My Prediction
Fiorentina by 1Alright, loyal betters, prepare to have your minds enlightened! Brace yourselves as we delve into this Serie A matchup between Fiorentina and Milan.
Both teams are cautiously peering over the fence with Fiorentina guarding the ball at the back with goalkeeper David De Gea churning out a 7.77 rating and 11 saves. Milan, on the other hand, has a tale of two goalkeepers. Mike Maignan not too far behind with a 7.20 rating with 12 saves and Marco Sportiello seems to have got his gloves dusty with just 1 save and a meager rating of 6.50.
Let's briefly tickle the stats of the players who've caught my ever-critical eye. On the Fiorentina side, Rolando Mandragora, Nicolò Fagioli and Pablo Marí are turning heads with their impressive stats, a blend of solid goals and commendable pass accuracy.
On the Milan end, we have Christian Pulišić, the little dynamite, with 3 goals and 76.5% pass accuracy. Tijjani Reijnders and Theo Hernández are not far behind; they appear to be on their game lately.
We're not in the business of ignoring history here, our past matchups remind us of closely fought encounters. The most recent game ended in favor of Fiorentina, but it's been back and forth, with no clear dominance from either side.
Looking briefly at the regular season records, Fiorentina has been somewhat more successful, boasting a 15-6-9 record, while Milan is right behind, with a 13-8-9. Yet, don't be misled, games aren't won on paper.
Recent form shows Fiorentina taking three wins and two losses in their recent five matches. Milan on their part seem to be playing a game of win-loss variety with a similar record.
Now, folks, if I were an oracle (and let's face it, I am), Fiorentina, with the superior goalkeeper and impressive player stats, and accounting for the mystery of yesteryears, seems to have a slight edge.
