Inter Milan will put their 100% record on the line as they welcome Fiorentina to the San Siro for a Serie A fixture on Sunday. La Viola are often a difficult team to face but with the Nerazzurri looking confident at the moment, a home win could be on the cards.
Inter Milan appear to be a team on a mission as they have made an impressive start to the season. They have won their opening two matches and are one of only four Serie A teams still maintaining a 100% record.
The Nerazzurri began their campaign with a 2-0 victory at Monza before picking up a similar result at newly promoted Cagliari. The key thing about their performances so far is their defensive showings as they are yet to concede a goal after two matches.
One thing that will give Inter Milan more confidence ahead of Sunday’s clash is their fine record at the San Siro. Simone Inzaghi’s men have won their last four Serie A home matches stretching back to last season, although they have kept just one clean sheet in that run.
Although they do not boast a 100% record like their hosts, Fiorentina still have reasons to be pleased with their start to the campaign. They have claimed a win and a draw from their opening two Serie A matches and are through to the group stage of the Europa Conference League.
Fiorentina began their Serie A campaign with a 4-1 victory at Genoa before being held to a 2-2 home draw by Lecce last time out. They followed up that result with a 2-0 victory over Rapid Vienna on Thursday to progress to the group stage of the Europa League.
While the goals have flowed freely for Fiorentina, they have found it difficult keeping things tight at the back. Vincenzo Italiano’s men have conceded three goals in their two Serie A matches so far and are without a clean sheet in their last five matches, stretching back to last season.
