AC Milan vs Hellas Verona | Serie A Preview & Betting Tips

AC Milan head into this one in strong shape, scoring freely and keeping things tight at the back. With the festive period in full swing, dropping points here would feel like a missed opportunity.

Verona arrive knowing the challenge ahead. They’ve shown flashes of resilience but have struggled for consistency, especially away from home.

The San Siro should be buzzing, with the home crowd expecting control, pressure and goals from the first whistle.

Milan dominate possession at 64% on average, patiently building attacks and pinning teams back. They take over 17 shots per game, a clear sign of sustained pressure.

Verona sit much deeper, averaging just 45% possession, and rely on organisation and work rate rather than sustained spells on the ball.

The gap in pass completion — 84% versus 70% — highlights the likely pattern: Milan circulating play, Verona defending in numbers.

Milan’s last ten bring seven wins and three defeats, with 24 goals scored and just 10 conceded. Clean sheets have been a regular feature.

Verona have managed two wins, three draws and five losses in the same spell, scoring nine and conceding fifteen.

Milan at home have been ruthless, averaging over two goals per game and conceding less than one.

Verona away have struggled badly, scoring infrequently and often spending long spells under pressure.

Milan consistently create higher-quality chances while Verona often allow more than they generate.

Milan have won all of the last five meetings, keeping four clean sheets in the process. Verona have found goals hard to come by in this fixture.

This feels like a control-and-convert type of game. Milan should dominate territory and chances, with Verona mainly trying to limit damage.

Prediction: AC Milan 2-0 Hellas Verona

Main pick: AC Milan to win to nil – dominant defence meets a low-scoring away side.

Value angle: Under 3.5 goals – Milan control games rather than chase big scorelines.
