Hellas Verona vs AC Milan Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Eight points separate the two sides on the points table.
Hellas Verona will host AC Milan on Matchday 17 of Serie A. The Mastiffs are placed 17th in the Italian league table with just 15 points from their opening 16 matches. Their win/loss record this season is very alarming as they have 11 losses and five wins to their name. Verona are just a point above the relegation zone and desperately need to get some wins in the ongoing league campaign.
AC Milan, on the other hand, are also having a mediocre season so far. I Rossoneri find themselves in the eighth spot in Serie A. With six wins, five draws, and four losses, they are currently on 23 points.
They need to catch up to Fiorentina in order to qualify for the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League season. Their defensive frailty is a major reason behind their lacklustre start to the season. In 15 matches, the team has conceded 16 goals.
Both teams will be motivated to clinch a victory to fulfil their strictly opposite objectives. Their encounter will be unmissable for fans and neutrals alike.

Players to watch out for:
Casper Tengstedt (Hellas Verona)
The Danish forward is Hellas Verona’s top goalscorer in the ongoing Serie A campaign. He is outperforming his xG (expected goals) by two goals. He is a lethal finisher who can punish his opponents from anywhere in and around the box. Casper will be expected to be at his clinical best.
Rafael Leão (AC Milan)
The Portuguese winger is one of the best players in the world in his position. His electric pace and technical ability on the ball are frightening for his opponents. He has registered three goals and four assists in Serie A this season. He is the most interesting player to watch across both teams.
