Our prediction for this Serie A match:
This prediction will be released soonAll eyes will be on Stadio Giuseppe Meazza when Inter and Fiorentina face each other in the closing match of the Serie A round 24. The Nerazzurri aim to melt Napoli’s advantage in the Serie A standings, but Monday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Wing-back Denzel Dumfries serves a one-game ban, while Raffaele Di Gennaro and Joaquin Correa are sidelined with injuries.
The Viola, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Lazio and Genoa. Fiorentina aim to move closer to the Champions League berth, but given their unsuccessful last visit to “Giuseppe Meazza”, we are tempted to place our bets on Simone Inzaghi’s troops. In their last meeting in Milano, Inter outplayed Fiorentina 4-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Talented defender Pietro Comuzzo is banned for the hosts.
Highlighted Player (Hakan Calhanoglu):
Hakan Calhanoglu is another one in the long line of Turkish footballers who were born in Germany, so it is hardly surprising he came to prominence thanks to his performances in Bundesliga. The attacking midfielder with great vision and very good goalscoring record started his professional career at Karlsruher, scoring impressive 17 goals in 50 league outings to earn a move to Bundesliga side Hamburg.
The spell at Imtech Arena was merely a stepping stone for bigger things as 11 goals in his debut top flight campaign persuaded Bayer Leverkusen to splash nearly €15 million on his services. That proved a very good investment as Calhanoglu continued the rich vein of form, and it is now a matter of time before he joins one of European powerhouses.
The midfield maestro had a bright start to his career in the Turkey national team, scoring 5 goals in first 16 caps, and chances are he will become a leader for Milli Takim in the foreseeable future.
Highlighted Team (Fiorentina):
