Inter cannot fail against Fiorentina on date 30 of Series A

The derby at the Olympic Stadium this Sunday between Roma and Lazio will star the weekend, as it is a key game for the positions of European competitions, while AC Milan, Napoli and Inter cannot fail in this thirtieth round of Serie A Italy to stay with options to raise the ‘Scudetto’.

The Roman derby is the game of the day: Lazio arrive at the event in fifth position, one point ahead of a Roma team that suffered last Thursday to eliminate the Dutch Vitesse from the Europa League, something that could affect the future of the match , because his rival has not played since Monday.

Atalanta, seventh, out of European positions with one game in hand, needs to beat Bologna in order to benefit from the clash between the Romans, after which they can return to fifth position in the event of a draw.

There are still three contenders in the fight to become the most regular team in Italy. AC Milan, Napoli and Inter do not give up anything, but at this point, any setback can be decisive.

The rossoneri they lead the table and depend on themselves to win the championship with nine games to go. Those of Pioli, with problems to close the games but solid in defense, will face a Cagliari fully involved in the fight not to relegation that also urgently needs victory.

Three points below AC Milan is Napoli who, after sufficiently taking out a victory at home against a complicated rival like Hellas Verona, faces Udinese in a ‘trap’ match for the ‘partenopei’, since the ‘ Zebras’ has been performing well since the beginning of the year, led by Spaniard Gerard Deulofeu, and they need to score points to get out of the red zone for good.

In third position is Inter, still with one game in hand, one behind Napoli and four behind AC Milan. It has not been a good start to the year for Inzaghi’s men, who since losing the Milan derby on February 5, have only added one victory in Series A – against Salernitana, bottom team – and have been eliminated from the Champions League.

This day, in addition, nerazzurri they will face Fiorentina at the San Siro, in what could be a match to redeem themselves and put pressure on AC Milan and Napoli. Fiorentina, eighth with 46 points, looks to the European positions and a victory against the Interista team puts them squarely in the fight with Atalanta and Lazio.

Juventus, settled in fourth position with 56 points, receives the competition’s red lantern at home in a match in which Allegri’s team will seek to recover from the setback they received last Wednesday in the Champions League, where they were eliminated from the competition by Villarreal with a 0-3 that has unleashed criticism from his fans and the press.

Joaquín Correa over Felipao Caicedo

Few minutes (4) have been offered to the Ecuadorian Felipe Caicedo since he joined the Inter discipline at the end of January. He entered the 41st minute of the confrontation with Genoa on February 25 for the 27th date of the Italian championship. It was the first opportunity that coach Simone Inzaghi gave him, in a clash in Genoa that ended in a draw (0-0).

Well says the newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Edin Dzeko and Lautaro Martínez, in the first place. But then also Alexis Sánchez, Joaquín Correa and Felipe Caicedo”. The hierarchical order of the attackers was revalidated on matchday 29 when Inzaghi ordered the entry of the Argentine Correa against Torino (1-1) fifteen minutes from the end, while Caicedo was a spectator.

One date before, Correa played another fifteen minutes in Inter’s 5-0 win over Salernitana. Caicedo was left in the shadow of Dzeko, Martínez, Sánchez and Correa.

The Ecuadorian striker’s contract ends at the end of this season, on June 30.
