AC Milan vs Verona Betting Tips

Their last two Serie A games have been a pretty good reflection of AC Milan’s season. They looked like the rejuvenated team that might be ready to compete with Italy’s biggest clubs again when they picked Sampdoria apart and dominated from start to finish beating Sampdoria 4-1 on November 28. Then last weekend they were stifled and thwarted in a 0-0 draw with relegation battling Carpi.

It’s tough to know exactly which Milan will show up on Sunday. They’ll certainly be happy to be back playing at the San Siro, but winning games like this weekend’s clash with Verona are pretty close to the project and the work to re-build AC Milan.

The season is already slipping away from Verona. They are win-less in 15 league games, they have six draws, but you don’t need to look much further than the fact that they have scored just 10 times this season to find the reasons for their struggles.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Milan do get the win

Important to make clear that while the odds are far too low to make it work betting on them, we do think that AC Milan will bounce back this weekend and pick up three points. We’re expecting a tight and defensive-minded game of football and so we’ll take a game where a solitary goal separates the two sides.

2. Verona to scrap

One thing appeared obvious in Luigi Del Neri’s first games in charge. He’s still focused on tightening this team up at the back, the playing style isn’t changing much. Verona will play this game with plenty of energy as they look to impress their new manager and we’ll back them to keep it tight, low-scoring and interesting for 90 minutes.

3. Best odds

The handicap lines are coming in at 1.0 and 1.5, which is tough in a game like this. Our gut instinct is that this match will be on the low-scoring side of the equation and we’re getting the Under 2.5 option at even odds.
