Our predictions for Milan vs Fiorentina
Match Prediction: Milan 2-0 Fiorentina
Milan's recent form suggests a strong performance at home. With four wins in their last five matches, including a solid 2-0 victory against Lecce away, Milan's confidence will be high. Their ability to secure narrow victories, as seen against Bologna and Napoli, indicates a disciplined approach that could trouble Fiorentina's inconsistent defence.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, have struggled, losing three of their last five games. Their inability to convert draws into wins, as evidenced by the 0-0 stalemate against Torino, points to a lack of cutting edge. Milan's robust defence and Fiorentina's recent poor form suggest a game where Milan will likely control the tempo and capitalise on Fiorentina's vulnerabilities.
