Fiorentina vs AC Milan

Fiorentina [LWLWD] welcome AC Milan to the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Serie A after their 2-2 draw with Lazio. The match pits two sides heading in very different directions.

The hosts are searching for consistency and momentum, but Fiorentina’s recent form has been a concern.

They have claimed three wins from their last six home fixtures across all competitions, but their broader Serie A record paints a tougher picture.

La Viola have won just two of their last 19 league games, a run that has stalled ambitions and left them vulnerable against top opposition.

Defensive fragility has been a recurring issue at the Franchi, where Fiorentina have conceded an average of 1.56 goals per home match in Serie A.

That lack of solidity has contributed to open, high-scoring games, with over 2.5 goals landing in four of their last six league fixtures.

Against Milan, Fiorentina’s recent history offers little reassurance, as they have lost half of their last six meetings with the Rossoneri.

A 4—3—3 formation with Albert Guðmundsson, Roberto Piccoli, and Fabiano Parisi may be seen against Milan.

In football terms, Milan slipped into 3rd place after a 1-1 midweek draw with Genoa. A quick return to winning ways will be a priority as they head to Florence.

Milan have consistently found a way through regardless of venue. They have scored in 14 consecutive Serie A matches against Fiorentina.

They are currently undefeated in their last 17 Serie A matches, a remarkable run that highlights both their resilience and title credentials. Away from home, Allegri’s side have been particularly reliable, avoiding defeat in 11 of their last 12 away league games.

Their ability to manage hostile environments has been further underlined by three consecutive away wins in Serie A, showing a blend of composure and cutting edge.

Historically, trips to Florence have not been short of drama for Milan, but the patterns remain encouraging from their perspective. The pattern of recent results adds confidence.

Each of their last five away Serie A matches against Fiorentina has produced over 2.5 goals, suggesting entertainment is likely once again. With Milan consistently scoring and Fiorentina often conceding at home, the tactical balance appears tilted towards the visitors, particularly if the game opens up early.

A 3—5—2 formation with Rafael Leão and Pulisic in attack is expected against Fiorentina.
