After winning the Italian Super Cup, Inter Milan turn their attention to Serie A as they travel to Fiorentina on Sunday. The Nerazzurri are still the team to beat and with La Viola looking slightly out of sorts lately, they should claim the upper hand here.
It has been a solid overall campaign for Fiorentina this season as they are pushing for a Champions League place, sitting fourth on the standings. However, they have stumbled slightly in recent weeks, failing to secure a regulation time win in their last four matches across all competitions.
Fiorentina head into Sunday’s clash off the back of a 3-0 defeat to Napoli in the Italian Super Cup semi-final. Prior to that defeat, they played out a 2-2 home draw with Udinese in their previous Serie A fixture, with M’Bala Nzola netting the equaliser three minutes from time.
In the midst of their recent struggles, The Stadio Artemio Franchi has remained a good hunting ground as they are unbeaten in their last five home matches. However, Vincenzo Italiano’s men tend to struggle against the big sides as they suffered a 1-0 home defeat to Juventus before going on that run.
Inter Milan will travel to the Stadio Artemio Franchi on a high after lifting the Italian Super Cup in Saudi Arabia. They claimed a 1-0 victory over reigning Serie A champions Napoli, with Lautaro Martinez’s injury time effort proving the difference.
That win is awarded for Inter Milan’s campaign so far as they are fully in the title race, sitting just one point behind leaders Juventus, with a game in hand. Simone Inzaghi’s men are unbeaten in their last 14 Serie A matches, claiming 11 wins in that run.
Inter Milan have also impressed on their travels and are yet to taste defeat away from home this season. Their last Serie fixture was a 5-1 win at Monza, with Lautaro Martinez netting a brace.
