On Sunday, October 6, Fiorentina will host AC Milan in the 7th round of Serie A, with kickoff at 20:45 Central European Time. The Dailysports analytics team has prepared a match preview and betting tips for this highly anticipated clash.
Fiorentina
This summer, Fiorentina saw a major change with the departure of head coach Vincenzo Italiano, replaced by the young ex-Monza manager, Raffaele Palladino. However, Palladino’s tenure in Florence has gotten off to a rocky start. Fiorentina has collected just 7 points in 6 Serie A matches, leaving them in 11th place.
Their sole victory of the season came in the 5th round, when they defeated Lazio 2-0, thanks to two penalty conversions by Albert Gudmundsson. In their most recent league outing, Fiorentina drew 0-0 against Empoli.
In the Conference League, Fiorentina struggled past Hungary's Puskás Akadémia in a penalty shootout, and in the group stage opener, they earned a hard-fought 2-0 win over Welsh side TNS.
AC Milan
Milan is going through a period of transition following the dismissal of Stefano Pioli and the appointment of Paulo Fonseca. The Rossoneri’s season has had its ups and downs so far, as they currently sit in third place, although they could have done even better.
In their first three matches, Milan secured only 2 points, drawing with Torino (2-2) and Lazio (2-2), and losing to Parma (1-2). However, they bounced back with three consecutive wins, including a crucial 2-1 victory in the Milan derby against Inter. In their latest league match, Fonseca's side cruised to a 3-0 triumph over Lecce.
Milan’s Champions League campaign has started on a sour note, with back-to-back losses. First, they were defeated 1-3 by Liverpool at home, followed by a narrow 0-1 loss to Bayer Leverkusen in Germany.
