On Wednesday, Fiorentina receives Inter for the round of 16 of the Italian Cup. Both teams want to advance to the next round.
Before playing this round of 16 of the Italian Cup, Fiorentina defeated Padua (2-1) and Udinese (0-1 after extra time) in the previous rounds. In the league, the Tuscans are currently 12th in Serie A and are 6 units ahead of the relegation zone. More consistent in recent weeks, they have lost only once in the last 6 days, for 2 wins and 3 draws. Beaten in the lair of Lazio (2-1), they however won, at home, against Cagliari last weekend (1-0).
Considered a serious candidate for the Scudetto this year, Inter meets expectations for the moment and is second in Serie A with 3 points behind the top of the standings. After a superb series of 8 successes in a row, the Nerazzurri fell on the lawn of Sampdoria in the middle of last week (2-1). Last weekend, they had to settle for a point in the lair of Roma because of a goal conceded at the end of the game (2-2). The last of its Champions League group, Inter is eliminated from all European competitions.
For Fiorentina, it is important to point out the return of suspension of midfielder Castrovilli, but the important Pulgar and Ribéry are absent to play this Italian Cup match. In addition, the defender Pezzella is uncertain and the side Lirola went to join OM. Full of confidence, the very promising Serbian striker Vlahovic (20) has scored 5 goals in the last 6 league games.
For Inter, longtime absent Vecino, substitute striker Pinamonti and defender D’Ambrosio remain stranded in the infirmary this week. Added to this is the absence of side Darmian, who was released from injury last weekend and the uncertainty weighing on the participation of Vila. This Italian Cup match could be the opportunity to start the meeting for the Chilean Alexis Sanchez. Nevertheless, the goal scorers Lukaku and Lautaro are well available.
This meeting will be played behind closed doors.
Both teams have the right to 5 substitutions.
After 2 last games without a win, Inter will be keen to return to success in this round of 16 of the Italian Cup. Inter victory!
