Inter have started their new Serie A campaign in fantastic fashion winning their opening two fixtures without conceding a single goal. Three goals from Argentine star Lautaro Martinez in their first two games have helped the Italian heavyweights scale new heights in their premier days of the new Serie A campaign.
The last time Inter did not concede a goal in their first three games was back in 1966 and Simone Inzaghi's side would be vying to create history on Sunday. New signings Benjamin Pavard and Davy Klaasen have bolstered the host's roster and they would be confident of producing another scintillating outing against Fiorentina.
The visitors have also kicked off their campaign in a steady manner with a win and draw a piece in their opening two games. Fresh on the back of securing a Europa Conference League spot, Fiorentina would want to produce an upset against Inter.
The departure of Sofyan Amrabat might serve as a setback but the form of the likes of Nicolas Gonzalez and Giacomo Bonaventura could be a crucial boost for the Italian side.
