Fiorentina vs Milan Prediction 11 January 2026

🟣 Fiorentina wrapped up the first half of the season second from bottom, amassing a mere 13 points. Such a scenario would have seemed unimaginable in the summer, but reality has proven harsh. The "Viola" appeared lost for a significant stretch, only managing to slightly turn things around in the last four matches with two wins, one draw, and one loss, which helped narrow the gap with their rivals.

⚪ In their last outing, Fiorentina traveled to Rome and drew with Lazio (2-2), leaving a mixed impression. On one hand, they squandered a victory by conceding a penalty in the 90+5th minute. On the other, their first-half performance was dismal: they failed to register a single shot on goal while the "Eagles" fired ten, suggesting a heavy defeat was more likely than even a draw. It was only after conceding in the 52nd minute that Fiorentina came to life, significantly improving their play and deservedly scoring twice, though it wasn't enough to clinch the win.

🔴 AC Milan wrapped up the first half of the season sitting second in the standings, just three points adrift of leaders Inter. This is a commendable outcome, especially considering last season's struggles. However, the results could have been even better- the Rossoneri often made life difficult for themselves by dropping points in matches where they should have secured maximum points. They managed to lose to all the newly promoted sides and stumbled several times against clubs fighting relegation.

⚫ In their last outing, Milan were held to a 1-1 draw at home against Genoa, highlighting their ongoing issues. Despite dominating the game, controlling the tempo, and creating enough chances to win, their finishing let them down. Moreover, from the 28th minute until the 90+2 mark, Milan found themselves trailing. Considering Genoa missed a penalty in the 90+9th minute, the hosts should perhaps be content with the point rather than disappointed.
