Serie A leaders Inter welcome Fiorentina to San Siro this Sunday, a clash that, on paper, pits the league's dominant force against a struggling Viola side. Inter's remarkable season sees them with 25 wins from 33 games, boasting a formidable 78 goals scored and a miserly 29 conceded. Their recent form is equally impressive, remaining unbeaten in their last five outings with three wins and two draws.
However, Fiorentina arrive with a surprising upturn in form, mirroring Inter's last five games with three wins and two draws, despite their overall win rate of just 25%. This recent resurgence makes them a potential banana skin. The historical head-to-head also offers a nuanced view; while Inter secured a dominant 3-0 victory last time at San Siro, a 1-1 draw in their last encounter and a 3-0 Fiorentina win previously highlight the unpredictability. Watch for Inter's attacking prowess against a revitalized Fiorentina defense, and whether the home side can maintain their Scudetto charge against a team with nothing to lose.
