Inter vs Fiorentina: Match Preview
Inter fell 1–3 to Napoli in their latest outing, slightly slipping behind the Serie A leaders. After eight rounds, the Nerazzurri sit fourth with 15 points — just three off the top. There’s no cause for panic, though, as the standings remain tight: only five points separate the top six teams. That defeat marked Inter’s third league loss of the season, following earlier setbacks in Rounds 2 and 3.
Fiorentina, meanwhile, have endured a dreadful start to the new Serie A campaign. The Viola are yet to win a single league match this season. With eight points from eight games, they occupy 18th place — level with Pisa — and trail 17th position by just one point. There’s still time to turn things around, but this is far from the fight Fiorentina had envisioned. They are nine points adrift of the European qualification spots and must urgently improve their performances to climb the table.
Probable Lineups
- Inter Milan: Martinez; Bisseck, Acerbi, Augusto; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Sucic, Dimarco; Bonny, Martinez
- Fiorentina: De Gea; Pongracic, Mari, Ranieri; Dodo, Mandragora, Nicolussi Caviglia, Ndour, Gosens; Gudmundsson, Kean
Prediction
Fiorentina find themselves in a difficult position, though Inter are hardly at their best either, struggling for consistency. Still, after losing to Napoli, the Nerazzurri will be eager to bounce back on home soil. The hosts are expected to respond with a victory. My recommendation: back Inter to win.
