Verona vs AC Milan Prediction 20.12.2024 | Serie A

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: 20.12.2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi (Verona)

The 17th round of Serie A will kick off this weekend.

At the moment, Verona holds the 17th position in the standings with 15 points, just one more than the first team in the relegation zone. Last week, they finally broke a frustrating streak of four consecutive losses by securing an important away victory against Parma, with a scoreline of 3-2. That match was marked by numerous thrilling moments, shots, and spectacular plays, and the visitors deservedly claimed all three points. Verona faces a challenging schedule in the next five rounds, making every point crucial in their fight for survival.

On the other hand, Milan has little reason to be satisfied with their league performance this season. Currently sitting in 8th place, they trail league leaders Atalanta by a staggering 14 points. This has increased doubts about Paulo Fonseca's ability, as his position as head coach hangs by a thread. Last week, Milan delivered another disappointing performance for their fans, failing to defeat a modest Genoa side at home. Despite 22 attempts on goal throughout the match, not a single shot found the back of Genoa's net.

Verona vs Milan pick: MILAN TO WIN

It is very challenging to predict Milan's matches this season, but we believe they will bounce back and embark on a streak of positive results. They occasionally shine over a series of matches, but just as often appear lackluster in attack, failing to break down opposing defenses. This could change in this match, as they will face by far the weakest defense in the league, which has conceded an alarming 15 goals in its last five games. This is an opportunity for Milan's players to fine-tune their shooting accuracy and potentially deliver a convincing performance.
