AC Milan have the Serie A title in their hands with three matches left to play. The Rossoneri’s lead at the top of the Serie A standings is slender, however.
Inter Milan are just two points behind the Rossoneri with three massive matches left to play this season. Up next for AC Milan are Hellas Verona. The Gialloblu could rock AC Milan on Sunday night and throw the title race wide open.
Hellas Verona have been a solid midtable team all season long and AC Milan cannot overlook the home side. Inter Milan play on Friday night versus Empoli. By the time AC Milan kick off in Verona, they are likely to be one point behind the Nerazzurri in the standings.
Stefano Pioli’s Milan are on a three-match winning streak in Serie A ahead of the weekend. They took 14 points from the last 18 points on offer in the division. The goals have dried up somewhat for the Rossoneri with just six being scored across the last six games.
AC Milan’s defence was stellar across the last six matches with a mere one goal conceded. Hellas Verona will need to break down that defence to have any hope of winning on Sunday. The Gialloblu picked up 11 points from the last 18 points available to them.
Hellas Verona scored seven goals and conceded six times in their last six games. Like Milan, goals have not come fluidly for Hellas Verona in recent matches.
In the reverse fixture between these clubs, Milan won 3-2 at San Siro. Verona scored first through Gianluca Caprari in the seventh minute. Antonin Barak doubled the lead on 24 minutes from the penalty spot.
AC Milan overcame a dreadful first half with three goals in the second period to win. Olivier Giroud scored just before the hour-mark and Franck Kessie added a penalty on 76 minutes. A Koray Guenter own goal gave Milan the win.
The Rossoneri have a strong head-to-head record against Hellas Verona in all competitions. They have a record of 5W-3D-2L in the teams’ last 10 matches. AC Milan are on a two-match winning streak against Hellas Verona.
Pioli has no fresh injuries heading into the fixture. Meanwhile, Verona defender Diego Coppola is a doubt to make the squad. Goalkeeper Ivor Pandur is also a doubt to play due to injury.
AC Milan are on a two-match winning streak against Hellas Verona. The Rossoneri should make it a third straight win versus Verona with a 2-0 victory at full-time.
