Paulo Fonseca’s poor beginning of the spell with AC Milan alarmed everyone in the red-and-black part of the Capital of Fashion. Still, the heroic victory in the Derby della Madonina annulled everything bad and gave wings to the Rossoneri, who eye to continue their winning streak and beat Fiorentina just like they defeated Venezia, Lecce, and the Inter as mentioned above Milan.No time for the Uffizi; it’s matchday! 🔥 #FiorentinaMilan #SempreMilan pic.twitter.com/U1MMPhuGjg— AC Milan (@acmilan) October 6, 2024 AC Milan’s hero in the city derby, Matteo Gabbia, will once again take his place in the starting 11 alongside Fikayo Tomori. The team conceded only one goal in the last three games and Fonseca won’t change what functions perfectly, while the place in the attack will be reserved for Alvaro Morata. Apart from the Spaniard, the expectations will be high of Christian Pulisic as the American netted four times in the last four games, failing to do so only five days ago in the UCL clash with Bayer Leverkusen. At the same time, the Portuguese gaffer cannot count on the injured Luka Jovic, Davide Calabria, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.Morata at ‘war’ with his new mayor, an Inter Milan fanThe Rossoneri are five points behind the leading Napoli and the eventual victory would ensure they keep up with Antonio Conte’s team. On the other hand, Fiorentina recorded only one win so far and as many as four draws. Both teams are rather tired given that they had obligations in the European competitions – AC Milan lost to Bayer in the UCL, while the Viola beat the Welsh TNS 2-0 in the UEFA Conference League.
