AC Milan take on the visitors Fiorentina in the round 13 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, November 25th at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (Milan).
The Red and Blacks found themselves in a challenging Champions League group. Initially, it seemed like the semi-finalists from the previous tournament were doomed with zero goals and 2 points, secured through goalless draws with Newcastle at home and Borussia Dortmund away in the first round. It was rumored that Pioli's fate was hanging by a thread, but his team defeated PSG at home after a 0-3 loss away, putting them back in contention for the playoffs. The upcoming match against the Germans at home will again be decisive; they must win to stay in the race. However, their performance on the domestic front has declined. After 8 rounds, they led the table with 7 victories. However, consecutive home losses (0-1 to Juventus and Udinese) and away draws (2-2 with Napoli and Lecce) caused them to slide to 3rd place. Meanwhile, their neighbor and leader, Inter, have already pulled ahead by 8 points.

Fiorentina are showing its football level under Vincenzo Italiano. The Purple Ones benefited significantly from Italiano's invitation. In the previous season, his first in Florence, the coach led his new charges to 7th place, even after selling Vlahovic, who scored the majority of goals, to Juventus in January 2022. This allowed the Viola to enter the Conference League, where, starting from the qualifiers, they reached the final. However, they lost the decisive match against West Ham, as well as the Italian Cup final. In Serie A, they slipped to the 1st position. Still, UEFA punished Juventus, expelling them from European competitions. So, Fiorentina are back in the same tournament, performing well: they passed Vienna's Rapid in qualifiers, earned 8 points in the group stage after 4 matches. In Serie A, they have 6 wins and 20 points. They broke their streak of three consecutive losses before international matches by beating Bologna 2-1. As a result, they share the 5th-6th place with formidable Atalanta.
In both the previous and the season before that, the team hosting the match emerged victorious. Now AC Milan are playing at their home San Siro. We will risk believing that this will help them secure a victory.
Prediction for the match: AC Milan to win.
