AC Milan vs Hellas Verona Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 23/09/2023, 09:00  by Sridhar in Serie A Prediction

Only two points separate third-placed AC Milan and ninth-placed Verona as the teams get ready for their Serie A clash this weekend. This matchday #5 fixture will be played at San Siro on Saturday with the hosts three points behind top-ranked Inter. Milan are coming off a drab goalless draw against Newcastle United at this venue that made it two consecutive games without a win. Their previous game last weekend was also at this venue, albeit as visitors to their cross-town rivals Inter. The Rossoneri were thrashed 5-1 in one of their heaviest defeats, halting a three-game winning start to the season. Thankfully for the home fans, Milan aren’t used to losing consecutive league games, with the last such instance coming in February.

Verona are making a quietly impressive start to the league campaign. They are level on points with fifth-placed Napoli ahead of this round and a win would see them leapfrog their rivals. That would need a miracle of sorts as Verona have never won at this venue against AC Milan – losing 18 and drawing 13 Serie A matches. They are also coming off a goalless draw against Bologna that followed a 3-1 defeat to Sassuolo. That shouldn’t cloud the fact that the visitors have defeated Roma 2-1 in one of the earlier matches.
