Form
Fiorentina
Fiorentina are unbeaten in their last four games in all competitions and their recent win against Rakow Czestochowa (2-1) which helped them progress to the quarter finals of the Conference League have boosted their morale.
Their most recent league encounter was a convincing 4-1 away win against Cremonese.
Inter Milan
Inter Milan’s recent form reveals struggles: just one win in the last five across competitions. In their most recent encounter, they drew 1-1 against Atalanta.
Before that, they lost to city rivals AC Milan in the derby. Although they still lead by a healthy margin in the Serie A table, Cristian Chivu’s men will certainly look to avoid any slip ups let the lead reduce any further.
