AC Milan vs Hellas Verona prediction: Rossoneri to edge past struggling Gialloblu
Key stats
- Milan are unbeaten in 14 straight Serie A outings.
- The Rossoneri are winless in back-to-back competitive games (D1, L1).
- Verona are on a two-match winning streak in the Italian top-flight.
- The Gialloblu are without a clean sheet in four successive matches.
Correct score prediction: AC Milan 2-1 Hellas Verona
Since tasting an opening-day defeat at the hands of Cremonese, AC Milan have undoubtedly been the best performing side in Serie A despite their second rank, going unbeaten in 14 consecutive matches. However, they have failed to churn out results across their last two competitive fixtures, most recently losing 2-0 to Napoli in the Italian Super Cup semi-final.
In stark contrast, Hellas Verona are two points from safety at the bottom of the table, although their success against Atalanta ended a 13-match winless streak in Serie A, before they earned back-to-back wins against Fiorentina.
Verona might be in the best form of their season so far, but Milan’s firepower should prove enough to edge past the visitors at San Siro.

Player to Watch: Christian Pulisic
Pulisic has been a gamechanger for the Rossoneri, registering seven goals and two assists in Serie A this term. The USMNT international has fired blanks in back-to-back outings since netting a machining brace in a 3-2 win over Torino. Hellas Verona would be the perfect opponents for him to end this year on a high note.
