Inter Milan vs. Fiorentina: Can Fiorentina Dent Inter’s Scudetto Dreams?

Benson Chikezie, Senior Author

As we enter into the business end of the Serie A, 2021/2022 season, the race for the Scudetto and European qualification continues to heat up. Inter are actively involved in the former, while Fiorentina can only settle for the latter. Inter host Fiorentina at the Guiseppe Meazza Stadium on the 19th of March, 2022, and the game kicks off by 22:30 IST.

Inter Milan are 4 points off the summit with a game in hand and are looking to retain their crown with AC Milan and Napoli lurking. Fiorentina lost ex-main man Vlahovic in January, but they remain in the running for European qualification and are only two points shy of sixth-placed AS Roma. We expect an exciting encounter as two Italian giants clash in what has been a competitive league season.

Teams Status

Take a look at the latest form and team news for both sides:

Inter Milan Form and Team News

The Nerazzuri are one of Italy’s biggest football clubs and, after a lengthy slump, have finally found elite status again. They nicked the title off Juventus last season and are in the running to defend their crown, alongside AC Milan and Napoli. However, with only 3 wins in their last 10 games in all competitions, they appear to be losing ground on their rivals.

Inter sit third in the league, 4 points off AC Milan having played a game more, and have only managed 3 draws, 1 win, and 1 loss in their last 5 league games. They are the highest-scoring team in the league, with 61 goals, and have also conceded 23, amassing 59 points so far. They have 17 wins, 8 draws, and 3 losses, and Lautaro Martinez is their top scorer with 14 goals and 2 assists.

For their team news, Inter Milan only have Stefan de Vrij on the sidelines. The center-back has already missed 2 matches with a calf injury.

Fiorentina Form and Team News

Fiorentina appear to be in much better form than Inter on paper and will go into this game on the back of a 1-0 victory at home to Bologna. They have 5 wins, 3 losses, and 2 draws in their last 10 matches in all competitions and responded to 2 straight losses with a draw and a win.

They sit in 8th position in the league, two points less than AS Roma, strongly in the running for a European spot. They have 3 wins in their last 5 league games and will fancy their chances of upsetting this Inter side. 14 wins, 4 draws, and 10 losses is the record Fiorentina have managed, scoring 47 goals and conceding 37. Vlahovic scored most of their goals before his departure, and after him, Cristiano Biraghi has contributed the most with a tally of 4.

For their team news, Fiorentina do not have any injuries to deal with presently, meaning that they have all their options available to them ahead of the trip to Turin.
