Internazionale have a real shot at the Italian Serie A title and will hope to close the gap on leaders Juventus when they host Fiorentina in Round 35 this Wednesday. Going to this game, Inter have so far secured 72 points and are in second place while Fiorentina, on 42 points, are placed 12th. Inter missed a big chance to close in on Juventus in their last game as they drew 2-2 with AS Roma. They needed a late penalty goal from Romelu Lukaku to secure the point after letting go of the lead and they will take vital lessons from that. Antonio Conte’s side could fall eight points below Juventus who play fourth placed Lazio on Monday. A lot of focus will be on Inter’s defence, as they head to this game. They have just one clean sheet in their last five matches, and that came against relegated SPAL – the weakest team in the league this season. In three of the remaining four, Inter have conceded two goals and to be able to challenge Juventus for the title, the defence will have to be fixed. Remarkably though, Inter have scored in all except two of their 34 league matches this season and have had a good run at home, winning 10 and losing just two of the 17. In the last eight home league matches, Inter have one clean sheet but have failed to score in just one of their 17 home league matches.

Fiorentina, on the other hand, are enjoying a good turn after enduring tough times earlier in the season. They are on a five-match unbeaten run going to this game and have already confirmed survival. They have three wins in their last five matches and have failed to score in just one of their last eight matches but have only two clean sheets in the last eight matches. Going to the Inter game, Fiorentina will be gunning for a third straight win, after victories over Torino and Lecce and having failed to beat Inter in the last six meetings, they will look at this as a perfect chance. They have just six away wins all season but will have the momentum, having won the last two back to back. In their last six matches against Inter, Fiorentina have lost three and drawn three.
