Comments and predictions for AC Milan vs Fiorentina: Equally strong

Latest information on AC Milan vs Fiorentina squad

Coach Sergio Conceicao has yet to find a satisfactory attacking formula. He will have to choose between Santiago Gimenez and Tammy Abraham to lead the attack. With the goal against Inter, Abraham has the advantage.

Rafael Leao and Alex Jimenez started on the flanks midweek, but Jimenez is suspended, opening the door for Riccardo Sottil, Samuel Chukwueze, or Christian Pulisic – who could be moved to the right.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Emerson Royal are still injured. However, American midfielder Yunus Musah is expected to recover after missing the derby through illness and will compete for a starting spot in midfield.

As for Fiorentina, Robin Gosens – who used to play for Inter – is hoping to return after a knee injury caused him to miss the match against Atalanta.

Andrea Colpani continues to be absent, but otherwise coach Raffaele Palladino has a full squad.

Moise Kean is a sure starter and is ready to make his 200th appearance in Europe’s top five leagues. The Italian striker has scored 16 goals and provided three assists in Serie A this season – and is looking to make his 20th appearance.

Latest football commentary AC Milan vs Fiorentina

Putting aside their dismal run of form in Serie A, Milan drew 1-1 in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final with Inter Milan on Wednesday night.

The Rossoneri extended their unbeaten run against their city rivals to four, but missed the chance to win when Tammy Abraham's opener was levelled by a powerful strike from former Milan man Hakan Calhanoglu.

Manager Sergio Conceicao – who is under heavy pressure – can thank captain Mike Maignan for keeping the score level, with “Magic Mike” making a series of important saves at the San Siro.

Ahead of their rematch with Inter in the final Derby della Madonnina of the season, Milan must find a way to salvage their Serie A campaign that is in freefall, having slipped to ninth place, nine points adrift of the top four.

They will have to compete fiercely with direct rivals such as Juventus, Lazio, Bologna, Roma and Fiorentina themselves – this weekend's opponents – to win a place in next season's European Cup.

After Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Napoli, Milan have lost four of their last six Serie A games – something that hasn't happened under a single coach since 2019, when Marco Giampaolo was in charge.

Like Giampaolo – now Lecce coach – Conceicao’s time at Milan may soon come to an end. The club’s board, advised by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, are planning to find a replacement in the summer.

Although Milan have beaten Fiorentina in all four of their most recent home games, even another win would only help them narrow the gap to just one point – with only seven rounds left in the season – leaving their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League still very distant.

Fiorentina, after a 2-1 win in the first leg in October, are looking to complete a double over Milan in the same season for the first time in 24 years. Their aim is to keep up with the two Rome teams just above them.

After a period of decline, the purple team has come back strongly with two victories against direct competitors for a European Cup spot – against Juventus and most recently Atalanta, a match in which Moise Kean scored the only goal after stealing the ball in the middle of the field and finishing coolly.

Fiorentina now have 51 points and a win at San Siro would see them record their best points tally after 31 games since 2016 – a season in which they finished fifth.

Raffaele Palladino's men are also aiming for the Conference League quarter-finals, where they face Slovenian side NK Celje next week. But first, the task is to beat Milan once more.
