Inter v Fiorentina Preview (Thu, 26-Sep-13) : Probable Lineup, Missing Players, Team News, & Prediction


Probable Lineups

Missing Players

Team News
 Inter
  • Walter Mazzarri oversaw an impressive 7-0 win at Sassuolo at the weekend, with the manager able to bring on a number of returning players in the second half, most notably Diego Milito.
  • With that in mind, an unchanged starting XI is expected to be named against Fiorentina.
  • Mateo Kovacic and Mauro Icardi are both options from the bench and are likely to make a cameo appearance in the second half.
 Fiorentina
  • David Pizarro will miss the encounter with Inter after having his appeal over his suspension rejected.
  • With that in mind, head coach Vincenzo Montella is expected to name an unchanged midfield from the 2-0 win over Atalanta.
  • Rafal Wolski failed to impress in the encounter and may be dropped in favour of Joaquín to partner Giuseppe Rossi up front.

Prediction
  • Inter swept Sassuolo to one side in their 7-0 win on Sunday, but Walter Mazzarri's side will need to retain their focus for the welcome of Fiorentina.
  • Vincenzo Montella has a mounting injury list, but secured an impressive win at Atalanta at the weekend with Giuseppe Rossi more than making up for Mario Gomez's unavailability.
  • The visitors will look to control proceedings, but the dynamic Inter will look to disrupt their play and allow Rodrigo Palacio and Ricky Álvarez to get in behind the Viola defence. However, Fiorentina have enough about them, even with their injury problems, to pick up a point at the San Siro.
