AC Milan are losing ground on Napoli at the top of the Serie A standings. The reigning champions are now eight points shy of I Partinopei after a big setback in a goalless draw away at struggling Cremonese on Tuesday evening.
It was a very disappointing result for Stefano Pioli and his men who slipped up in two of the last three league matches.
AC Milan can thus ill afford another failure on Sunday afternoon when they host in-form Fiorentina in one of the most exciting games of Matchday No 15 in Italian top flight.
This is probably not an ideal moment to be facing I Viola who are flying high with five wins on the spin across competitions.
Vincenzo Italiano’s men took advantage of the easier schedule to record three successive league victories in the games against Spezia, Sampdoria, and Salernitana.
Italiano’s men completely controlled the mid-week’s affair against Salernitana, allowing the counterparts only four attempts in the 90 minutes of play at Stadio Artemio Franchi.

在意甲积分榜上，AC米兰正逐渐输给那不勒斯。在周二晚上客场0 - 0逼平苦苦挣扎的克雷莫尼塞之后，卫冕冠军现在距离帕特蒂诺佩仅差8分。
这对皮奥利和他的队员来说是一个非常令人失望的结果，他们在最近的三场联赛中有两场出现失误。
因此，周日下午，AC米兰将在意大利顶级联赛第15号比赛日中，主场迎战状态良好的佛罗伦萨，这将是他们最激动人心的比赛之一。
这可能不是一个理想的时刻，面对I紫百合，他们在各种比赛中取得了五场胜利。
文森佐·意大利利亚诺的球队利用了轻松的赛程，在对阵斯佩齐亚、桑普多利亚和萨勒尼塔纳的比赛中取得了联赛三连胜。
在周中对阵萨勒尼塔纳的比赛中，意大利人完全控制了局面，在阿尔特米奥弗兰基球场的90分钟比赛中只让对手有4次射门机会。
