Inter will be eager to take advantage of Napoli’s recent slip against Udinese and close the four-point gap at the top of the Serie A table. Their attacking intent could lead to a more open game, which may play into the hands of Fiorentina’s in-form attack.

Fiorentina comes into this match with confidence, having convincingly beaten Inter 3-0 at home in midweek, proving their strong run of form is no coincidence. In the past two weeks, they have also secured an impressive 2-1 away win against Lazio, further underlining their momentum.

Currently sitting sixth, just three points behind fourth-placed Lazio, Fiorentina has plenty of motivation to push higher in the standings.

In terms of absences, Inter will be without Denzel Dumfries due to suspension (accumulated yellow cards), while Fiorentina will miss Comuzzo for the same reason. These defensive gaps could add an extra attacking edge to the match.
