📰 Team News: Fiorentina

The Fiorentina manager Vincenzo Italiano will be grateful to have no fitness concerns to speak of ahead of this match with a fully injury-free squad ready to go.

We are thinking that La Viola could line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation this time with Pietro Terracciano, Dodo, Nikola Milenkovic, L. Martinez Quarta, Cristiano Biraghi, Rolando Mandragora, Alfred Duncan, Jonathan Ikone, Lucas Beltran, Christian Kouame and Andrea Belotti.

📰 Team News: AC Milan

AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli has some current player fitness concerns. Simon Kjaer (Muscle injury), Pierre Kalulu (Collateral ligament injury) and Tommaso Pobega (Hamstring injury) will miss out on this game. Theo Hernández will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

It’s our belief that i Rossoneri could decide to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation with a starting lineup of Mike Maignan, Davide Calabria, Malick Thiaw, Fikayo Tomori, Alessandro Florenzi, Ismael Bennacer, Tijjani Reijnders, Samuel Chukwueze, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud.

🧠 Prediction

It seems to us that AC Milan and Fiorentina could end up without much reward for their efforts here.

Let’s see how it plays out, but a draw with few scoring chances is looking likely to us. We’re therefore predicting a very competitive game with a 0-0 score after 90 minutes.
