Inter-Fiorentina: probable line-ups and key numbers at San Siro
Inter host Fiorentina on Sunday after beating Shakhtar: the latest on Chivu’s choices and the Nerazzurri’s busy schedule.
Inter return to San Siro on Sunday, October 25 at 12:30 to face Fiorentina in Serie A’s eighth round. After their European win over Shakhtar, Cristian Chivu’s team must immediately focus on the league, with a midweek trip to Venezia coming next.
The probable line-ups are shaped by two indications already established within the Nerazzurri camp: Lautaro Martinez will not be available, while Josep Martinez remains the starting goalkeeper in the hierarchy set by the coach. The rest of the team will also be assessed in light of the energy spent in the Champions League. The match also offers useful statistics and head-to-head records for understanding the two teams’ relationship at San Siro.
Inter enter the game after three official results in a short period: a 4-3 defeat against Club Brugge on October 13, a 3-1 win at Bologna on October 17 and a 1-0 victory over Shakhtar on October 21. After Fiorentina, the schedule brings Venezia-Inter on October 28 and Milan-Inter on October 31.
