Inter Milan went to Naples as the team in top form, but they were beaten 3-1 and missed the chance to take the first spot in the league. 

Even with that loss, the Nerazzurri are still one of the most exciting teams in Serie A, as their matches this season have averaged the most goals. After that defeat, they will be fired up and looking to bounce back strongly against a weaker opponent.

Fiorentina, on the other hand, has been in very poor form. After eight games this season, they are at the bottom of the table  and have not won any of their last six league matches. 

Their confidence is low, and they recently suffered another setback when they gave up a lead and lost to AC Milan at San Siro. 

Their coach, Stefano Pioli, is under serious pressure, Especially as Juventus sacked their coach after losing back to back games. And facing a strong and angry Inter side is the last thing they need right now.

Coach Cristian Chivu may have to make at least one midfield change after Henrikh Mkhitaryan picked up a thigh injury against Napoli.  With a busy schedule, some rotation is likely. Nicola Zalewski could come in for Federico Dimarco in the second half, while experienced defender Francesco Acerbi is also available.

Meanwhile, Coach Stefano Pioli is under pressure and expected to field his strongest lineup to turn things around. He will be without Kouame and Lamptey due to knee injury. Forward Albert Gudmundsson has just recovered recently and should play alongside Moise Kean up front.
