Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Inter will look to keep their 100% record in the 2023/2024 season intact when they take on Fiorentina in the Serie A round 3. The Nerazzurri made a flying start to the season and it is no surprise the bookies see them as favourites to beat the Viola in front of home fans. Fiorentina defenders should have Lautaro Martinez at bay as the World Cup winner has already scored two goals in the new Serie A season. Simone Inzaghi should have a full squad to choose from.
The visitors, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 2-2 draw with Lecce, with the team dropping a two-goal advantage and given Inter’s perfect start to the season, home win should definitely be considered. Both Antonin Barak and Gaetano Castrovilli miss out with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team ahead of the trip to Milano.

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.
