Fiorentina vs Inter Milan prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2020-21
Inter Milan travel to Fiorentina on Friday, knowing that they are only two points behind league leaders AC Milan.
Antonio Conte's side are unbeaten in four league games, but will have to start stringing together wins if they want to overtake Milan at the top of Serie A.
Fiorentina have had an underwhelming season so far. Cesare Prandelli's side currently sit 11th in Serie A and boast the league's second-worst attack. The Viola have scored only 21 goals in their 20 league games.
Inter Milan will hope to make light work of Fiorentina as they continue to put pressure on AC Milan at the top of Serie A.
Fiorentina vs Inter Milan Head-to-Head
Inter Milan will go into Friday's fixture as favorites considering the head-to-head record between the two teams. The Nerazzurri have won three of the last five Serie A meetings between the two sides, with the other two fixtures ending as draws.
Fiorentina may be happy with a draw when the two sides face each other on Friday. Prandelli's side have already fallen to a 4-3 defeat against Inter earlier in the season.
