Fiorentina – Inter : Preview & Prediction
Fiorentina will play its 3rd Italian Cup match against one of the best teams in Italy, Inter Milan … If the Viola struggled to eliminate Padua (2-1) and Udinese (1- 0 ap) on the outside, the Ribéry gang could lower their arms during this Round of 16. The Florence club has just won painfully against Cagliari (1-0) this Sunday evening after 2 disappointing performances against Bologna (0-0) at Artemio Franchi and on the lawn of Lazio Rome (2-1).
