This weekend’s Serie A action involves a key clash in Milan and these Inter vs. Fiorentinapredictions focus on the latest picture ahead of the international break. Simone Inzaghi’s side have won successive league games so far in August.
1 – Inter to win – 4/6
2 – Inter under 2.5 total goals – 4/11
3 – Total goals scored over 2.5 – 11/10
4 – Both teams to score – 31/40
5 – Inter to win 2-1 – 15/2
Inter have looked strong in the opening weeks of the 2023-24 Serie A season, with Simone Inzaghi’s team picking up back-to-back victories. Two 2-0 wins over Monza and Cagliari have meant no early nerves for last season’s Champions League runners-up and they will be aiming to carry that momentum on into the international window.
Visitors Fiorentina are expected to pose a stubborn test for the home side though, as they are unbeaten in the opening two rounds of matches with four points picked up.
Inter have a deserved edge as favourites going into the game and the hosts will be confident of having enough to maintain their 100% record at the start of September.
Two goals scored in each of those matches indicates Inzaghi’s team are not finding the back of the net on a free-flowing basis – but they are doing enough to win games.
That will be a key aspect of Inzaghi’s plans again in the forthcoming campaign, with his return of 1.8 goals scored on average per game during their push to a third-place Serie A finish last season.
However, the average total goals scored in an Inter game could be increased to over 2.5 for the first time this season, with Fiorentina continuing their strong goal-scoring form, with six scored in two outings.
Fiorentina will be looking to cause problems for Inter and this game could be the end of Inzaghi’s clean sheet record so far this season. But the home team should still edge it.
The most recent meeting of the two sides also ended in a 2-1 victory for Inter, as Lautaro Martinez’s double secured a Coppa Italia final triumph in the final weeks of last season.

Inter (3-5-2): Sommer; Darmian, de Vrij, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Martinez, Thuram
Fiorentina (4-2-3-1): Christensen; Dodo, Milenkovic, Martinez, Parisi; Melo, Mandragora; Gonzalez, Bonaventura, Kouame; Beltran
Inzaghi has no fresh injury worries to deal with this weekend and, on the back of a win in their last outing, he could stick with an unchanged starting line-up. Argentinian international Martinez is the player in form for Inter, with three league goals so far.
The visitors are still missing two key players through injury, with Antonin Barak and Gaetano Castrovilli both out of action until mid-September. Rolando Mandragora and Christian Kouame could rotate into the starting team as part of a refreshed side at the San Siro.
