Analysing recent form, AC Milan's win rate in the league has remained steady at 40% over their last 10 matches, yet vulnerabilities persist in both their attack and defence. Their recent performances have been somewhat underwhelming, failing to assert dominance against teams fighting relegation, such as Lazio and Sassuolo, particularly in away fixtures against Udinese and Sampdoria. While they've shown resilience at home against Roma and Inter Milan, AC Milan's overall consistency needs improvement. Verona's performances have been inconsistent, with a 50% loss rate in their last 10 games. However, they've demonstrated competitiveness against weaker opponents, especially with an active attack. They have, for example, twice narrowly defeated Atalanta and Como, displaying significant fighting spirit. However, Verona also struggles defensively, conceding many goals, especially when playing away, and are vulnerable to counter-attacks. Tactically, AC Milan excels at building attacks through ball control, leveraging their front players' speed and ability to break through defensive lines. Verona relies on rapid counter-attacks and high pressing, which often leads to structural imbalances. The midfield battle will likely be crucial in this match. Furthermore, recent data suggests a high proportion of 'over' games, implying an open style of play, which is worth watching. Both teams are currently vying for European qualification, making this match a battle not just for points, but also for psychological advantage.
