"AC Milan are about to reach the halfway point of their season, taking on Fiorentina away from home, and it will be a lot tougher than the league table suggests. After 18 games played, Milan are sitting in second place with 39 points, the same points tally they had in the 2021-22 (Scudetto) season after 18 games. Tomorrow, they will officially reach the halfway point with their 19th game, albeit on matchday 20 due to the Supercoppa Italiana break."
"Allegri will pretty much have a full squad for tomorrow's game, but there are some caveats to note. First of all, Fikayo Tomori will be serving a suspension due to the yellow card accumulation, which isn't ideal given his importance this season. Secondly, it was confirmed during the aforementioned presser that Luka Modric will be rested for the first time in the league this season."
"On the bright side, Christopher Nkunku is fine and has travelled with the team, which means Allegri will have four options in attack. That hasn't happened often this season and it's also something the gaffer highlighted during the presser, clearly happy about the fact. Moving on to the eleven, and starting at the back, Koni De Winter will be the one to replace the suspended Englishman. Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic will complete the defence, so there are no major surprises here."
AC Milan will reach the season’s halfway point with an away match at Fiorentina. Milan sit second after 18 games with 39 points, matching their 2021-22 tally at the same stage. The match is scheduled for Sunday, January 11 at 15:00 CET at Stadio Artemio Franchi with Davide Massa as referee (VAR: Fabio Maresca). Fiorentina are in the best form of their season, making the fixture particularly demanding. Fikayo Tomori is suspended for yellow card accumulation. Luka Modric will be rested in the league for the first time. Christopher Nkunku has travelled and provides an extra attacking option. Koni De Winter will replace Tomori, with Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic completing the backline.
