AC Milan preview: Impressive under Allegri
Under the management of Massimiliano Allegri, AC Milan come into this one on the back of a very strong start to the season in Serie A, albeit they did lose to Napoli in the semi-finals of the Supercoppa Italiana last weekend.
Milan have treaded water in Italy for a while now but the Rossoneri have managed to start winning again with just one defeat in 15 matches so far this season as they sit a point behind league leaders and arch-rivals Internazionale at the top-of-the-table.
Hellas Verona preview: Struggling Verona
Hellas Verona begin the 16th match day of the 2025/26 Serie A season sitting in the bottom three and the relegation places with just two victories so far and pressure growing even further on former Empoli boss Paolo Zanetti.
Verona come into this one on the back of a shock 2-1 victory at the Artemio Franchi against Fiorentina a couple of weeks ago, with Gift Orban scoring a brace, including a winning goal scored in second-half stoppage-time.

AC Milan vs Hellas Verona prediction
AC Milan come into this one with a very defensive style of football. They have suffered just one defeat so far with a typical Allegri-led approach that is all about safety first and winning being the only thing that matters. They face a Verona side that are one of the weakest in Serie A and have been circling the drain around relegation for a while now. Milan should win but it is unlikely to be too much of a thriller for the neutral.
