Hellas Verona preview: Average Verona
Hellas Verona begin this weekend's round of fixtures sitting nine points adrift of safety in Serie A, with the hosts having been circling the drain towards relegation throughout the last couple of seasons.
Verona most recently succumbed to a 2-1 defeat to Torino at Stadio Grande Torino in their most recent outing last weekend, extending their current losing streak to four matches and they are relegation-bound.
AC Milan preview: Faltering Rossoneri
They now face an AC Milan side that had been very difficult to beat for large parts but they are being dragged into a battle to finish inside the top four and earn themselves UEFA Champions League qualification.
The Rossoneri head into this one on the back of a 3-0 hammering at the hands of Udinese at San Siro last weekend due to a Davide Bartesaghi own goal as well as strikes from Jurgen Ekkelenkamp and Arthur Atta.
Hellas Verona team news: Nothing fresh
There are no fresh injury concerns or suspension issues for Verona to deal with as former Southampton defender Armel Bella-Kotchap potentially sidelined alongside midfielder Sandi Lovric.
Predicted XI (3-5-2): Montipo; Edmundsson, Nelsson, Frese; Oyegoke, Akpa-Akpro, Bernede, Belghali; Bowie, Harroui
Unavailable: Serdar (Injured)

AC Milan team news: Fully fit
AC Milan head to the Beneto with a fully fit and available squad. They will therefore be able to name an unchanged eleven with no injury concerns or suspension issues.

Hellas Verona vs AC Milan prediction
Massimiliano Allegri's Milan had been Internazionale's closest challengers for much of this campaign but the visitors have now suffered three defeats in their last four matches in Serie A. With home advantage, Verona will be expected to be difficult to play against for a Milan side almost in disarray but even the fairly frustrating visitors should grind out another victory in the Beneto on Sunday afternoon.
