Fiorentina vs Inter – In just the sixth minute, Lautaro Martinez opened the scoring, and Edin Dzeko, his strike partner, completed the scoring with a second-half hat trick to send Bologna home to Emilia-Romagna with their tails between their legs.
Inter are well positioned to undertake a successful defense of their title after a convincing victory that should allay any anger generated by their disappointing late losses to Real and Sampdoria last weekend, where they trailed twice.
Even if their unbeaten start to the season has ended, Simone Inzaghi’s team is still dominating Serie A, with newcomers Joaquin Correa, Hakan Calhanoglu, and Dzeko all having an immediate impact.
Denzel Dumfries, Inzaghi’s replacement for the departed Achraf Hakimi, took a little longer to adjust to life at San Siro, patiently waiting for a start behind Matteo Darmian, but he was at his marauding best against Bologna, and he appears to be headed for a stellar Calcio career.
With their confidence restored, Inter travels to Florence to face a team they defeated not once, not twice, but three times in the previous season: at home and away in the league, and in the round of 16 in the cup. Under new management, their Tuscan adversaries could prove to be a much tougher task this season.
Fiorentina vs Inter – Betting Analysis
Fiorentina was able to make it three wins in a row on Saturday as they defeated Genoa, following up their first victory of the 2021–22 season with another victory last week in Bergamo.
Vincenzo Italiano’s squad eventually won 2-1; they didn’t break the score until the hour mark, when substitute Riccardo Saponara sent in a powerful strike from the edge of the box. The hosts’ consolation goal came only from the game’s final kick, from the penalty spot.
In addition to setting up Giacomo Bonaventura’s goal against Marassi, Saponara, who spent a large portion of the previous season on loan at Spezia under Italiano’s direction, has returned, signaling the team’s rekindled conviction in its creative head coach.
Fiorentina fans are celebrating winning three straight games in a Serie A season for the first time since October 2019, and it has been six years since the club last recorded at least nine points from their first four league games. This comes after a protracted period of mediocrity at the grand old club.
The Viola concluded that 2015–16 season in fifth place overall, just three points behind Inter. While such dizzy heights are unachievable this season, if their progress keeps up, a top-half spot might be within their reach. On Tuesday night, when they welcome the fearsome Scudetto-holders to the Franchi, they will face their most difficult challenge to date.
