Fiorentina, on the other hand, are 8th in the league. Having sold star striker Dusan Vlahovic in January, manager Vincenzo Italiano will be pleased to see Polish striker Krzysztof Piatek adapting quickly. The former AC Milan striker has scored three goals in the league since joining on loan from Hertha Berlin in January.
Inter Milan should get back to winning ways here.
