The starting lineup for each team in their last match in this tournament.
Fiorentina
Raffaele Palladino's side triumphed 2-0 away against Como in the last round. As a result, Fiorentina secured their seventh consecutive victory in the league – a streak not seen since 1998. Additionally, the club kept a clean sheet for the sixth time this Serie A season, with only ten goals conceded, trailing only Juventus (7) and Napoli (9) in this regard. In the standings, the Florentines are among the leaders with 28 points, just one point behind Napoli, who occupy the top spot.
- The club has not lost in their last ten home matches in Serie A (6 wins, 4 draws).
- Both teams have scored in 13 of Fiorentina's last 14 home league matches.
- At least three goals have been scored in 8 of Fiorentina's last 9 home Serie A games.
Inter
In the last round, Simone Inzaghi's side demolished Verona 5-0 away. Consequently, Inter secured their eighth win of the current Serie A season, with three of those being by a large margin. Furthermore, the team extended their unbeaten run in the league to eight matches (6 wins, 2 draws). In the standings, the Milanese are level with Fiorentina – both clubs have 28 points and identical goal difference (+17).
Defender Benjamin Pavard will miss the game due to injury.

Fiorentina vs. Inter: Match Prediction
The Florentines try to play actively and spend a lot of time in attack at home. The team's scoring ability is impressive: in 8 of their last 9 home Serie A matches, they scored at least twice, including two instances where they netted five goals. However, Fiorentina is not flawless defensively, allowing mistakes: in their last 16 home league matches, they kept a clean sheet just once.
Inter rarely struggles in creating chances, even away from home. The team scores regularly and in large numbers: in their last 32 away Serie A matches, the Milanese failed to breach the opponent's defense only once, and in 20 of these games, they scored at least two goals. Meanwhile, Inter kept a clean sheet just four times in their last 11 away matches.
I expect a high-scoring game from both opponents in this encounter. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
