Inter vs Fiorentina prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2023-03-31 16:00.
A 1-0 defeat against fierce rivals Juventus, which saw Inter Milan lose twice to the Bianconeri without scoring in a single Serie A (SA) season for the first time since 1976/77, has already been the ninth defeat for the Nerazzurri this SA season â a fate they have suffered after the opening 27 rounds just once this century.
Three defeats across their last four league matches (W1) also left Interâs run for the top four wide open and revived speculation about Simone Inzaghiâs managerial future once again. However, with Inter being the only SA team yet to register a draw at home (W11, L3), theyâll be hoping to beef up the win column against Fiorentina who they beat in five of the last six H2Hs (D1).
It could turn out to be a very difficult task, for Fiorentina are travelling to Milan on a seven-game winning run across all competitions, which has seen them not only qualify for the UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-finals but also move back to the top-half of the standings for the first time since mid-January. Consequently, they started this round only four points away from seventh spot (and the potential European place that may come with it).
That aforementioned run also consisted of consecutive clean sheet away league victories which saw Fiorentina net five goals combined in those appearances â 38% of their total SA tally on the road. They havenât held themselves back in the last five SA H2Hs either, netting eight times including two 4-3 thriller defeats.
Players to watch: Interâs NicolĂČ Barella scored twice across his last four meetings with Fiorentina, including the opener in the reverse fixture (W 4-3). That match also saw Fiorentinaâs Arthur Cabral find the net before the break, whilst more recently he boasts an impressive run of four consecutive away goal-scoring outings (G5).
Hot stat: Inter have won a league-high eight home matches (100% win rate) after leading at half-time.
