Fiorentina vs Inter Prediction: Betting on the Nerazzuri and Total Goals

Fiorentina and Inter didn't finish the Italian Championship match on the 14th round because of health problems with midfielder Eduardo Bove. The match is finally happening, starting in the 15th minute. Who do you think will play better? Telecomasia is offering a prediction for this match. Let's take a look at the statistics, bookmakers' odds and pick a few bets.

Fiorentina

Fiorentina played their last match last Sunday. Raffaele Paladino's team went up against Genoa, who've been on the up since Patrick Vieira took over as head coach. The game was already decided by the 30th minute, when Fiorentina scored a second unanswered goal - Moise Kean and Albert Gudmundsson scored. Fiorentina had a few issues, conceding in the 55th minute, but they managed to hold on for a 2:1 win. With a game in hand, Fiorentina is now three points behind the Champions League zone, in sixth place in the standings after 23 rounds.

Also, just a heads-up that next week the European Cup play-offs kick off, but Fiorentina, playing in the Conference League, will be missing the first games. Florentine did well in the main stage of the tournament, taking third place and going straight to the last 16. At this stage, Fiorentina could face Iceland's Vikingur, Greek side Panathinaikos, Bosnian club Borac, and Olimpija Ljubljana.

Inter

Inter played against AC Milan on Sunday, but they didn't win their third Milan derby this season. The Nerazzurri played much better than their opponents, blaming only the bad luck. Three of Inter's goals were cancelled after video reviews, and the ball hit the frame of the goal several times. After conceding at the end of the first half, the Black and Blues almost lost, but still scored one point - centre-back Stefan De Vrij scored on 90+3. 1:1 - Napoli also drew in this round, so Inter remained three points behind the league leaders. Like Fiorentina, Inter will miss the start of the European Cup play-offs, having finished the main stage of the Champions League in the top-8. In the round of 16, Inter could face Milan, Juventus, PSV or Feyenoord. Also, Inter has a third stage: the Nerazzurri will face Lazio in the Italian Cup quarterfinals at the end of February.

Expert Betting Tips

The next match starts in the 15th minute, and the bookies only have a few options for the line. Let's pick a bet on the main outcomes. First, let's go for Inter to win. In their last game, the Nerazzurri should've scored 3 or 4 goals against Milan, but ended up with a 1:1 draw. Now, it's probably going to be Inter's turn.

Secondly, we think the odds on TO are a bit overrated, given Inter's top attacking performance in the Serie A this season. So, we suggest a bet on the total goals scored to be over 2.5.

W2 for 1.82

TO (2.5) for 1.67
