AC Milan vs Verona prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-12-27 11:30.
[p]AC Milan aim to recover from their Supercoppa Italiana disappointment and end 2025 on a high against a struggling Verona side in Serie A. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Milan’s Supercoppa Italiana semi-final defeat to Napoli may have deprived them of the chance to earn some silverware, but the Scudetto may be heading their way in May if they maintain their impressive league form. Massimiliano Allegri’s men head into the weekend second in Serie A, only one point behind arch-rivals Inter Milan, while the Rossoneri are unbeaten in 14 Italian top-flight games – their longest such run since a 22-match sequence that began in their 2021/22 Scudetto-winning campaign! Milan’s eight-match unbeaten home run should only serve to reinforce belief they can bounce back from their Supercoppa disappointment here, with their last defeat at the San Siro coming in August against Cremonese. [/p]
[p]Verona head into this weekend in 18th place, but a crucial 2-1 triumph at fellow strugglers Fiorentina last time out will give them genuine belief of moving away from trouble. That victory, along with beating Atalanta 3-1 to begin December, not only means that the Gialloblù have doubled their points tally since the start of the month, but they could also win three successive regular-season Serie A matches for the first time since October 2013! To achieve that feat though, they must earn their first pair of back-to-back away league victories since last December. [/p]
