AC Milan, on the quick backup after a 0-0 draw away at Bologna midweek, will look to build on their handy home record (W5, D2, L1) as they host Fiorentina. In fact Milan are nine points behind where they were at this stage during their 2010/11 title-winning campaign.
The hosts will look to be more switched on after the break, as they remain one of 11 SA clubs without a positive second-half goal difference (GD) at home.In their favour, is that Fiorentina are one of just four teams yet to find victory on the road this season, though they haven’t been far off (D5, L3). Just one away clean sheet to their name however, is a stat the visitors will be keen to correct.

Once holders of the equal worst 76th-90th minute GD for away games, Fiorentina have begun to turn that trend around after nabbing two last minute goals in their previous away trip – a 3-3 draw at Sassuolo.
Milan are unbeaten in the last five top-flight H2Hs (W3, D2), with both teams scoring in the last three. The hosts are also unbeaten in the last four SA encounters at home (W3, D1).
