AC Milan return to Serie A action on Sunday looking to extend their unbeaten streak to seven games across all competitions. They host a struggling Fiorentina side at San Siro. While Max Allegri’s return to the Milan dugout has sparked renewed optimism, his opposite number, Stefano Pioli, finds himself under mounting pressure.
The Rossoneri were frustrated in their last outing before the international break, drawing 0-0 with Juventus after Christian Pulisic missed from the penalty spot. Despite the stalemate, Milan’s defensive form has been outstanding with four clean sheets in six league games. Allegri’s influence has brought structure and pragmatism, allowing the likes of Luka Modric and Rafael Leao to thrive.

Unburdened by European competition this season, Milan’s focus on domestic form is paying off. They sit third in the table with 13 points, just two behind leaders Napoli and Roma. They have been clinical at home, winning their last three games at San Siro without conceding. In stark contrast, Fiorentina’s season has been anything but encouraging.
Winless after six Serie A matchdays, Fiorentina’s campaign has started in disarray. A 2-1 home defeat to Roma last time out summed up their woes, as they squandered another lead. Their defense has looked fragile and their attack inconsistent, with Italy international Moise Kean’s first league goal failing to spark a turnaround.

AC Milan’s recent matches have been full of attacking intent, with the Rossoneri scoring eight goals in their last three games before the goalless Juventus draw. Fiorentina, meanwhile, have struggled defensively, conceding seven goals in their last four Serie A fixtures, but they still pose a threat going forward. With Milan’s attacking form at home and Fiorentina’s leaky defense, this fixture has all the makings of a game that should cross the 2.5-goal mark.
Rafael Leao anytime scorer looks a smart play. The Portuguese has only played 2 Serie A matches this season but he is likely to start here. Leao’s pace on the left wing and ability to beat the first man will come in handy against Fiorentina’s leaky back line. With AC Milan likely to dominate territory and chances, the price on Leao offers good value.

Fiorentina haven’t won at San Siro since 2018 and have lost four of their last five visits. With Milan’s confidence high and their defense rock-solid, it’s hard to see the visitors breaking their drought. The Rossoneri’s balance and home form make them clear favorites to take all three points and keep pace in the title race.
Final Prediction: AC Milan 2-1 Fiorentina
