Overview
AC Milan's recent form has fluctuated quite erratically. In the last 6 rounds of Serie A, coach Sergio Conceicao's team lost 4 matches (against Torino, Bologna, Lazio, Napoli) and won only 2 (against Como, Lecce).
Notably, the Rossoneri's defense conceded in all 6 matches and conceded a total of 12 goals. These disappointing results have pushed the San Siro team down to 9th in the Serie A rankings.
Meanwhile, Fiorentina are increasingly showing stability. The home team Artemio Franchi just excellently defeated Atalanta with a minimum score. This is also the 3rd consecutive victory in all competitions of coach Raffaele Palladino's team. They beat Juventus 3-0 in Serie A and beat Panathinaikos 3-1 in the Europa Conference League.
Fiorentina's attack is generally playing well with an average of 2 goals/match in the last 5 matches. They do not depend too much on any individual but possess many factors that know how to take turns shining like Moise Kean, Mandragora or Gudmundsson. The above trio have contributed 7/10 goals in the recent period.
Fiorentina won 2-1 at home in the first leg of this season, with goals from Yacine Adli and Albert Gudmundsson. Meanwhile, Christian Pulisic scored the only goal for Milan.
That match also saw 2 red cards from Theo Hernandez and Fiorentina head coach Raffaele Palladino. In addition, 6 yellow cards were drawn, including Milan's then-head coach Paulo Fonseca. This shows the tense developments every time the two teams meet.
Personnel situation
AC Milan's Alex Jimenez is suspended, but Yunus Musah is expected to recover to start.
On the other side of the front line, Robin Gosens could return to Fiorentina from injury, and the former Inter player will want to do everything to get a start.
Expected lineup:
AC Milan: Maignan, Walker, Gabbia, Thiaw, Hernandez, Fofana, Bondo, Pulisic, Reijnders, Leao, Abraham.
Fiorentina: De Gea, Pongracic, Mari, Ranieri, Dodo, Fagioli, Cataldi, Mandragora, Gosens, Gudmundsson, Kean.
The match between AC Milan and Fiorentina takes place at 1:45 am on April 6 (Vietnam time).
