AC Milan vs Hellas Verona – AC Milan to Win & Both Teams to Score

AC Milan to Win & Both Teams to Score | |
15/8 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning AC Milan seek Serie A recovery after a Feyenoord defeat. Defensive issues persist, but Verona’s struggles make Milan favourites. Expect a high-scoring game, with Milan’s attack likely securing victory. | |
Rationale:
AC Milan return to league action on Saturday, eager to recover from a disappointing midweek Champions League defeat to Feyenoord. The Rossoneri’s European ambitions took a hit with that 1-0 loss, but they must now refocus on their push for a top-four finish in Serie A. Sitting seventh and trailing the Champions League spots by seven points, every match from here on is critical for Stefano Pioli’s men.
Milan’s home form has been solid in terms of results, but their defensive displays have been concerning. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last four home league games, and defensive injuries, coupled with Fikayo Tomori’s suspension, make them even more susceptible at the back.
Verona, meanwhile, are fighting for survival, sitting precariously above the relegation zone. Their defensive record is one of the worst in Europe’s top leagues, with 53 goals conceded this season. Their recent 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Atalanta exposed their backline once again, but they have been more competitive on their travels, finding the net in four of their last five away matches.
Despite Milan’s defensive concerns, their attacking prowess should be enough to see them through. Santiago Giménez has made an immediate impact since arriving from Feyenoord, while Christian Pulisic and Tijjani Reijnders provide creativity in midfield. Given Milan’s defensive lapses and Verona’s vulnerability at the back, a high-scoring match seems likely, with Milan ultimately proving too strong.
