.
The Nerazzurri ended 2012 with a disappointing 1-1 draw with Genoa at home and began the New Year with a 3-0 defeat at Udinese.
The results have seen Inter slip to fifth in the league table with 35 points from 19 matches, two points off the final Champions League slot.
On the other hand, Pescara have earned two wins in a row to move up to 15th in Serie A, four points above the relegation zone.
Cristiano Bergodi's side stunned high-flying Fiorentina 2-0 in Florence on Sunday to follow up on their 2-1 victory over Catania at home before Christmas.
Juan Jesus is suspended for Inter following his red card against Udinese. Matias Silvestre is likely to replace him in central defence.
