Prediction: AC Milan to win 3-0
Best Odds: 12/1
Hellas Verona and AC Milan will lock horns with each other in Serie A this weekend. The match between Marco Baroni’s side and Stefano Pioli’s team will be held at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi and is scheduled to kick off at 2 pm UK time on Sunday.
Hellas Verona
Hellas Verona are an established club in Serie A. While no one expects them to challenge for the European places in the league table, they do tend to stave off the dreaded drop to Serie B. Last season, Verona finished 17th in the Serie A table. They could fare better than that this time around.
Verona are 14th in the Serie A table at the moment with 26 points from 28 matches. Marco Baroni’s side are two points above the relegation zone. However, the likes of Cagliari, Lecce, Empoli, Frosinone, Sassuolo and Salernitana all are in in danger of going down.
I Gialloblu will head into the Serie A match against AC Milan on the back of a 1-0 victory over Lecce away from home in the league. It came after a 1-0 victory over Sassuolo which followed a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Bologna on the road in Serie A.

Tomas Suslov, Michael Folorunsho and Darko Lazovic will be the three attacking midfielders. Tijjani Noslin will lead the line for the home team.
AC Milan
AC Milan are one of the biggest and most historic clubs in the world. They are used to challenging for the Serie A title and playing in major competitions such as the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. The Italian giants will be disappointed by how the current season has panned out for them.
Milan are second in the Serie A table at the moment with 59 points from 28 matches. Stefano Pioli’s side are 16 points behind leaders and city rivals Inter Milan and are a point above Juventus. Milan are not going to win the Serie A title this season.
