Fiorentina's form has dipped since a strong start to the season. However, back-to-back wins over Lazio and Genoa have lifted La Viola to sixth in the Serie A table. Those results ended a six-game winless run.
Fiorentina have also been boosted by late business in the transfer window. Nicolo Fagioli, Nicolo Zaniolo and Cher Ndour all arrived on deadline day.
Inter will be without Denzel Dumfries for tonight's clash due to suspension. However, Hakan Calhanoglu made his return in the Milan derby after a six-game absence for the Nerazzurri. The Turkey international ranks sixth in Serie A for shot-creating actions per 90 this season.
Elsewhere, Joaquin Correa is a doubt with a thigh injury and Raffaele Di Gennaro remains sidelined.
Inter predicted XI: Sommer; Pavard, De Vrij, Bastoni; Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Martinez.
Fiorentina host Inter Milan in Serie A on Thursday 6th February 2025. Kick-off at The Stadio Artemio Franchi is 19:45 GMT.

Inter Milan ready to make OFFER for Liverpool forward
The writing is on the wall for Chiesa Also tipped for a summer exit is Federico Chiesa. It's been a season to forget for the 27-year-old Italian, who joined from Juventus for £12.5m back in September. The Italy international only managed SIX Premier League appearances - for a total of around 104 minutes - and failed to win over Arne Slot on the rare occasions that he started in other competitions. Advertisement The writing was on the wall as early as January for the homesick winger - with several clubs in Italy queuing up for his signature. Transfer talk is again materialising for Chiesa this summer with Calcioblog now describing his return to Serie A as a 'necessity' for his career. 'The English experience has not borne the hoped-for results and now the 1997-born player is reflecting on the future, with an increasingly clear desire: to return to Italy,' a report reads. 'A return to Serie A that would not only be a transfer operation, but a real necessity to relaunch.' © IMAGO - Arne Slot Federico Chiesa Liverpool 2024-25 Inter want to strike deal for Chiesa The report then links Serie A runners-up Inter Milan as the prime candidates to land Chiesa. Moreover, a price is given for the wideman with Inter prepared to pay €18m to €20m in order to land him. Advertisement That represents a MASSIVE discount on Chiesa from his Juventus days when he was one of the hottest prospects in Italian football. 'If two years ago Chiesa's price tag exceeded €70 million, today - thanks to the contract expiring in 2026, the inconsistent performances and the few minutes accumulated - his value has drastically reduced, arriving at an estimate of around €18-20 million,' the report reads. 'A figure that is decidedly more accessible for Inter's coffers, who are carefully looking at the opportunity to bring to Milan a player eager for redemption and still in the prime of his footballing maturity. "Nothing has been decided yet, but the signals are clear: Federico Chiesa wants to return to Italy and Inter is among the most serious candidates to welcome him.' It looks like Chiesa's future is going to be resolved soon one way or another.
