AC Milan vs Verona Team News

AC Milan endured a torrid start to their league campaign, failing to string up impressive performances and results on a regular basis. With affairs gone south at San Siro, a good section of the club supporters wasted no time in calling for the manager sack.

With pressure building on head coach Stefano Pioli, the Italian gaffer was required to return to the drawing board in a bid to steady the ship at the club. Whatever changes Pioli has made to his tactics in recent weeks have been worth the while.

AC Milan seem a rejuvenated side and have notched up three consecutive Serie A wins. Their winning streak was extended to a third following a narrow victory over Brescia at the Stadio Mario Rigamonti, thanks to Ante Rebic’s second-half winner.

As a result, they moved up to eighth place on the Serie A ladder, levelled on points with two teams and eight points behind Champions League spot occupants Roma. They come into this game in high spirits, having defeated Torino 4-2 in a frantic Coppa Italia clash midweek.

Milan have logged three wins, four draws and three defeats at San Siro this season, netting a goal per game and conceding 1.20 in return. Three of their last five home games failed to produce a winner.

Hellas Verona, on the other hand, are enjoying a decent run of their own as they stretched their unbeaten run to five games after a comprehensive 3-0 victory over struggling Lecce.

Ivan Juric’s men have earned eleven points in that time and remained in ninth position with eight wins, five draws and seven losses, two points off their next opponent. The Scaligers will be looking to produce an upset at San Siro.

The visiting contingent have collected eleven points from nine games away from Marc’Antonio Bentegodi, averaging 1.11 goals per match whilst shipping 1.22 down the other end of the pitch.

Injured or Suspended Players:

AC Milan: Léo Duarte, Lucas Biglia, Davide Calabria, Ismael Bennacer.

AC Milan vs Verona Predictions

We’re in for an interesting clash between two in-form teams with AC Milan being odds-on favourite to claim the win.

The Rossoneri have improved immensely since the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the formation switch to 4-4-2, and I have to give them an edge in this one, but I reckon they won’t have an easy ride.

The visitors are a well-drilled side and I fully expect them to give enough to find the back of the net. They have scored at least one goal in each of their last eleven league matches. With a 2-1 hunch, I will pick goals on both ends and a home win.
