The defeat against Juventus looks to have done more good than bad to AC Milan as the Rossonerri are now sporting an unbeaten run of four matches. As Milan get ready to host Fiorentina this Sunday, the bookmakers are backing the hosts to earn a third consecutive win.
The Rossonerri are just five points behind Juventus and one point of the last Champions League place. Their best player at the moment is without any doubt Honda, and chances are Pippo Inzaghi will build his starting eleven around him. This role was tipped to go to Fernando Torres at the beginning of the season, but so far he has done little to impress the supporters. While Muntari said the Spaniard is an important piece to their puzzle, the press did not fail to notice the diplomacy and not honesty in his answer. Montolivo is the only absence from the team, and with Diego Lopez finally back from his injury, expect Milan to start with a new goalkeeper.
Fiorentina are a rather unlucky team and not only this term. The Viola come from a 0-2 defeat to Lazio and are on the 11th place in the table. In Europa League they managed to win against PAOK, which was their third straight one in the group, and are leading now the group with an iron fist. Fiorentina will miss the eternally injured Mario Gomez and Giuseppe Rossi. Considering the potential both players have it is understandable why Montella misses their contribution to the team. Nigel De Jong returns from suspension and Bet365 gives him 12.00 odds to score anytime.
AC Milan is the overall favorite of this match with 2.05 odds with Bet365, and Fiorentina to upset the Rossonerri has 3.60 odds. AC Milan to win to nil has 3.40 odds, Fiorentina for the same market 6.50 and the hosts to win either half 1.53 odds. Pazzini to score anytime 2.40 odds, El Shaarawy has 2.62 odds and Honda 3.50. We’re betting 8 units on AC Milan to score in both halves at 3.25 with the same bookie.
