Inter Milan will be looking to maintain their recent good form as they travel to Fiorentina in Serie A on Saturday. The hosts have struggled lately and should find things difficult against a confident Inter side.
Fiorentina are coming off a 1-1 draw at Lecce in their previous Serie A fixture. They were made to come from behind with Christian Kouame's effort just after the break earning them a share of the spoils.
That result highlights one of the problems for Fiorentina, who are yet to get going domestically this season. La Viola have only claimed two Serie A wins so far and have also suffered three defeats in their last five matches in the league.
Things are also difficult for Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, where they have won just once in their last four matches. Vincenzo Italiano’s men were beaten 4-0 by Lazio in their previous home fixture in Serie A.
Inter Milan are coming off a 2-0 victory over Salernitana in their previous Serie A fixture. They were comfortable throughout as goals in each half from Lautaro Martinez and Nicolo Barella gave them the win.
The Nerazzurri appear to be slowly returning to their best form and have now claimed three wins and a draw from their last four matches across all competitions. They are still seventh on the Serie A table, although recent results have put them just six points off leaders Napoli.
One thing that could still use some work is Inter Milan’s form on their recent travels. They have lost three of their last four away matches in Serie A. However, Simone Inzaghi’s men will have something to build on as they claimed a 2-1 victory at Sassuolo in their previous Serie A fixture on the road.
