Fiorentina vs Milan Preview
Fiorentina
Fiorentina sit in 11th place in the Serie A with a balanced goal difference (7:7): four draws, one defeat and one victory. Only Atalanta defeated Fiorentina (3-2, about ten days ago), and their only victory followed in the next match, against Lazio (2-1).
In Europe, the team’s opening game ended in a 2-0 victory against Welsh side The New Saints.

The club had a busy summer as it oversaw the exit of players like Sofyan Amrabat, Josip Brekalo, and Giacomo Bonaventura. At the same time, the exciting arrivals include Robin Gosens, Yacine Adli, David de Gea, and Moise Kean.
Kean has emerged as one of the standout players this season, excelling as the central striker and a constant threat in the box. His mobility makes him a perfect target for Adli, who often finds him in prime scoring positions. The two have developed impressive chemistry, with Kean’s movement off the ball complementing Adli’s playmaking ability, allowing them to link up effectively in attack.

However, it is not the attack but the defence that worries fans, as the 0-0 draw against Empoli is the only game in Serie A in which the backline kept a clean sheet. David de Gea was brought in to fix this issue, but he alone won’t suffice.
Milan
After Milan parted ways with Stefano Pioli, hopes were high for a team with high potential. However, the club hired Paulo Fonseca, and after one month, the results have been mixed.
In Serie A, Milan is third with eleven points, trailing Napoli by two and Juventus by one.
Results in Europe are the main issue so far, as Milan lost without a fight against Liverpool at home (3-1), while the second game saw Milan bow down to Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen (1-0).

On the positive side, Il Rossoneri won the Milan Derby (2-1) despite tipsters predicting a victory for Inter.
Milan might be third in the league, but their two victories came against the low-rated teams Venezia and Lecce. This is Milan’s opportunity to demonstrate that they can achieve a good result against more resilient teams, especially after the victory in the Milan derby.

Unfortunately, Fonseca will have to do without Bennacer and Alessandro Fiorenzi who are injured. Furthermore, Milan figures among the best-scoring teams in Italy, which should be enough to guarantee a victory in Firenze.

- Score Prediction: Fiorentina 1-2 Milan
It’s unlikely to see a clean sheet on Sunday night given the attackers who will be fighting for three points on Sunday night.
For Milan, Rafael Leão will need to prove that he hasn’t stalled. Despite being hyped as an elite winger, the Portuguese attacker still needs to improve when it comes to his goal output.
Leão often dribbles with ease past his opponent but panics in front of the goal. Fans have criticized this, and this game is one of those where he will have the opportunity to demonstrate his talent.

Tijjani Reijnders is another player who should be performing better than last season but hasn’t seen his performances skyrocket in 24/25.
However, one should not mistake the clash as one-sided. Moise Kean and Yacine Adli will combine in the final three. The pair is likely to be supported from deep by Lucas Beltrán. This trio shows great promise, especially with Dodo and Gosens forming an excellent full-back partnership capable of covering the wings.
Milan struggled to keep up with Leverkusen’s attacks through the wings, a scenario Fiorentina should be looking to reproduce.
Fiorentina vs Milan Betting Tip
- Pick: Moise Kean to score
- Odds: 3.1 (22Bet)
If there is one thing that is certain, it’s that this game will be a high-level attacking game, in which both teams are expected to overload the opponent when counter-attacking.
However, Moise Kean will be supported by a full-back duo that is more than apt when It comes to athletic performances.
While Théo Hernández could give Milan an edge, the other full-back , Emerson Royal, is yet to justify his purchase. Fiorentina is likely to exploit Milan’s vulnerability on the wings through counter-attacks.
