AC MilanvsACF Fiorentina

The Rossoneri's Resurgence

AC Milan is riding high. Fresh off a stunning 3-1 victory against Real Madrid in the Champions League, the Rossoneri are brimming with confidence. Alvaro Morata's goal against his former club was a highlight, but the real story is Milan's form. They're unbeaten in their last six matches and have won their last three home games. The San Siro is becoming a fortress once again.

Fiorentina's Struggles

Fiorentina, on the other hand, is in a slump. A 1-1 draw against Torino, despite playing against ten men for over an hour, has extended their winless streak. The Viola have only managed two points from their last six league matches. Coach Raffaele Palladino is under pressure, with rumors swirling about a potential replacement. Their away form is decent, but they haven't scored in two of their last three away matches.

Head-to-Head Drama

Historically, AC Milan has the upper hand when playing at home against Fiorentina, winning 16 out of 29 encounters. The most common result in these fixtures is a 1-0 win for Milan. However, last season's meetings were tight, with a 2-2 draw at San Siro and a 2-1 win for Fiorentina at home. Both teams have shown they can score against each other, with an average of 2.8 goals per match in their encounters.

The Prediction

Given Milan's current form and Fiorentina's struggles, the Rossoneri are favorites to win this clash. With key players like Christian Pulisic back in form and the team's recent performances, Milan is poised to continue their winning streak. However, Fiorentina's ability to score on the road suggests they might find the net. Expect a hard-fought match with both teams scoring, but Milan should edge it out.
