Inter Milan vs Fiorentina Preview
For Inter, the defeat to Fiorentina was more than just a setback—it was a missed opportunity. A win in that match would have put them level on points with Napoli at the top of the table. Instead, they now sit second with 51 points, watching Napoli pull further ahead. Worse still, they have now dropped points in two consecutive matches, raising concerns about their title ambitions.
Inter’s record against Fiorentina suggests they have what it takes to respond. In their last 10 meetings in all competitions, Inter have won 7, lost 2, and drawn 1. The numbers favor them, but statistics alone don’t win matches.
Fiorentina, sitting 6th with 42 points, will walk into the San Siro with their heads held high. That emphatic win last Thursday was a statement—one that said they are more than capable of going toe-to-toe with Italy’s best. Having already beaten Inter once, they will believe they can do it again.
However, they should expect a different Inter Milan this time. The wounded lion is the most dangerous, and Simone Inzaghi’s men will come out fighting.
Inter’s attack, which looked blunt in the last meeting, must find its edge. Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram will be under pressure to deliver, while the midfield must take control early to avoid being outplayed like last time.
As the saying goes, “Revenge is a dish best served cold.” Inter have had a few days to let the humiliation sink in. Now, it’s time to see if they can turn their anger into action.
