Comments and predictions for Inter Milan vs Fiorentina: Hard to stop the home team

Four days after their shock defeat in Florence, Serie A title contenders Inter Milan will be reunited with Fiorentina at the San Siro, when the two clubs clash once again on Monday evening.

The Italian champions suffered their second league defeat of the season at the Stadio Franchi, where the Viola came from behind to win a match that was initially postponed due to the traumatic circumstances.

Latest Inter Milan vs Fiorentina squad information

Due to Lega Serie A rules, neither team was allowed to field new signings on Thursday, with the game originally scheduled to be completed in December. Nicola Zalewski was therefore ruled out for Inter.

With Denzel Dumfries now absent from the squad through suspension, the Polish full-back could make his first start since joining on loan from Roma, although Matteo Darmian could instead be selected on the right flank for the hosts.

That could be the only change for Simone Inzaghi, with captain Lautaro Martinez once again partnering top scorer Marcus Thuram in attack: the latter scored his first Serie A goal against Fiorentina at the San Siro in September 2023, while also assisting Martinez. Now on 13 league goals for the season, another would set up a new personal best.

After Thursday's brace, Fiorentina main striker Moise Kean is just one goal ahead of Thuram in the Capocannoniere rankings, and he also needs just one more goal to break his previous best total in Europe's top five leagues.

This time around, the Viola could also call upon recent arrivals Michael Folorunsho, Cher Ndour, Nicolo Fagioli and Nicolo Zaniolo, the latter of whom has played in Inter's primavera.

However, new starting partner Pablo Mari is struggling with injury and promising defender Pietro Comuzzo is serving a one-match suspension, while Albert Gudmundsson has been left bedridden with tonsillitis.

After being forced to select two sets of full-backs due to restrictions in Thursday's game - a decision that ultimately paid off - it remains to be seen whether Raffaele Palladino will make more changes.

Latest football commentary Inter Milan vs Fiorentina

When Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed in the first half of a meeting with Inter in December, the match was abandoned amid concerns for his health and he eventually suffered a cardiac arrest.

With Bove on the road to recovery – although he is no longer able to play in Serie A due to having an ICD implanted – the match was eventually rearranged and the match restarted in the 17th minute.

Inter travel to Tuscany on this occasion with the motivation that victory will take them to the top of the table on goal difference, when they play their make-up match against leaders Napoli.

Simone Inzaghi's side had earlier confirmed their place in the Champions League last 16 before snatching a late draw in the Derby della Madonnina, thanks to Stefan de Vrij's late winner against city rivals AC Milan.

However, they were stopped short on Thursday night, as Fiorentina systematically scored three goals in the second half to inflict Inter's first away defeat of the Serie A season.

Having not lost consecutive league games since April 2023, Inzaghi's men will now be determined to gain swift revenge and keep the pressure on Napoli, as the mouthwatering Scudetto battle intensifies.

Following Thursday's astonishing 3-0 home success, Fiorentina are aiming to do the double over Inter for the first time since 2016, as they continue their run to fifth in the table.

With a Moise Kean brace following a clever finish from captain Luca Ranieri, the Viola spectacularly consolidated a remarkable away win over Lazio in which they played much of the second half with 10 men.

Despite stumbling at the start of 2025, the Tuscan club now have 42 points on the board - their highest total at this point of any campaign in nine years.

Depending on the Italian sides' results in UEFA competitions - including their own progress in the Conference League - a top-five finish could be enough to secure Fiorentina's long-awaited return to Europe's top table.

Raffaele Palladino's men still have a lot of work to do, however, as at least six teams are vying for places behind Italy's current top two.

Another win on Monday would reaffirm their credentials as genuine contenders, but few teams have beaten Inter at the San Siro.
