Serie A: Inter Milan vs Fiorentina
At 1:00 a.m. Beijing time on March 20, 2022, the 30th round of the Serie A, "Nerazzurri" Inter Milan will face "Purple Lily" Fiorentina at home. Inter Milan is the defending champion of Serie A, this season showed a trend of high and low, the first half of the league once occupied the top position, leading the team behind them by 6 points, but since entering 2022, the performance of the team began to decline, during which there was even a record of 5 consecutive games without winning, the current 28 rounds of league after the league, with 59 points ranked 3rd, in the case of a less round, there is a 4-point gap with the leader AC Milan, although the Nerazzurri is still in the championship group, But at least for now, it is at a disadvantage.
Although Inter Milan has recently remained unbeaten in 5 consecutive games, it is a bit useless, in the Champions League, although the second leg defeated Liverpool, but due to too much debt in the first leg, resulting in no chance to qualify, stopped in the round of 16. In the league, the last round of the league away to Turin, 56% of the possession, 14 shots on goal 7 shots on target, in the case of the score behind, the Nerazzurri for a long time, until into the stoppage time, with the veteran Sanchez score, finally shook hands with the other side. Fortunately, in this game, it is back at home, after all, Inter's home strength is very strong, and its home field is currently ranked first in the league.
In a pre-match press conference, coach Inzaghi Jr. said, "There is no doubt that at this stage, everyone will feel a little unconvinced, but our mentality is very correct. The players have been doing well in training in recent days, they are very eager to get back on the pitch and we need to show great wisdom and come up with a clear idea to finish the game. He also commented on their opponent, Purple Lily, saying, "Fiorentina have performed well this season, they have been great in every way, they have a coach with great ideas, he has found the right path for Fiorentina and a very suitable style of play. We've been trying to be prepared all this time because we know that the opponents we're going to face are absolutely strong. ”
Although Fiorentina's performance this season has improved to a certain extent, but after the winter window sold the core goalscorer Vlahović, the strength of the attacking end of the Purple Lily has dropped significantly, and after the current 28 rounds of league, it has achieved 14 wins, 4 draws and 10 losses, ranking 8th in the league with 46 points, although there is a 3-point gap with the European theater, but there are 2 strong teams in front of Rome and Atlanta, I am afraid that it will be very difficult for the Purple Lily to impact the European qualification, after all, the threat of the current offensive end has decreased sharply.
Fiorentina recently played at home consecutively, the overall performance is relatively mediocre, did not get satisfactory results, the team last game against Bologna, after the opponent was sent off a person, the team besieged many times, only with the midfielder Torreira's goal to break the opponent's door, and finally won 1-0, so that the team ended the embarrassment of the previous 3 consecutive games without victory. It is also worth noting that Fiorentina have had average away results this season, with only 10th in the league away from home.
In terms of past meetings between the two teams, Inter Milan have achieved an unbeaten record of 5 wins and 5 draws in the last 10 matches against Fiorentina, the past advantage is very clear, and the first leg of this season won the purple lily 3-1 away from home. In terms of recent situations, Inter Milan is currently 4 points behind the leaders, and the situation of the title race is not optimistic; and although Fiorentina seems to have the opportunity to impact European qualification, it is still very difficult to use the strength of the team. Judging from the current attitude of all parties, it still gives the Nerazzurri obvious support, after all, the league championship competition has entered a white-hot stage, and I believe that Inter Milan will not let go of the opportunity to take all 3 points.
