AC Milan vs Fiorentina: Predicted lineup, injury news, head-to-head, telecast

AC Milan have won only once in last 6 games

AC Milan started their season with bang and looked like they were up for something special but things have slowed down for them in the last few matches. They have won only one game in the last six games of all competitions. Their defense hasn't been up to the mark with nine goals conceded in the last five games.

Florentina have been really impressive so far, they could've been in top 4 now but recent narrow losses to Lazio and Juventus have snapped them back to 6th position. Their attacking duo of Nico Gonzalez and Giancomo Bonaventura has been on song so far in the season and will be looking to continue their hot run against AC Milan as well.

Kick-Off:

Sunday, 26 November 2023 at (1:15 AM IST)

Location: Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, Milan

Form:

AC Milan (in all competitions): L-D-L-W-D

Fiorentina (in all competitions): W-L-L-W-W

Player to Watch

Nico Gonzalez (AC Milan)

Nico Gonzalez was linked with a move away from Florentina throughout the summer window but the club refused to sell him and clearly he has paid off the faith. He has scored six goals so far and has looked at his absolute best. Apart from his goal scoring ability, his all-round ability to help defense in transition makes him an integral part of Florentina.

Rafael Leao (AC Milan)

Rafael Leao has been the man for AC Milan in recent seasons but this hasn't been same for him. They have many names like Pulisic, Giroud and many more but no one has ability like Leao to win single-handedly. Leao has scored three goals for them and three assists. With lack of goalscoring options in the squad, Leao is going to be critical for this match.
