Recent H2H results: Fiorentina 1-2 AC Milan (14-12-25)
Prediction:
Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 1-2 in favor of AC Milan.
Milan's superior possession and shot creation should dominate proceedings. Fiorentina likely to employ defensive compactness and counter-attacking approach. Pulisic and Leão's pace creates significant tactical advantages for Milan. Fiorentina's injury concerns (Lamprey, Dzeko both doubtful) further limit attacking options. Milan's pressing and transitions should exploit Fiorentina's limited midfield creativity.
League position gap (2nd vs 18th), recent head-to-head result (2-1 to Milan), superior attacking personnel, possession dominance pattern, and Fiorentina's recent poor form all strongly favor Milan. Home advantage provides minimal offset given quality differential.
