Three points for the rankings, but also to rewrite the history of the Serie A. If Simone Inzaghi’s Inter were to conquer the Franchi tonight, it would become the first team to win five consecutive games at Fiorentina’s home.
Since February 2021, when Conte’s Inter won 2-0, the Nerazzurri have always triumphed in Florence: from the 3-1 win in September 2021 to the dramatic 4-3 victory of 2022, determined in the last second by Mkhitaryan, to last year’s 1-0 victory, scored from a penalty saved by Sommer. This time, however, the match carries different weight.
Fiorentina and Inter are not just facing off for the three points: both are key players in a season at the top, with the Viola boasting seven consecutive wins. The Nerazzurri are experiencing their best moment this season, with ten wins and two draws in the last twelve games. A determined Inter will be needed, between ambitions of supremacy and desire to assert themselves, as tonight’s match will be a crucial test for both teams.
