Inter have taken 19 points from seven Serie A matches and remain unbeaten after seven games. They have also come from behind to win four times in those seven league fixtures, which is a strong sign of how hard they are to shake once a match starts slipping away. Fiorentina arrive with 4 points and 17 goals conceded in seven league matches.
Inter's comeback habit
The best way to read Inter right now is as a team that never seems to stay down for long. Six wins and a draw have built the total, but the comeback figure is the more revealing one, because four of those league wins came from behind. That sort of habit can mask bad starts and still leave a side in control of its season.
They have also scored 21 Serie A goals in seven games, while conceding only 9. That balance gives them room to recover when they start slowly, and it explains why their unbeaten run has not felt fragile despite the number of times they have needed to respond.
Fiorentina's defensive problems
Fiorentina's issue is much simpler and much uglier. They have lost five of their seven league matches and have already shipped 17 goals, which is the kind of early defensive return that puts every away trip under pressure before the first whistle.
Paolo Vanoli is trying to steady the attack as well. TuttoMercatoWeb reported that he is ready to give continuity to Mateo Pellegrino after the early duel with Beto, and Pellegrino's last league goal came against Torino on the fourth matchday. The coach needs some sort of stable outlet, because the team cannot keep asking the back line to survive for long stretches.
San Siro has not been a friendly venue for Fiorentina either. They have lost their last three visits to Milan, conceding 9 goals and scoring only 1, and that history fits the current gap between these two sides. Inter's start is built on control and recovery, while Fiorentina are still trying to stop the damage.
