Having watched on as defending champions Inter fought back from two goals down to beat Empoli, Milan are now intent on regaining the initiative by winning their penultimate away game of an eventful campaign.
With a 19th national title theirs to lose with just three games left to play, the Rossoneri have not been crowned champions for 11 years, so the pressure on a relatively young squad’s shoulders is intense.Another win on Sunday would effectively see Milan three points to the good, due to a superior head-to-head league record against their Nerazzurro rivals, who knocked them out of the Coppa Italia in last month’s semi-finals.
Maignan; Calabria, Kalulu, Tomori, Hernandez; Tonali, Bennacer; Messias, Kessie, Leao; Giroud
Having lost their last two home games against Milan, Verona also squandered a two-goal lead in October’s reverse fixture – losing 3-2 at San Siro – so their recent record in this fixture is far from positive. Nonetheless, the Scaligeri will again aim to win successive Serie A matches for the first time since January this weekend, following last week’s defeat of Cagliari; they have yet to repeat the same result in the past 13 league games, making them Calcio’s kings of inconsistency.
The three points earned by first-half goals from productive pair Antonin Barak and Gianluca Caprari keeps the Veneto outfit safely inside the top half of the table by a margin of six from Sassuolo, who occupy 11th, so Igor Tudor’s first season in charge is set to conclude with his primary objective met. Having taken the reins early in the season with Hellas in a state of disarray, Tudor’s well-drilled side have now suffered just two losses from their last 10 Serie A fixtures – both of which were against teams then in contention for the title – and should surpass last year’s finish of 10th.
Montipo; Ceccherini, Gunter, Casale; Faraoni, Ilic, Tameze, Lazovic; Barak, Caprari; Simeone
With such a reliable front three, Verona should be fancied to break down even Milan’s steadfast back four at some stage, but that may not prove enough to taste victory at the final whistle, given their visitors have lost only a single Serie A away game.
The Rossoneri have not been prolific of late, but having Ibrahimovic back on the bench offers an invaluable option to mix things up if the game remains deadlocked in the tense final stages. Verona are on a good run right now but Milan are fighting for the title and cannot afford to slip up at this stage. Barring an implosion, we expect the Rossoneri to come away with all three points.
Hellas Verona 1-2 AC Milan, predicted by us.
