AC Milan are currently occupying fifth spot in the Serie A table, having collected 11 points from six games, two points adrift of the top four but with a game in hand. Rossoneri have recorded three wins, two draws and a defeat in the league so far and their last win came against Lecce last weekend thanks first-half efforts from Alvaro Morata, Theo Hernandez and Christian Pulisic.
However, Milan have struggled in Europe this season, having suffered a loss at home to Liverpool before being edged out by Leverkusen on Tuesday evening (local time). Rossoneri have now won only nine of their last 33 games at the elite level.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, secured all three Conference League points at home against The New Saint on Thursday (local time) thanks to two unanswered goals from Yacine Adil and Moise Kean in the second-half.
Meanwhile, the Viola's league form has been inconsistent since Rafaele Palladino took over from Vincenzo Italiano. Gigliati failed to win any of their first four Serie A games before beating Lazio deep in September. However, a derby draw with Empoli led to more frustration last weekend.
Fiorentina are currently languishing at the 13th spot in the Italian top flight table, having collected just seven points from six outings.
