AC Milan have moved to second in the table, and while the league title is too far away, they would love to finish second. They play in the second game on Sunday of five taking place, and it's an away trip to Verona, a side in the relegation zone, but one that are working hard to get away from danger.
Verona Form GuideJust when they needed some points, Verona have been putting them on the board. Two wins from their last two games, they are now up in 14th, and two points clear of the relegation zone. It's still incredibly tight, and they need more, but the signs over the past couple of weeks have been excellent.
Last weekend, they won 1-0 away from home against fellow relegation side Lecce, while before that, they won 1-0 at home to Sassuolo, another side in trouble. These were big games, and Verona came to life, grinding out crucial points, at a time when they needed them the most.
AC Milan Form GuideAC Milan have been pushing hard for quite a while, and with the demise of Juventus, they've got rewarded with a move up to second place. Juventus play before them here, so they may be back in third when this game is played, depending on that result, but if AC Milan focus on themselves, they'll keep going in the right direction.
In the league, AC Milan have won their last two games, 1-1 at home to Empoli and 1-0 away to Lazio. They've also played in Europe twice during that period, winning both against Slavia Praha, 4-2 at home in the first leg and 3-1 away from home in the second leg.
Match PredictionVerona have been going along well recently, but I think they will slip up here. AC Milan have been playing well, winning their last four in all competitions and they've got something to fight for now, 2nd place. I will take AC Milan to win the game, getting another big three points.
