🗞️ Team News: Fiorentina

Marin Pongračić (Muscle fatigue) and Rolando Mandragora (Knee injury) will not be taking part for Fiorentina boss Raffaelle Palladino.

It looks as if La Viola may well make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation for this one, utilising David De Gea, Dodo, Pietro Comuzzo, Luca Ranieri, Robin Gosens, Yacine Adli, Danilo Cataldi, Andrea Colpani, Edoardo Bove, Albert Gudmundsson and Moise Kean.

📋 Team News: AC Milan

AC Milan boss Paulo Fonseca has not got a full squad to pick from. Marco Sportiello (Hand injury), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Muscle fatigue), Luka Jović (Stress reaction of the bone), Davide Calabria (Calf problems), Ismaël Bennacer (Calf muscle tear) and Alessandro Florenzi (Cruciate ligament injury) are not able to play.

We’re of the thinking that i Rossoneri seem most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting Mike Maignan, Emerson Royal, Matteo Gabbia, Fikayo Tomori, Theo Hernandez, Youssouf Fofana, Tijjani Reijnders, Christian Pulisic, Alvaro Morata, Rafael Leao and Tammy Abraham.

💭 Prediction

We’re envisaging that Fiorentina will do well to get anything against this AC Milan team who we reckon should score one, at least.

We therefore fancy a hard-fought 0-1 winning score for AC Milan at the end of this one.

Little in this one.
