Verona vs AC Milan Predictions

Rossoneri to grab the win

Milan have dominated this fixture, winning the last ten Serie A head-to-heads against Verona, and they should be backed to continue their success when they visit Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi on Sunday.

They beat Verona 3-0 in their last Serie A meeting in December, restricting them to just one shot on target. Milan, who committed five fouls in the game – their fewest in any league game this season – have scored in the second half in nine of the last ten meetings with Verona.

Paolo Sammarco is now in charge of Verona, having taken over from Paolo Zanetti. However, he has failed to turn things round so far in his nine games in charge, with the team averaging just 0.44 points per game under their current manager.

Verona lost 2-1 to Torino last weekend in their last Serie A outing and could not break their losing run. Kieron Bowie notched for Verona, who were priced as 16/5 outsiders to win the game, but have now lost 18 of the 23 games this season in which they’ve shipped the first goal (78%).

Milan are third in Serie A, 16 places and 45 points above Verona, who are 19th with just three wins from their 32 games this season.

The hosts have found it hard to keep things tight defensively this season, conceding 24 goals at home in Serie A – an average of 1.60 goals per game from their 15 matches. Verona have failed to keep a clean sheet in 18 of their last 20 games.

Verona are out of form, and backing their opponents during their current run of nine defeats in 11 Serie A games would have resulted in a profit of 7.01 units.

The hosts’ struggles in front of goal are a major concern. Verona have failed to find the net in three of their last four home league games, and have lost three of their last four Serie A matches without scoring.

The hosts’ recent home form has been disappointing, with nine defeats in Verona’s last 11 Serie A matches. They have gone eight games without a win at home in the league and are on a run of four successive reverses.

Milan to get a 1-0 away win looks a decent correct-score bet. Three of the last five Serie A games between Verona and Milan have produced under 2.5 goals, and Milan have won two of the last three encounters by a single goal.
