Fiorentina-Inter, Serie A: streaming, odds, predictions

by Sabrina

Fiorentina-Inter is a match valid for the twenty-second day of Serie A and is played Sunday at 8:45 p.m.: odds, predictions, TV, streaming.

Inter returned from Arabia with the Italian Super Cup in its suitcase, the third since Simone Inzaghi sat on the Nerazzurri’s bench, who on Monday became the winningest coach in this mini-competition thanks to his success in the final against Napoli in Riyadh. Lautaro Martinez and his teammates have thus got their hands on another trophy, the fifth in the last two years, although the main goal still remains the Scudetto, for which there will be a battle with Juventus.

In the Saudi land, Inter confirmed that they are a team that is currently unplayable for almost all Serie A teams: there was no match in the semifinal against Lazio, annihilated 3-0 – but the result is a lie, if we consider the myriad of goals devoured by Inzaghi’s men – while against the Neapolitans, the Nerazzurri risked having to play it out on penalties, thanks to an excellent defensive performance by Walter Mazzarri’s team. The Argentine striker (and who else?) unlocked it in the midst of recovery, when by then the shots from the penalty spot seemed inevitable. Party already over, however, for an Inter team that must respond as soon as possible to Juventus, which in the meantime has overtaken it in the standings and could even lengthen it this weekend – Inter still has one match less than the Bianconeri – since Inzaghi and his team will face an away match full of pitfalls such as the one in Florence.

Fiorentina is also back from its trip to Arabia, but its Super Cup adventure lasted only 90 minutes: Vincenzo Italiano’s team showed its usual limitations in the finalization phase, being mocked on the counterattack by a guarded Napoli, which in the final even went on the rampage (3-0). In the new year, the Viola has yet to win: a defeat to Sassuolo and a draw with Udinese put fourth place at risk. Behind Lazio, Atalanta, Bologna and Roma are all breathing down the lily-white’s neck.

Fiorentina-Inter: the latest lineup news

For Italiano the good news is that Nico Gonzalez has started training with the group again. The Argentine will be in the squad but should start from the bench. Sottil is likely to be seen again, preferred to Brekalo – the Croatian seemed on the verge of leaving Florence – and Ikoné, also at the center of market rumors, will also start from 1′. In defense chance for Faraoni, so far the only purchase in this winter session.


Inzaghi must revolutionize the midfield: he will be without two senators like Calhanoglu and Barella, who are disqualified, and in their place it will be Asllani and Frattesi. Behind Bastoni towards forfeit after adductor strain.

The Prediction.
The absences of Calhanoglu and Barella certainly reduce the distance between Inter and Fiorentina, but for the Viola it is not an easy moment, not least because of a market that has not yet taken off. In any case, the Nerazzurri, despite being re-strengthened, have not lost in Florence for six games and should get a positive result, taking advantage of the amnesias of the Italian lineup. On the night of the “Franchi” the total goals are likely to be at least three: goals have never failed in the last two challenges played in the Tuscan capital.

The probable lineups of Fiorentina-Inter

FIORENTINA (4-2-3-1): Terracciano; Faraoni, Milenkovic, Martinez Quarta, Parisi; Arthur, Duncan; Ikoné, Bonaventura, Sottil; Beltran.
INTER (3-5-2): Sommer; Pavard, de Vrij, Acerbi; Darmian, Frattesi, Asllani, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Lautaro Martinez, Thuram.

POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-2
