Prediction for Fiorentina vs Milan
Last season, Fiorentina repeated their performance from the previous year. They once again reached the Conference League final but were defeated. Despite this, they earned the right to play in Europe again by finishing 8th in Serie A. Milan, while faltering in the Champions League by failing to reach the knockout stages, climbed to 2nd place in Serie A.
Despite their domestic success, Milan had already announced Stefano Pioli's departure, opting to replace him with Paulo Fonseca. Milan also saw notable squad changes, parting ways with Olivier Giroud and cashing in on Charles De Ketelaere. They signed Álvaro Morata, Strahinja Pavlović, Emerson Royal, Fofana, Tammy Abraham, and Vos. In Florence, Vincenzo Italiano was replaced by Raffaele Palladino, who was lured away from Monza. Fiorentina also underwent significant roster changes, including departures of key players like Giacomo Bonaventura, Sofyan Amrabat, Josip Brekalo, and Nico González (on loan to Juventus). However, the squad strengthened with the arrivals of David de Gea, Moise Kean, Marin Pongračić, Amir Richards, Gudmundsson, Robin Gosens, Cataldi, Edoardo Bove, and Moreno. Yacine Adli also joined from Milan.
Palladino’s debut with Fiorentina was underwhelming. They only advanced past Puskás Academy in Conference League qualifying on penalties after two draws. In Serie A, they started with three draws, followed by a loss to Palladino’s former club, Monza, and only secured their first win in the fifth round against Lazio. Recent matches included a 0-0 draw with Empoli and a 2-0 victory over New Saints in the Conference League. Meanwhile, Fonseca’s tenure at Milan had a disastrous start both in Serie A and the Champions League. When many expected his dismissal, Milan turned things around with consecutive wins against Inter and Lecce. However, a 0-1 loss to Bayer this week has once again put his future in doubt.
