Inter Milan preview: Getting over the line
Simone Inzaghi departed Inter at the end of last season after collapsing to no silverware when once being in the hunt for the treble but, with nothing else to focus on, it does look as though Cristian Chivu’s Nerazzurri should get over the line for a 21st Scudetto.
The visitors head into this one on the back of a hard-fought and relatively frustrating 1-1 draw with Atalanta at San Siro last weekend, with Francesco Pio Esposito’s opener being cancelled out by a late Nikola Krstovic equaliser.

Fiorentina vs Inter Milan prediction
Despite their remarkable run into the last eight of European competition once again, I Viola remain firmly involved in the relegation battle in Serie A, albeit they did manage to hammer fellow strugglers Cremonese by four goals to one in Lombardy last weekend. Inter have tended to make light work of the riff raff down at the bottom end of Serie A, struggling against the best and in the ‘bigger’ games. Fiorentina are a team that defy their club’s status but Inter should still ease to a win in Florence.
