Fiorentina v Inter Milan Betting Tips [5 February 2021]

Inter can go top of Serie A if winning this game. They go into this game in second, two points behind leaders Milan and look for a win at 11th placed Fiorentina. Inter are unbeaten in their last six league and cup games. That includes a 2-1 win at Fiorentina in the Italian Cup, though it needed a 119th minute Romelu Lukaku to seal the win. That was the second thriller this season between these two clubs. In the reverse league fixture, Inter won 4-3 at home, though they trailed 3-2 going into the 87th minute.

Inter have drawn their last three away league games at Fiorentina. They have also drawn their last two league games and before that lost at Sampdoria. Seven straight home wins have kept them on the heels of Milan, now they need to get their away form sorted. The loss at Sampdoria is their only away league loss this season with five games won and four drawn. Defensively they are strong at present. Their most recent game saw them lose 2-1 at home to Juventus in the first leg of their Italian Cup semi-final. Being knocked out of that competition might be a godsend, so they can concentrate on winning Serie A.

Fiorentina are 11th and have to be a bit careful in the coming weeks. They are only seven points above the relegation zone that they nearly ended up in last season. European hopes are rather slim as they trail the final Europa League qualifying position by 11 points. They come into this game with only one victory in their last four matches. That was achieved at home against Crotone, who are bottom of Serie A. Their most recent league game saw them draw 1-1 at Torino, who are one place above the bottom three. A win looked likely but the home side equalized with two minutes remaining. Fiorentina have only won five of their 20 league games this season and have a -10 goal difference. A recent 6-0 loss at Napoli made a huge contribution to that. They are undefeated in their last six home league matches. Four in a row had been drawn before wins over Cagliari (also in the relegation zone) and Crotone. Those two clubs have one away league win between them in 20 games.  This is a lot tougher, go for an away win.
