🗞️ Team News: AC Milan

Simon Kjaer (Muscle fatigue), Noah Okafor (Hamstring muscle injury), Marco Sportiello (muscular problems), Rafael Leão (Hamstring muscle injury), Marco Pellegrino (Ankle sprain), Ismaël Bennacer (Knee surgery), Mattia Caldara (Ankle surgery) and Pierre Kalulu (Patellar tendon problems) aren’t available for AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli. Olivier Giroud will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We think that i Rossoneri will probably make use of the 4-3-3 formation this time with Mike Maignan, Davide Calabria, Malick Thiaw, Fikayo Tomori, Theo Hernandez, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Rade Krunic, Tijani Reijnders, Samuel Chukwueze, Luka Jovic and Christian Pulisic.

🗞️ Team News: Fiorentina

Fiorentina boss Vincenzo Italiano has multiple availability issues to deal with. Michael Kayode (sprain), Gaetano Castrovilli (Knee surgery) and Dodô (Cruciate ligament injury) miss out here. Luca Ranieri will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We’re of the thinking that La Viola appear most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 system, starting Pietro Terracciano, Fabiano Parisi, L. Martinez Quarta, Nikola Milenkovic, Cristiano Biraghi, Arthur, Alfred Duncan, Nicolas Gonzalez, Giacomo Bonaventura, Josip Brekalo and Lucas Beltran.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Fiorentina will really need to work well to score goals against this AC Milan lineup who we think should score one, at least.

Therefore, we predict a very competitive game with a 1-0 winning score for AC Milan at the end of this one.

Little in this one.
