Will the underdog stand up to the favorites?
An uneven duel is coming up at San Siro at the end of the year in Serie A. The hosts from Milan are in second place, while the visitors from Veneto are in third-last place. Read the following preview of the match to find out why we don’t expect it to be a walk in the park for the home team – including an AC Milan vs. Hellas Verona tip!
Even though the table clearly favors AC, both sides are in similar form. Hellas won their last two league games against Bergamo and Fiorentina, scoring a whopping five goals.
Admittedly, the task against the top team from Milan is now noticeably more difficult, but the two wins have clearly improved the situation in the relegation battle and the legs of last season’s 14th-placed team should be a little freer again. Against this backdrop, the AC Milan vs. Hellas Verona prediction of an away win or a defeat for the visitors by a maximum of one goal is worth recommending.
In addition, given the offensive upswing on the part of the yellow-blues, we expect a goal on both sides. The prediction is also based on the recent weaker defense of “Il Diavolo,” which has conceded just as many goals in its last five league games on home turf.
AC Milan – Hellas Verona Head-to-head record / H2H record
From a statistical point of view, Milan is looking forward to facing the “Mastini.” The home team has not lost to Verona in 13 matches and has only failed to win two of those encounters. The visitors’ last victory in this fixture dates back to December 2017, more than eight years ago.
For the upcoming match at AC Milan’s “Scala del calcio” against Hellas Verona, the odds are once again pointing very clearly towards a win for the home side.
AC Milan – Hellas Verona Tip
On paper, the match between AC Milan and coach Paolo Zanetti’s visiting team is a clear-cut affair. The hosts are second in the table, while the Gialloblù are fighting against relegation. However, Verona have been improving recently and can play without pressure against the top team from Milan, as they don’t have much to lose in this situation.
Furthermore, the home team’s home form has declined recently. Two of their last four home games ended in draws, against clearly beatable opponents in Pisa and Sassuolo. In addition, the other two wins in this period were narrow 1-0 victories against the two clubs from Rome, AS and Lazio.
Furthermore, Rafael Leao’s participation is questionable due to injury. This means that the home side may be missing one of their top offensive players, who has scored the second-most goals in the league for the hosts this season after American Christian Pulisic.
In view of this, the AC Milan vs. Hellas Verona betting odds for an away win, including a handicap of plus 1.5 goals for the visitors, are worth considering. The prediction is supported by statistics: the Rossoneri have won only one of their last six home games against Verona by more than one goal.
