Milan vs. Fiorentina preview: Team news, prediction, date, and how to watch Serie A on DAZN

Serie A returns after a fortnight's rest following the October international break, with the season still only six rounds old and the table still taking shape. 

DAZN is showing 380 live games across the 2025-26 season, and matchday seven sees Milan try to continue their good run of form as they host winless Fiorentina.

The Rossoneri come back from the break, just a point off the top of the league and having not lost since the opening day of the season. And, in Luka Modric and Christian Pulisic, they have two of the league's best players so far in 2025-26. 

Their displays have got fans hoping that the club can mount a real title challenge this year, and they can continue that momentum on Sunday when they host Fiorentina at the San Siro. 

Things have gone in the opposite direction for their opponents, with Fiorentina still looking for their first win of the campaign and having only found the target four times.
