"As Calciomercato.com report, the defeats that Napoli and Roma suffered on Saturday night have given Milan a great opportunity: three points against Stefano Pioli's Fiorentina will see them return to the summit in the standings. A goal by Giovanni Simeone was fatal for Antonio Conte's side, while for Gian Piero Gasperini's Giallorossi it was Ange-Yoan Bonny's goal that gave Inter the win, and also took them above their city rivals, hopefully temporarily."
"Meanwhile, in his pre-match press conference, Allegri warned his team of the difficulty of the match: "Games after the break are always an unknown quantity. A new cycle begins, this is an important month. We'll need to be good at playing carefully. Regardless of the league table, Fiorentina have excellent players. It will be an opportunity to consolidate our position in the table.""
AC Milan can move to the top of the Serie A table with a win over Fiorentina despite an ongoing injury crisis. Recent defeats for Napoli and Roma created a clear opening that three points would exploit. Milan sit fourth on 13 points; a victory would leapfrog Inter, Roma and Napoli after eight rounds. The return of Stefano Pioli to San Siro adds a unique subplot, and Fiorentina remain winless in the league so far. The run of fixtures including Pisa, Atalanta, Roma and Parma before the break makes this an important month for Milan's campaign. The team last occupied the summit in spring 2022.
