Serie A, Fiorentina-Milan –

Pioli’s men return to the field after the knockouts against Napoli and Manchester United: Fiorentina have not won at home against the Rossoneri since August 2015 and the Tuscan coach has lost his last seven matches

After leaving the Europa League, at the hands of Manchester United, Milan plunged back into the league. The Rossoneri are suspended between the desire to raise a trophy, the word of Ibra after the defeat against the Red Devils (“I want to play to win something, we are second and we must continue to try to win the championship. If we reach the Champions League, that’s fine, but the goal is to win a trophy “), and the need to be safe at least for qualifying for the next Champions League. The gap from leaders Inter is 9 points, with the possibility that they will become 6 given that the Nerazzurri will not play against Sassuolo. But Napoli, fifth, is only at -6 and with the match against Juve to recover.

On Sunday, at 6 pm, the Devil visits Fiorentina. The Viola come from a nice external success against Benevento, thanks to Vlahovic’s super hat-trick, and now have seven points ahead of Cagliari third from last: an important gap, but Prandelli is looking for three points to close the salvation speech almost definitively. The Tuscans have never won two consecutive games in this league. That of Franchi will be the challenge number 162 in Serie A between the two teams: 44 victories for Fiorentina, as many draws and 73 successes for Milan, who in Florence have won 25 times against 31 of the viola (24 even). In the last four league matches between the two teams, three have ended in a draw (and a Rossoneri victory): Fiorentina’s last home win against the Devil dates back to August 2015, 2-0 with goals from Marcos Alonso and Ilicic.

NUMBERS AND PRANDELLI

Pioli has to deal with the numbers in sharp decline in the second round compared to what was done at the beginning of the season: the average points in the first eight days of the second part of the championship is 1.6 points per game, much lower than 2, 5 points after the first eight games of the first round. And after having always scored in 38 consecutive league matches, Milan have failed to score in four of their last nine games. Prandelli has to break a taboo: in the last seven games against the Rossoneri they have only lost defeats and in six of these matches his team has not managed to find the goal.
