Inter travel to Parma with the advantage of being one point clear of Roma, who themselves must also make the trip to a relegation contender in the form of Catania.

The chain-smoking Zeman bossed the Giallorossi from 1997 to 1999, and he says he has been hugely impressed with the work of current coach Luciano Spalletti, who has worked with a far inferior budget to that of Inter counterpart Roberto Mancini.

"Mancini and Spalletti did not have the same resources at their disposal, both in terms of quality and quantity, so they also had different roles," Zeman explained.

"Mancini was more of an organiser, whereas Spalletti was a Coach and with this campaign managed to prove money doesn't always make the difference. He deserves great credit for that."

Zeman also added that Roma play far more attractive football than Inter.

"If it were a prize for entertainment then yes Roma deserve it, as when in good shape they play the best football in Italy," said teh Czech-Italian.

"However, it's who gets the most points who wins and so far Inter have one more.

"Roma have a 20 per cent chance of taking the title, because anything can happen in 90 minutes of football, but Inter have an 80 per cent shot."
