Current form: AC Milan vs Fiorentina

Milan's form has been quite disappointing, to say the least. The Rossoneri come into this game having suffered a surprising elimination from the Europa League after losing to Olympiakos on matchday six, and followed that up with an insipid scoreless draw against Bologna. While they are still managing to hang on to a spot in the top four, they now have Atalanta creeping up on them. To complicate matters, their injury crisis continues to deepen, and the hosts will also be missing two key midfielders due to suspension for this clash. Gonzalo Higuain, brought in from Juventus to try to solve their goalscoring woes has hit a rough spell in front of goal and now has been linked with a swift exit from the Stadio San Siro.

In short, with just one win from their last five league games, Milan are barely hanging onto fourth place by a thread. And given that they are now out of the Europa League, the only way into the Champions League is to finish in the top four. Meanwhile, their upcoming opponents, Fiorentina, have had their own struggles, and finally ended an eight game winless run by beating Empoli 3-1 last weekend. Prior to the victory over Empoli, the Viola's last Serie A win was on September 30th, when they beat Atalanta 2-0.
