Fiorentina’s defeat last week to Empoli was one of the biggest shocks of the Serie A season. Before that fixture, Fiorentina hadn’t lost a league game at the Stadio Artemio Franchi all season, while visiting Empoli had won just once away. It was also la Viola’s first defeat in 7 and Fiorentina had kept 4 clean sheets during that sequence.
Inter Milan blew a 2 goal lead at home to city rivals AC last week – Cristian Zapata’s late equalizer for the Rossoneri will have devastated a set of players already low on confidence. The draw extended Inter Milan’s winless run to 4 games. Stefano Pioli’s team haven’t kept a clean sheet in 7 games now.
In the reverse fixture between the 2 teams, Inter Milan beat Fiorentina 4-2 helped by a brace from top scorer Mauro Icardi. A win for Fiorentina on Saturday would move them within a point of Inter in 7th place. Read our betting guide and Fiorentina vs Inter Milan betting tips below.
Despite last week’s home reverse to Empoli, Fiorentina’s home form is still one of Serie A’s most impressive. Inter Milan are finding it difficult to play themselves out of the rut they are in and they are in for another tricky evening in Florence. I expect there to be goals on Saturday and both teams might have to settle for a point each.
Bet365’s odds of 12/8 for the game to finish level are the shortest outright odds on offer for the contest which is an indicator of how the game should go. Their odds of 11/4 for the game to finish level with both teams to score is also a decent price.
