Match Overview
Inter Milan will start as favourites when they take on Fiorentina in the final of the Coppa Italia knockout competition on Wednesday. If Inter manage to win this game, as well as the UEFA Champions League final against Manchester City, they will have completed a double. Although their chances of winning the Serie A are not present, they can still end the season on a high.
Key Highlights
The two matches when these teams faced each other in the Serie A earlier in the season were split in two. While one game was won by Inter Milan, the reverse fixture was won by Fiorentina by a narrow yet significant 1-0 scoreline as recently as 1 April. Out of the 28 games recorded between these two teams in the past, Inter Milan have won fifteen. Fiorentina have won seven while the rest of the six matches were played out as drawn encounters.
Injury Report
Inter Milan will have to make do without their star central defender Milan Skriniar and attacking midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan for this important game whereas Salvatore Sirigu is the only player Fiorentina will be missing owing to an Achilles tendon injury.
Prediction
We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game. While Inter Milan appear to be the favourites at the outset, Fiorentina are renowned to spring a surprise or two when the wind blows in their favour. This is going to be an interesting game as we will have the champions of cup football in Italy by the end of the evening.
