Milan vs Fiorentina Prediction Adam Hakanson Pro Tipster

Milan: Form, Lineup & Prediction

Current form

Milan have won their last 3 Serie A matches, scoring 8 goals and conceding just 2. Their recent resurgence has seen them climb back into the top 4 after a mid-season slump.

Key players and injuries

• Unavailable players: Zlatan Ibrahimovic (knee), Ismael Bennacer (calf)
• In-form contributors: Rafael Leao (4 goals in last 3 games), Sandro Tonali (2 goals, 3 assists in last 5)

Position in the standings

Milan currently sit 4th in the Serie A table with 54 points from 29 games, just 2 points behind 3rd-placed Lazio. A top 4 finish and Champions League qualification is very much in their sights.

Strengths and weaknesses

Milan's main strengths are their potent attack led by Rafael Leao and the in-form Olivier Giroud, as well as a solid midfield anchored by Sandro Tonali. However, their defense has shown some vulnerability lately, especially with Fikayo Tomori's recent drop in form.

Prediction for Milan

Despite some defensive concerns, Milan's attack should have enough quality to overcome Fiorentina at home, especially if Leao and Giroud continue their rich vein of form. A narrow home win looks likely.

Fiorentina: Form, Lineup & Prediction

Current form

Fiorentina have struggled for consistency recently, winning just 2 of their last 6 Serie A matches. However, they did claim an impressive 2-1 victory over Juventus in their previous away game.

Key players and injuries

• Unavailable players: Riccardo Sottil (thigh), Gaetano Castrovilli (knee)
• In-form contributors: Luka Jovic (4 goals in last 6 games), Jonathan Ikoné (3 assists in last 4)

Position in the standings

Fiorentina currently occupy 11th place in the Serie A table with 38 points from 29 games. Their hopes of qualifying for Europe this season are fading after an inconsistent campaign.

Strengths and weaknesses

La Viola's main strengths lie in their attacking talents like Luka Jovic, Jonathan Ikoné and Arthur Cabral. However, they have struggled defensively at times this season and tend to concede too many goals against the top sides.

Prediction for Fiorentina

While Fiorentina are certainly capable of scoring against Milan, their defensive vulnerabilities and Milan's strong home form make an away win appear unlikely here. A narrow defeat looks to be on the cards.
