Fiorentina look a different team this season but will be given a stern test when they welcome Inter Milan to the Stadio Artemio Franchi for an Italian Serie A fixture. La Viola's current form makes them dangerous opponents and while they are likely to cause Inter some problems, the champions' extra quality and experience should give them the edge.
Fiorentina continued their strong start to the season last time out as they claimed a 2-1 victory over Genoa. They raced to a two-goal lead through Riccardo Saponara and Giacomo Bonaventura before Genoa pulled one back in added time.
La Viola have struggled in the last few seasons but look a lot better under new manager Vincenzo Italiano. They have won their three matches since suffering a 3-1 defeat to Roma on the opening weekend and are further up the table than they were at this stage last term.
Fiorentina’s defence has conceded in every match this season and that vulnerability can be exploited by teams with superior attacks.
Inter Milan were in rampant mood in their previous Serie A fixture and claimed a 6-1 victory over Bologna. They took the lead as early as the sixth minute through Lautaro Martinez and never looked back with Edin Dzeko netting a brace while Nicolo Barella, Milan Skriniar and Matias Vecino were also on target.
After being held by Udinese in their previous fixture and following their UEFA Champions League disappointment, it was a good way to bounce back for Inter Milan . They showed their quality against a previously undefeated Bologna side and underlined their status as defending champions.
Inter Milan are still unbeaten in Serie A this season with three wins and a draw from their opening four matches. Simone Inzaghi’s men are also among the leading scorers this term but often suffer the odd loss of concentration at the back which has seen them concede four goals in their last three matches.
How the bookies view it
The bookies have Inter Milan as favourites at 10/11 with betway while a victory for Fiorentina is valued at 3/1 with BetVictor. A draw is set at odds of 14/5 with SBK.
Both teams are often shaky at the back and likely to concede, but Inter Milan’s superior attack should give them the edge here.
