Fiorentina vs AC Milan prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2024-03-29 19:45.
[p]European hopefuls Fiorentina are one of only two Italian sides who are still involved in three competitions, leaving La Viola with at least 13 games to play between now and the end of the season, beginning with a home clash against AC Milan on Saturday. The hosts are unbeaten in six matches across all competitions (W2, D4) although that record could have been better had they not conceded last-gasp equalisers in their final two outings before the international break.[/p]
[p]Fiorentina can ill-afford any further late heartbreak if they’re to achieve a first top-five finish since 2015/16, so they’ll be glad to be on their own turf for this clash where they’re especially strong. Vincenzo Italiano’s men have lost just once in their last 13 matches at the Stadio Artemio Franchi (W9, D3), with that sole defeat coming against runaway league leaders Inter Milan.[/p]
[p]AC Milan will look to join their arch rivals in breaching fortress Fiorentina, and they’ll certainly be confident having entered the international hiatus on a five-match winning streak – three of which came on the road. That uptick in form lifted Stefano Pioli’s men clear of Juventus and into second place, though a daunting 14-point gap to the summit means they’re likely competing to finish as ‘best of the rest’.[/p]
[p]The Rossoneri are one of just two sides in Serie A to have scored in all of their away league matches this term, while six of their last seven road trips have produced four or more total goals. More entertainment looks set to follow here, as their last three visits to Florence have yielded 15 goals (W1, L2).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Midfielder Rolando Mandragora scored in Fiorentina’s last home league game and also earlier in the month in Europe, with all four of his strikes this season coming in the second-half of games. Christian Pulisic has found the net in four consecutive matches, and has been on the winning side in 11 of the 12 matches that he has scored in for Milan.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Milan have scored two or more goals in nine of their last ten Serie A away fixtures.[/p]
