Milan take on the visitors Verona in the round 5 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, September 23rd at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan).
Unfortunately, no matter how hard the "Rossoneri" footballers tried to redeem themselves after their humiliating defeat in the Milan derby, they couldn't catch up to Newcastle in the Champions League match. Although Stefano Pioli's team played much better than the English side. Therefore, AC Milan is eager for a victory in the upcoming domestic league match. You can play well, but victories are what truly boost confidence and fighting spirit. I have no doubt that AC Milan will win against Verona. Before the defeat to Inter in Serie A, Milan had won three consecutive matches. While they only managed a 2-1 victory against Roma in Rome, they convincingly defeated Torino (4-1) and Bologna (2-0).

After two consecutive wins at the start of the season, many started to overestimate Verona. Even on this website, there were overly positive reviews of the "yellow and blue," which predictably turned out to be premature. In their latest away Serie A match, the "mastiffs" lost to Sassuolo by a margin of two goals (1-3). Then, in a home match, they only secured a goalless draw against Bologna, even though in terms of xG, their opponent was stronger. Recall that at the end of last season, Verona was on the brink of relegation to Serie B and only remained in the elite league due to a strange new rule involving a playoff match. In the current championship, in my opinion, the "yellow and black" will also only be fighting for survival. A contender for the championship title at home should confidently defeat such an opponent.
Milan are the clear favorite in the match and must, based on their class, take three points at "San Siro" against a team like Verona. Before their setback in the derby against Inter, the "red and black" had secured three victories in Serie A, and they looked formidable in their Champions League match against Newcastle. Verona, compared to such an opponent, is a clear underdog. Moreover, in their head-to-head meetings, the "mastiffs" have consistently lost to Milan in their last five encounters. The odds for a favorite's victory are too low, so I suggest placing a handicap bet on "Diavolo" (-1). This bet has been successful in two out of their last three meetings. This includes their recent match on "San Siro" (3-1). Risk-takers might even consider going for a (-1.5) handicap for the hosts.
Prediction for the match: Milan to win with -1.5 handicap.
