The final matchday of Serie A, with AC Milan hosting Hellas Verona at San Siro, promises to be an exciting, high-stakes contest. As Verona battles to evade the relegation zone, Milan aims to cement their place in the league. With survival, honor, and bragging rights on the line, we should not get bored with this Sunday clash.
Serie A Finale
AC Milan are coming off a triumphant return to the Champions League, bolstered by their recent victory over Juventus. Spearheading their success, Olivier Giroud, Milan’s evergreen centre-forward, has been instrumental in their league-winning performances. With his decisive goal in Turin, Milan clinched their spot in Serie A’s top four.

Milan’s overall season performance, despite being lacklustre by their standards, is enough to qualify for the Champions League. Even though they amassed only 67 points, Stefano Pioli’s team demonstrated resilience, particularly on home turf, bagging 40 points at the San Siro. A win over Verona would further extend their home-dominance, marking the highest difference between home and away points earned throughout Serie A.
Their home strength, coupled with Juventus’ penalty points, undoubtedly eased Milan’s path. However, their squad’s thinness, a result of recruitment errors, was exposed multiple times throughout the season. With whispers of a summer overhaul under Pioli, the team is poised to end the season on a high note in front of their own fans at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
Verona, on the other hand, are on the cusp of relegation. Their performance in the final match might determine their fate. With the burden of a dismal record at San Siro and a desperate need to equal or better Spezia’s result to avoid automatic relegation, Verona faces a Herculean task.
AC Milan’s Prospects
Milan’s previous encounters with Verona show a clear dominance, having won the last four league matches. They even scored a crucial 3-1 victory last year, which contributed to their title triumph. The goal now is to replicate that success and post a fifth consecutive win over Verona in Serie A, which could plunge their visitors into the abyss of relegation.
Giroud, the talismanic forward, is expected to start upfront, having scored 12 league goals, his highest since 2016-17. Milan’s attack, averaging 1.6 goals per game and showing proficiency in creating big chances per game, coupled with Verona’s leaky defence, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game, tilts the scale in favour of Milan.
Hellas Verona’s Struggles
Verona’s last home fixture epitomises their season. A last-gasp own goal cancelled their lead against Empoli, making them drop an astonishing 27 points from winning positions. Verona’s struggle to find the back of the net has been evident throughout the season. With only 30 goals, they are just ahead of the bottom club, Sampdoria.
On the defensive front, Verona’s track record isn’t inspiring either. Their record of losing leading positions and conceding 56 goals doesn’t bode well against Milan’s potent attacking prowess.
Final Predictions
Even though Verona’s struggles are quite profound, their desperation to avoid relegation might see them score a goal. However, Milan’s superior quality is likely to prevail, leading us to a predicted scoreline of 3-1 in favour of AC Milan. This prediction mirrors last year’s crucial win, reinforcing the possibility of history repeating itself.
