Score Prediction & Key Points

My predicted score: Inter Milan 2-1 Fiorentina.
Rationale:

• Inter likely to control possession (>55%) and push the pace.
• Fiorentina possess enough quality to score — especially via set-pieces or transition.
• If Inter take an early lead, they become very difficult to dislodge.
  Caveats:
  Should Inter start sluggishly or allow width to be exploited, Fiorentina may get on the front foot. Moreover, Inter forwards must convert chances — without goals the match becomes more open and risky.

Fiorentina must be disciplined, especially defensively, and look to exploit any opportunity they get. Expect an entertaining contest with goals on both sides.
