After a rough start, Fiorentina have slowly started to make their way up the league table. A surprise 3-0 win over Juventus last year certainly gave the struggling Viola a major boost as they have lost just one of their last five Serie A games. The hosts will come into this match having earned a narrow 1-0 win over Cagliari which has helped them to move six points clear of the drop zone.
However, the Tuscan club will obviously be up for a major challenge once again as Inter are set to arrive at the Stadio Artemio Franchi for a round of 16 Coppa Italia clash. The Nerazzurri, who are having a very strong domestic campaign in Antonio Conte's sophomore season, are the clear favorites to progress due to their strong past record in this tournament. Furthermore, Fiorentina have struggled against Inter as of late, as they have failed to win their last eight meetings with their upcoming opponents (across all comps).
Still, Inter will not be taking Fiorentina lightly - especially after the way they beat Juventus only just last month. Conte will have to manage his squad well for this one, as the Nerazzurri will be locking horns with reigning champs Juventus in a highly anticipated Derby d'Italia this weekend.
Unlike Inter, who are only just entering the tournament, Fiorentina had to slog through two rounds of matches to book their spot in the roung of 16. Having beaten second-tier outfit Padova as well as fellow Serie A side Udinese, the Gigliati will hope to keep this run of form intact as they aim to pull off what would be a shock win on Wednesday.
Fiorentina: Experienced winger Franck Ribery won't be able to work his magic in this fixture, as the former Bayern Munich ace is out injured. In addition, the hosts will likely have to make do without German Pezzella.
Inter: Conte will have to manage without the services of defensive duo Danilo D'Ambrosio and Matteo Darmian, while Matias Vecino remains out for the long haul.
