AC Milan welcome the visitors ACF Fiorentina in the Italian Serie A – Round 17. The match will be held on Saturday, December 22nd, at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan).
AC Milan had quite a good start to this season, suffering no defeats in their 8 consecutive matches after the loss in the first round. They have receded somehow lately though, featuring no win in 3 matches (moreover, they scored only 1 goal in these fixtures). It cannot yet be said that the club are under crisis now, but if it goes like this, the crisis is not far off. In our view, such situation motivates the players, and it will charge them for a win in the coming fixture. Moreover, the home match factor will have a say, and Gonzalo Higuain is goalless in 7 rounds yet, so, tomorrow he may have a chance to break his bad series. If the Milan team look to stay in the Champions League zone, they will have to rack up points in every match, moreover, the winter break is coming.

ACF Fiorentina have finally interrupted their winless run of 8 matches. Now they are sharing the 10th line in the table with Torino, being ahead of them by the goal difference. The Florence team scored 24 goals and missed 17. It is noteworthy that Fiorentina have never won away in this season – they demonstrate a confident and safe play at home but make many mistakes in outings. Thus, the guests are unlikely to end in a draw at least against the highly motivated Milan.
Though the Saturday afternoon match will see a battle of more or less equal opponents, we are more positive about Milan. The home side’s squad are better staffed than the ‘Lilies’’. The hosts’ boast more qualified players (Milan’s single goal in 3 matches will only add to their excitement tomorrow), and their home record is good (this will surely have an impact on Fiorentina who fail to demonstrate a decent football in their trips). The welcoming side will be more motivated than the guests – Milan fight for the Champions League zone, while Fiorentina will anyway stay above the relegation zone (which is enough for them at present, as we think).
Prediction for the match: AC Milan to win home.
