Fiorentina vs Inter

Fiorentina vs Inter Milan Preview: Probable Lineups, Prediction, Tactics, Team News & Key Stats ahead of the Serie A clash.

Fiorentina will be expected to put up a good fight, but the Nerazzurri’s quality and strength in depth should eventually prevail. His ability to run into space and link up with his teammates makes him the ace in Inzaghi’s pocket. Andre Onana appears to have replaced Samir Handanovic as the club’s number-one goalkeeper and should retain his spot in between the sticks. Martinez will be keen to continue his scoring spree and is likely to be Inter’s most dangerous attacker on the night. He will be accompanied by Edin Dzeko with Lukaku and Joaquin Correa having to settle onto the bench. Italiano is likely to go with a 4-3-3 on the night. The Italian missed last week’s game against Sampdoria and is now close to returning to action. Fiorentina, for their part, are 13th in the table and will need to get points on the board. The Belgian’s return should give the Nerazzurri more options to choose from at a time when games are coming thick and fast. Simone Inzaghi’s Inter Milan goes into the trip to Fiorentina on the back of consecutive wins in the league. To put it into perspective, only bottom-placed Sampdoria have found the back of the net fewer times. A win on the night will see the Nerazzurri stay within sight of the top.

Always nice to welcome one of the national giants when you're at your most fragile.

I’ll back Nico (from the spot) and Cabral (finally getting a break) for the good guys and Martínez for the bad guys in a game that’s just plain weird, with periods of open, inspired play matched by periods of insipid, unwatchable play. It’s at the back where they’ve looked a bit lost, with Milan Škriniar and Stefan de Vrij in particular falling off a bit this year. Inter are 3rd in possession this year and just 3 of their 18 goals are unassisted, which indicates just how well they’ve worked together as a unit going forward. They sit 7th with 18 points, having already lost at Lazio and Udinese by identical 3-1 scorelines and fallen to Milan in the derby. The fullbacks, too, will need to combine in the wide areas to tempt Inter out of shape. Sofyan Amrabat will anchor the midfield with two of Giacomo Bonaventura, Alfred Duncan, and Antonín Barák in front of him. As a result, Fiorentina are sitting in 13th place with 10 points (including a -4 goal difference), which is good for even with Salernitana and Monza. In 183 previous meetings, the Viola hold a record of W49 D58 L76 against the Nerazzurri, including 10 straight without a win and a [1-3 defeat](https://www.violanation.com/2021/9/21/22686391/fiorentina-1-3-inter-milan-recap-highlights-goal-sottil-darmian-dzeko-gonzalez-red-card-serie-a) in this fixture last year that’s more memorable for a round of applause. Weirdly enough, he was the ref last time the Viola beat Inter: a [5-4 carnival in 2017](https://www.violanation.com/2017/4/23/15394676/fiorentina-5-inter-milan-4-recap-review-player-ratings-babacar-icardi-vecino-serie-a). Those 10 points are just 1 more through 10 games than the cursed 2020-2021 season, in which the club ended with 40, their worst performance in 20 years. It’s worth noting, too, that the ultras are growing increasingly restless with the team, so another silent first half from the Curva Fiesole (as we saw against Heart of Midlothian) could be on the cards. The referee for this one is 44-year-old Paolo Valeri of Rome.

Saturday's Serie A action closes out at the Stadio Artemio Franchi as Fiorentina and Inter go head-to-head in a handsomely-looking fixture.

The abovementioned triumph at Sassuolo helped Inter snap a dreadful three-game losing away streak in Serie A. Before Lazio ran riot to humble Fiorentina 4-0 in the last Serie A fixture held at the Franchi, La Viola had gone unbeaten in their opening four home league matches (W2, D2). So their free-scoring form may have to undo the damage again. Indeed, Fiorentina have won none of their last ten top-flight encounters against the Nerazzurri (D5, L5) since a ‘goal-friendly’ 5-4 home triumph in April 2017. Despite arresting an underwhelming run of back-to-back Serie A defeats without scoring, the 44-year-old manager faces an uncertain future in Florence. Fiorentina may have put a half foot into the Europa Conference League knockout stages, but their Serie A form has been an utter waste.
