Fiorentina and Inter are clashing at Stadio Artemio Franchi in round 5 of the Italian Serie A. Fiorentina are playing surprisingly well so far this season, and they have scored at least 1 goal in each of their last 5 games. Inter has also been firing on all cylinders, and they have scored 15 goals so far this season.
Fiorentina is now in 5th place with 9 points, a solid 7 scored goals, and 6 conceded goals. In their last 3 games, Fiorentina has scored 6 goals, while conceding only 3 goals, and they have won all 3 of those games. Fiorentina was playing against Genoa on the road in their last game, and they were the dominant team in that match with 65% of ball possession, 5 shots on goal, 11 corner kicks, 1 big chance created, and 88% of the correct passes. The first half of this match wasn’t great, but Fiorentina has scored 2 goals in the second half while conceding 1 goal from the penalty spot in the 98th minute. Fiorentina has won this game 1-2. Vlahovic has scored 3 goals for Fiorentina so far this season, while Bonaventura has added 2 assists. The only injured player for Fiorentina is Venuti. I love seeing Fiorentina playing this well, but it makes me wonder how long they can keep it up.
As good and consistent as Fiorentina was so far this season, Inter have been even better. With 10 points, 15 scored goals, and only 4 conceded goals, Inter is now in 2nd place, and they just demolished Bologna in Serie A. Inter has had 45% of ball possession in that game, 11 shots on goal, 5 corner kicks, 7 big chances created, and a high 91% of the correct passes. With 3 scored goals in each half, Inter has deservedly won this game 6-1. Martinez and Dzeko have each scored 3 goals for Inter so far this season, while Barella has added 3 assists, and all of these players are expected to be in the starting lineup. Sensi is the only injured player for Inter at the moment. Inter is doing well in Serie A so far this season, but now it’s the time for them to step up in the Champions League after a disappointing loss to Real Madrid last week. I think Inter can defend the title this season, but the competition is really strong this season in Italy, and it will be an exciting season.
Fiorentina hasn’t lost any of their last 3 games against Inter, while Inter hasn’t lost any of their last 4 games on the road. Fiorentina has won their last 6 home games at home. I think this will be a fun game, and I think Fiorentina will score a goal here, but I see Inter getting the win.
