Fiorentina Preview – Can the Viola pull off the upset?
The wins for Fiorentina have been few and far between really from the start of November last year.
They have collected only two of them in thirteen matches in all competitions (90 minutes).
But those two wins have been in their last four games played (D1 L1) and one of them was against Juventus in the league.
Fiorentina are the clear 7/2 underdogs for this fixture in the match outright* (odds recorded 22:13 GMT Tuesday, 12th January).
On home soil this season in all competitions, Fiorentina have taken a W4 D4 L2 record.
They have gone undefeated in their last five at home, but four of those ended in a draw.
In none of the last seven home fixtures have Fiorentina given up more than one goal in a game.
It may be worth having a look at under 2.5 goals in this one at 23/20* (odds recorded 22:13 GMT Tuesday, 12th January).
That’s happened in each of Fiorentina’s last six home games.
In this season’s Coppa Italia, Fiorentina opened with a 2-1 home win over Padova.
Then they needed extra time away from home to beat Udinese.
It is their recent run of unbeaten form on home soil that makes this interesting, and Fiorentina have taken back to back clean sheets on home turf.
They are also undefeated in their last six home games against Inter.
Inter Milan Preview – Will Inter survive a tricky test?
Inter have gone D4 L2 in their last six visits to Fiorentina in all competitions, so this could be a tricky test.
When they hosted Fiorentina earlier this season in the league, they were tested.
Inter won that league clash 4-3 in a cracking game.
The last time that the two clubs met in the Coppa Italia was in January 2020 with Inter taking a narrow 2-1 home success.
Inter are the 4/6 odds-on favourites in the match outright for this fixture* (odds recorded 22:13 GMT Tuesday, 12th January).
But they may well have to work for their spoils on the night against the Viola who are in a resilient type of mood at the moment it looks like.
Inter though do have form as they have won eight of their last eleven games in all competitions.
They have managed only one point in their last two league games, however, and those were both out on the road.

Inter Milan are W6 D4 L2 this season on their league travels and they haven’t taken a clean sheet in any of their last eight away games.
But they have gotten by thanks to their strong scoring output.
Inter Milan have scored at least two goals in five of their last six games away from the San Siro.
This is most certainly not one of the easiest draws that they could have gotten, but they are the favourites.
Therefore an Inter 1 goal margin win is something to consider at 11/4* (odds recorded 22:13 GMT Tuesday, 12th January).
Fiorentina vs Inter Milan Betting Advice
This is an interesting game as Fiorentina have strung together a nice bit of home form. But then none of the opponents in their five-game home unbeaten streak have been as strong as Inter.
So we do think that the Viola will fall on the night, but they will get the visitors a good work out.
The Inter 1 goal winning margin at 11/4 seems to be the right fit for football betting* (odds recorded 22:13 GMT Tuesday, 12th January).
Key Facts – Fiorentina vs Inter Milan Betting Tip

Fiorentina do look as they are good enough to hold out until the half time break in this contest.
The Half Time Draw is another consideration for this game at a quote of 11/8* (odds recorded 22:13 GMT Tuesday, 12th January).
But ultimately we do expect the extra scoring threat of Inter to win the night.
