AC Milan will look to revive their struggling Serie A campaign when they host Fiorentina at San Siro on Saturday night. For the first time since December 2017, Fiorentina enter this fixture ahead of Milan in the standings, with a four-point gap separating the two sides. Milan are enduring a disappointing domestic season, currently sitting in ninth place, nine points adrift of the top four. Their latest setback came in a 2-1 loss to Napoli, marking their fourth defeat in six league games under Sergio Conceicao. While they managed a 1-1 draw against Inter in the Coppa Italia semi-final first leg, their hopes of securing a Champions League spot are fading fast.

Meanwhile, Fiorentina have momentum on their side after victories over Juventus and Atalanta, with Moise Kean scoring the decisive goal against La Dea. Sitting just below the top four, Raffaele Palladino’s men are aiming to do the league double over Milan for the first time since 2001. The Viola have already secured a spot in the Conference League quarter-finals and remain in strong contention for a European finish in Serie A.

For Milan, Tammy Abraham is expected to start up front after scoring against Inter, while Christian Pulisic may shift to the right to cover for the suspended Alex Jimenez. Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Emerson Royal remain sidelined, but Yunus Musah could return. Fiorentina are likely to welcome Robin Gosens back, while Kean will be aiming to continue his excellent form in attack.

Given Fiorentina’s recent defensive solidity I expect a close game with the hosts coming on the top.

周六晚上，AC米兰将在圣西罗主场迎战佛罗伦萨，希望能重振他们在意甲联赛中的颓局。自2017年12月以来，佛罗伦萨首次在积分榜上领先米兰，两队之间相差4分。米兰正在经历一个令人失望的国内赛季，目前排名第九，距离前四还有9分的差距。他们最近的一次挫折是2-1输给那不勒斯，这是他们在孔塞西乔执教的六场联赛中的第四场失利。虽然他们在意大利杯半决赛首回合1-1战平国米，但他们确保欧冠席位的希望正在迅速消退。

与此同时，佛罗伦萨在战胜尤文图斯和亚特兰大之后势头强劲，莫伊兹·基恩在对阵拉迪亚的比赛中打进了决定性的一球。目前排名前四，拉斐尔·帕拉迪诺的球队的目标是自2001年以来第一次在联赛中击败米兰双冠王。紫百合已经锁定了一个进入联盟杯四分之一决赛的席位，并且在意甲联赛中仍有很强的竞争力。

对于米兰来说，塔米·亚伯拉罕在对阵国际米兰的比赛中进球后有望在前场首发，而克里斯蒂安·普利西奇可能会移到右路，以顶替停赛的希门尼斯。鲁本-洛夫图斯-奇克和爱默生-罗亚尔仍然缺阵，但尤努斯-穆萨可能会回归。佛罗伦萨很可能欢迎罗宾·戈森斯的回归，而基恩的目标是继续他在进攻端出色的状态。

考虑到佛罗伦萨最近的防守稳固，我期待一场势均力敌的比赛。
