Inter Milan faces a tough challenge against Fiorentina, who are on a seven-game winning streak.
The match is set to take place at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Sunday at 17:00 GMT. Both teams are closely competing for second place in the league, just one point behind leaders Napoli. This makes the match even more significant for both sides.
Fiorentina is riding high after their recent victories, including a win in the Conference League against Pafos. Inzaghi acknowledged the strength of their opponents, stating that they are facing a tough challenge.
Inter Milan has also been performing well, with ten wins and two draws in the last two months. They are on the verge of qualifying directly for the Champions League Round of 16. Inzaghi expressed satisfaction with the team’s progress but recognized the difficulty of the upcoming match.
Due to injuries, Inzaghi will have to make changes in the defense. Key players like Benjamin Pavard, Francesco Acerbi, and Carlos Augusto will not be available for the match. He mentioned that squad rotation is essential and that they will aim for maximum points despite missing some players.
Earlier in the season, Inter struggled with defensive issues, including a high-scoring draw against Juventus. However, they have improved significantly, achieving seven clean sheets in their last nine games. Inzaghi noted that the team is working hard on both offense and defense.
Both teams played in Europe midweek, putting them in a similar situation. Inzaghi stressed the importance of focusing on each match individually and being fully prepared. He believes that a great performance from Inter is necessary to secure a win against Fiorentina.
