Inter vs. Fiorentina: Match Prediction
Inter feels confident at home and plays an attacking style of football. They have no issues with scoring, having found the net in 33 consecutive home league matches. In 11 home games this Serie A season, the team has scored 26 times, the second-best tally in the league. However, Inter's defense has been shaky recently, conceding in 4 of their last 5 home league matches.
Fiorentina aims to spend as much time as possible on the opponent's half, favoring an attacking approach even in away games. In their last 15 away Serie A encounters, the club failed to score only twice, netting at least twice in eight of those matches. However, their defense has become less reliable, and they haven't kept a clean sheet in their last four league games.
I expect both teams to score in this match, so my prediction: Both teams to score – yes
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their last match in this tournament.
