Comments and predictions for Inter Milan vs Fiorentina: Beat the weak

Latest Inter Milan vs Fiorentina squad information

Due to Lega Serie A regulations, neither team is allowed to use any new signings in Thursday's make-up match, so Nicola Zalewski is unavailable for Inter Milan.

However, with Denzel Dumfries suspended, the Polish full-back could make his first start since joining Inter on loan from AS Roma. Matteo Darmian is also a possible option on the right flank for the home side, though.

That could be the only change Simone Inzaghi makes, with captain Lautaro Martinez continuing to partner top scorer Marcus Thuram up front. Thuram scored his first Serie A goal against Fiorentina at the San Siro in September 2023, and also assisted Martinez's. With 13 league goals this season, Thuram needs just one more to break his career-best scoring record.

After his brace on Thursday, Fiorentina striker Moise Kean is just one goal behind Thuram in the Capocannoniere (Golden Goal) list. He also needs just one more goal to surpass his previous best scoring record in Europe's top five leagues.

This time, Viola can also release new players such as Michael Folorunsho, Cher Ndour, Nicolo Fagioli and Nicolo Zaniolo (who used to play in Inter Milan's youth team).

However, another new signing, Pablo Mari, is struggling with injury, while promising defender Pietro Comuzzo is serving a suspension. Striker Albert Gudmundsson is also unavailable due to tonsillitis.

Having had to select two different full-back sets due to squad limitations in Thursday's game (a decision that ultimately paid off), it remains unclear whether coach Raffaele Palladino will make any further changes.

Latest football commentary Inter Milan vs Fiorentina

After Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed on the pitch in the first half of a match against Inter in December, the match was abandoned due to concerns for his health. He was later diagnosed with cardiac arrest.

Bove is now recovering well - despite no longer being allowed to play in Serie A due to having an ICD implanted - and the match was rearranged and restarted in the 17th minute.

Inter travelled to Tuscany with the hope that a win would see them climb to the top of the table thanks to a better goal difference, having played a make-up game against league leaders Napoli.

Simone Inzaghi's men had earlier secured their place in the last 16 of the Champions League and claimed a valuable point in the Derby della Madonnina (Stefan de Vrij equalised late against city rivals AC Milan).

However, they suffered a bitter defeat on Thursday night as Fiorentina scored three goals in quick succession in the second half and suffered their first away defeat in Serie A this season.

Since April 2023, coach Inzaghi's team has not lost 2 consecutive matches. Therefore, they are determined to get revenge and put pressure on Napoli, as the Scudetto race becomes increasingly intense.

Following an impressive 3-0 home win on Thursday, Fiorentina are looking to complete a double over Inter for the first time since 2016 (when they finished 5th in the table).

Thanks to a double from Moise Kean and a fine finish from captain Luca Ranieri, the Viola made a big splash with an away win over Lazio, in a game in which they had to play most of the second half with 10 men.

Despite a somewhat shaky start to 2025, the Tuscan side have picked up 42 points - their best tally over this period in nine years.

Depending on the results of Italian teams in UEFA competitions (including Fiorentina's progress in the Conference League), a top-five finish could see La Viola earn a long-awaited return to European competition.

However, coach Raffaele Palladino's team still has a lot of work to do, because at least 6 other teams are also competing for positions behind the current 2 leading teams of Italian football.

Another win on Monday would reaffirm their ambitions in the top four race. However, very few teams can beat Inter Milan at the San Siro.
