ItalySerie A
The numbers don't need much translating here. Inter have won 15 of their last 20 home games in Serie A, scoring 2.6 per game and conceding just 1.3. That's a record that doesn't waver. Add in their current run โ two wins in a row, 4 goals scored, 1 conceded โ and you've got a side that's not just good at home, they're clicking at home. The 3โ0 demolition of Parma on 10 October and the 3โ1 away win at Bologna on 17 October say the same thing: this team is scoring freely and keeping things tight.
Fiorentina, by contrast, are in a different place. They've lost their last two โ 1โ3 to Como at home on 18 October and 1โ2 to Genoa away on 10 October โ and over their last 10 games they've managed just 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses. Their away record over 20 games is 9 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses, 1.5 points per game. That's a side that struggles on the road, and the last two outings haven't helped the cause.
The head-to-head at this venue in the last 12 months tells a simple story: Inter won 3โ0 on 29 October 2025. The reverse fixture at Fiorentina's ground was a 1โ1 draw on 22 March 2026. Across 32 meetings spanning 13 years, Inter have won 16, drawn 8 and lost 8. The older games dilute the picture, but the recent meetings and the home record are the ones that matter, and they point firmly one way.
The xG numbers back it up. Inter are averaging 2.81 xG per game over their last 8 matches with data, while Fiorentina are averaging just 1.59 xG per game over their last 6. On the defensive side, Inter's opponents have been generating 1.54 xG against them, while Fiorentina's opponents have been generating 1.54 xG against them. Inter are creating more, but the defensive xG is level.
The counter-argument? Fiorentina did score in both of their last two losses, and their away record over 20 games does include 9 wins. They're not a team that simply folds. The 1โ1 at their ground in March showed they can be competitive against Inter. But "competitive" and "winning" are different things, and the gap in current form, home record and goal output is hard to ignore.
Key Points:
Verdict: I'm backing the Inter home win. The numbers are clear, the form is on their side, and the price at 1.41 reflects a market that's still underpricing what Inter's home record and current momentum actually say.
