Prediction: 1-1
Inter
There will be fireworks when Fiorentina and Inter square off against each other in the Coppa Italia final. Fiorentina did well to beat Basel in the Conference League semis and they are now on a quest to clinch their first trophy of the season, but they will have a big fish to fry against the Nerazzurri. Midfielder Giacomo Bonaventura is back from the Serie A ban, while goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu remains on the sidelines through injury.
Simone Inzaghi’s troops, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 3-1 defeat to Napoli. All Skriniar, Dalbert, and Mkhitaryan are out of contention with injuries, while key attacker Lautaro Martinez returns to the starting XI. Both Federico Dimarco and Marcelo Brozovic are pushing for a start as well. Anyhow, the share of spoils is on the cards as Fiorentina have been showing signs of improvement of late.
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):
AC Fiorentina was founded on 29th of August in 1926 after a fusion between Libertas and CS Firenze.
