Prediction:

Both sides couldn’t be more desperate for three points at this stage of the season. With Milan breathing down Inter’s neck, and Fiorentina keen to keep the pace with the Europa League places, both sides will be up for this one.

I think the key men for Inter will be Ivan Perisic & Raja Nainggolan, who have seen their recent form create shockwaves of excitement for the first time this season. Accompany this with a solid Skriniar-De Vrij performance and Inter just may be able to collect three precious away points.

Fiorentina 0-1 Inter
