Inter Milan face Fiorentina test as Serie A leaders target another San Siro victory

Inter Milan host Fiorentina at San Siro on Sunday, 25 October 2026, with the home side looking to maintain their strong start to the Serie A season.

The match, which forms part of the eighth round of the Italian championship, will kick off at 11:30 GMT in Milan. It will be broadcast by DAZN in France, Spain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Paramount+, Peacock, CBS Sports Network, Telemundo and fuboTV hold the rights in the United States, while viewers in Canada can watch on DAZN Canada, fuboTV and Amazon Prime Video. In Australia and New Zealand, coverage is available through beIN Sports and beIN Sports Connect.

Inter hold the historical advantage

The two clubs have met 192 times in all competitions. Inter Milan have won 82 of those fixtures, compared with 51 victories for Fiorentina, while 59 matches have ended in draws.

Inter Milan have scored 300 goals across those encounters, with Fiorentina registering 243. The most recent five meetings have also favoured the Nerazzurri, who have recorded three wins. Fiorentina have won once and one game has finished level.

Inter Milan enter the fixture in particularly impressive form. They have put together a series of victories to sit at the top of Serie A and remain unbeaten at San Siro. Their performances have been built on a prolific attack and a well-organised defence.

Fiorentina’s campaign has been less consistent. The Viola have shown they can threaten opponents in attack, but their away form and defensive vulnerabilities remain concerns ahead of a visit to the league leaders.

After seven league matches, Fiorentina are 18th in the table, with one win, one draw and five defeats.

Prediction favours the hosts

Inter Milan are expected to take all three points on home soil. Their position as joint leaders, combined with their current attacking form, makes them clear favourites at San Siro.

Fiorentina have enough attacking quality to score, but the prediction is that Inter Milan’s greater collective strength will prove decisive.

Africafoot’s prediction is an Inter Milan victory by 3-1.

The published betting odds also make the hosts strong favourites. Inter Milan are priced at 1.29 to win, while a draw is rated at 5.10 and a Fiorentina victory at 6.70.
