Fiorentina vs Inter Milan Preview

• Tournament: Serie A 
• Date: Sunday, December 1
• Kick-off Time: 05:00 PM GMT

The clash between two well-to-do sides of Serie A 2024-25. ACF Fiorentina are set to play a home game against defending champions Inter Milan for their 14th game in the current Italian top division this season. The sides have been unbeaten in the league for a long, so we should be expecting some good football to be played at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence, Italy.

ACF Fiorentina have surprised all with their wonderful game, emerging as the fourth best side so far with 28 points, just one below the leaders Napoli. Under Raffaele Palladino, they are showing good skills, and are slowly becoming a side to reckon. They have a very high goal difference, thanks to their balanced attack and defense, who work collaboratively.

Inter Milan are also doing well once again under Simone Inzaghi, good enough to defend the title. They are also hailing 28 points, just one below leaders Napoli. If they start converting the draws, where they share spoils to victories, the tabletop won’t be out of plans.

Key Players to Watch in Fiorentina vs Inter Milan

David de Gea (Fiorentina)

The veteran Manchester United goalie joined the side this summer after staying a year without a club. His inclusion has been the best thing for ACF Fiorentina, as the results speak. He was on the bench for the first three games, the club couldn’t win. He started from the fourth, and in 10 games they have five clean sheets and seven goals conceded only. 

Not only his superb skills but also his leadership has been the key to this club’s success in the domestic season. He knows how to handle big strikers, he has done that in his over decade long spell at the English Premier League. So without much of the analysis too, it can be predicted that David should easily handle the best strikers of Serie A, who play in Inter Milan.

Marcus Thuram (Inter Milan)

The French striker needs no introduction, his spells do it. He has an unbelievable 15 goal contribution in just 13 games of Italy’s top division. He has nine goals, and six assists in his 13 games to be exact, with contributions against sides like Atalanta BC and Juventus included.

Seeing the stats, it can be stated that performing against big teams is no issue for him. So he should be looking for some goals here, or at least assists to co-striker Lautaro Martinez.

Fiorentina vs Inter Milan Prediction

ACF Fiorentina are expected to win this one, after a tough fight, as both have equally competitive squads. But, the hosts playing at home will surely have an added plus, also their game looks more balanced between the attack and defense. Inter Milan losing by a small margin is being predicted.   

Predicted Score: ACF Fiorentina 2-1 Inter Milan
