In this article, you’ll discover Serie A Predictions from XpertStats tipsters.
- AC Milan enters the match in 2nd place, trailing leaders Inter Milan by only one point.
- Hellas Verona currently sits 18th in the standings, having earned 12 points from 15 games.
- The hosts have avoided defeat in 14 consecutive Serie A matches since their opening day loss.
- Verona has secured two back to back wins recently against Fiorentina and Atalanta to boost morale.
- Massimiliano Allegri is dealing with a significant injury list, including star man Rafael Leao being out.
- Historically, Milan dominates this fixture, boasting a nine match winning streak against the visiting Gialloblu side.
Massimiliano Allegri has a bit of a headache with his squad selection this Sunday. Losing Rafael Leao to a persistent groin injury is a massive blow, especially since he creates so much space for others. Still, with Christian Pulisic leading the line with seven goals and two assists, Milan has plenty of firepower to hurt teams. The defense will likely see Koni De Winter filling in for the injured Matteo Gabbia, while Luka Modric is expected to return to the starting XI to provide that veteran composure. It is a bit of a makeshift look in some areas, but the quality gap remains wide. Can they keep their focus? It is hard to say how the recent Supercoppa loss to Napoli will affect their confidence, but playing at home usually cures most ills for this group.
AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri confirmed Rafael Leão will miss the upcoming Serie A clash against Verona due to injury. With Leão sidelined, Christopher Nkunku is expected to step up, as Allegri remains confident in the Frenchman's technical abilities. While Fofana and Loftus-Cheek are ready to anchor the midfield, Füllkrug continues working toward full fitness. The Rossoneri aim for a crucial victory at San Siro to strengthen their Champions League push.

AC Milan enters this clash as heavy favorites for several statistical and historical reasons. Despite their recent Supercoppa disappointment, the Rossoneri have been dominant at San Siro, securing six wins in their last eight home outings. They currently trail Inter by just one point, providing immense motivation to secure a victory and potentially move into first place. Historically, Milan has won the last nine consecutive meetings against Verona, showing a clear psychological edge. Even with Rafael Leao sidelined, the presence of Christian Pulisic, who has seven league goals, ensures a potent attack. Verona, while resurgent with two recent wins, remains in the relegation zone and has won only once away from home all season. The sheer depth of the Milan squad, combined with their 14 match unbeaten streak in Serie A, makes a home win the most probable outcome for this Sunday encounter.
Statistically, this matchup is primed for goals. The overall average of goals scored between these two sides stands at 2.38 per match, comfortably cleared the 1.5 threshold. Verona’s defensive record on the road is particularly leaky, conceding nearly two goals per game, while their own attack has seen an uptick in form with Gift Orban scoring four goals recently. On the other hand, Milan’s home matches frequently see action at both ends, with a 63% BTTS rate. This suggests that even if Milan dominates, Verona has a high chance of contributing to the scoreline. Given that three of the last four meetings have produced multiple goals and both teams are currently in situations where they must attack for points, the Over 1.5 Goals market offers excellent value. It aligns perfectly with the 69% season average for this specific statistical occurrence.
