Match preview

Verona come into this game in a very difficult situation, hovering just above the relegation zone. Their recent form has been poor, with eight defeats in their last ten matches, managing to take points only against Pisa (0-0) and Bologna (2-1). They are currently on a four-game losing streak, most recently falling 1-2 away to Torino.

The problems are compounded by a lack of tactical flexibility. Coach Sammarco has largely stuck with the same lineup and approach, with little sign of improvement. Although Suslov returns from suspension, it’s unlikely to significantly change the team’s fortunes, especially with Verona still struggling badly in attack.

Milan, meanwhile, arrive under pressure of their own. Back-to-back defeats against Napoli and Udinese (0-4 on aggregate) have raised fresh doubts over Massimiliano Allegri’s future. Not long ago, the Rossoneri were among the league leaders and enjoying one of the longest unbeaten runs in Europe.

At present, Milan’s biggest issue is in the final third. Since the international break, they have gone two matches without scoring, and their attacking play has looked predictable and lacking creativity. Even against lower-ranked sides like Pisa and Cremonese, they have struggled to secure wins, often relying on late goals.

Probable lineups

Verona: Montipò, Frese, Edmundsson, Nelsson, Belgali, Oyegoke, Berned, Gagliardini, Akpa-Akpro, Orban, Bowie
