"Looking into the key battles across the park, the key to winning this game undoubtedly comes from Milan's front two, which is expected to be Christian Pulisic and Niclas Füllkrug. The American is the top scorer with eight league goals, and he had one ruled out for handball against Genoa, while the German will get his first start. With Rafael Leao waiting in the wings, the focus will be on getting quality service into Pulisic and Füllkrug, who should occupy the more tradition second striker and No.9 positions."
"Pietro Comuzzo and Martin Pongracic should be their opponents, the preferred centre-back duo for La Viola at the moment. The Italian has had an impressive rise and was linked with a big summer move, with Milan among the teams mentioned. The Croatian meanwhile has been a bedrock of Fiorentina's defence for some time now, and is an experienced campaigner who should take on the physical battle with Füllkrug."
Thursday night's 1-1 draw against Genoa intensified concern over struggles versus relegation-threatened teams and allowed Inter to open a three-point lead. Rotation is expected because this is a second game within 70 hours, with Ardon Jashari, Pervis Estupinan and Niclas Füllkrug tipped to start as workload management takes precedence. Milan's front pairing of Christian Pulisic and Niclas Füllkrug is seen as decisive, with Pulisic the club's top scorer and Füllkrug earning a first start. Service into the front two will be crucial. Fiorentina will likely field Pietro Comuzzo and Martin Pongracic, while Moise Kean faces Matteo Gabbia in a key duel.
