Fiorentina – AC Milan

Fiorentina host AC Milan in what promises to be a crucial clash for both sides as the season approaches its midway point. The Viola sit 15th in the table with just three points from one win and three defeats, having scored five and conceded eleven, and will be desperate to close the gap to safety. Milan, meanwhile, sit comfortably in sixth place with eight points after two victories and two draws, boasting a solid defensive record of four goals conceded while netting seven. The contrast in recent form is stark, and the visitors will look to extend their unbeaten run, while the hosts hope to spark a revival before the winter break. A positive result for Fiorentina could see them climb out of the relegation zone, whereas a win for Milan would solidify their push for a European spot.
