Prediction published on 17/03/2024, 01:06  by Sridhar in Serie A Predictions

Verona’s push to stay away from the relegation battle will see them come up against old nemesis AC Milan. Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi in Verona will host this Serie A match on Sunday. Ahead of this round, Verona are 14th in the standings with 26 points, while the visitors are second with 59 points. Only two points separate Verona from the bottom three ahead of this round, in a tight bottom half. Teams from 14th, which is Verona’s current position, to 19th are separated by just three points, and the table could change a lot on this matchday. Verona have given themselves a good chance, winning their last two league games by a 1-0 scoreline against Sassuolo and Lecce. They haven’t won three Serie A matches in a row since October 2013, so the challenge to maintain that winning momentum is huge. Additionally, they have lost their last six league matches against Milan and are likely to feel the pressure of the occasion.

Milan jumped to second place after winning their last two league games by 1-0 scores against Lazio and Empoli. They followed it up with a 3-1 win over Slavia Prague in the Europa League on Thursday, making it a fourth competitive win in a row. Interestingly, Milan hasn’t won five competitive matches in a row in the same season since May 2022. That should be enough incentive to go for a win here, as the Rossoneri look to cement their second place in the standings. Juventus are third and behind them by a single point, so Milan would be careful of losing their momentum and the second spot. Recent away form suggests the visitors will fancy their chances of winning full points here, as Milan have won four of their last five away league matches.
