However, an underwhelming recent run of league form has seen them fall six points behind second-place Juventus and eight points behind leaders and arch-rivals Inter.
Stefano Pioli’s team heads into this clash on the back of a four-game winless run in Serie A.
Their recent league games have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last six outings.
Milan have suffered back-to-back home defeats in Serie A against Juventus and Udinese.
However, they had won their previous six league games on home soil in the Italian top-flight.
The Viola are currently in sixth place in the table, a point outside the Champions League spots.
Despite their relatively lofty position in the table, Vincenzo Italiano’s team ended a three-game losing streak in Serie A last time out with a 2-1 home win over Bologna.
The game ended a run of low-scoring games, as their previous three matches had all produced under 2.5 goals.
Fiorentina has a mixed recent away record in Serie A. However, a 1-0 defeat at Lazio last time out ended a three-game unbeaten away run in the Italian top-flight.
The game against Lazio was another low-scoring one for the Viola, as three of their previous four league games on the road have produced under 2.5 goals.
Forebet predicts that Milan will return to winning ways in Serie A by recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
