AC Milan Gears Up for Key Clash Against Verona
AC Milan is set to take on Hellas Verona at the iconic San Siro stadium this Sunday, with both teams gearing up for an important Serie A showdown. The match will be a pivotal one for the Rossoneri, who are currently in second place in the league, just a point behind Inter Milan. A win would put them in the driver's seat to temporarily claim the top spot.
Milan, however, has faced some recent challenges. Although they have won four of their last six matches, a few setbacks—including two frustrating draws against Sassuolo and Parma—have slowed their momentum. In their most recent outing, they were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw against Sassuolo, a match where Milan squandered a 2-1 lead. Despite these stumbles, Milan has remained unbeaten in the league since their shock opening-day loss.

Massimiliano Allegri, Milan's head coach, faces a few key absences heading into this clash. Rafael Leão, one of the team's star attackers, will miss the game due to a lingering thigh injury. This injury has been a persistent problem for the Portuguese winger, forcing the team to manage his minutes carefully. In addition, Matteo Gabbia is sidelined with a knee injury sustained during the draw with Sassuolo, leaving a gap in Milan's defensive lineup. As a result, Koni De Winter is expected to start alongside Fikayo Tomori and Strahinja Pavlovic in the backline.
Up front, Milan will rely on Christopher Nkunku and Christian Pulisic to lead the attack in Leão’s absence. Pulisic, in particular, has been in excellent form this season, having scored seven goals in just 10 Serie A appearances. His sharp finishing has been crucial to Milan’s success, and with Leão out, all eyes will be on the American international to deliver once again.
Verona, on the other hand, has struggled this season. They are currently in 18th place and have only managed to secure two wins in their last 10 Serie A matches. Despite their poor form, they will look to capitalize on Milan's absences and will be hoping for an upset at the Meazza. Daniel Mosquera will be a key player for Verona in attack, as the team looks to make a statement against the high-flying Rossoneri.
With both teams facing different challenges, this match promises to be an intriguing encounter. Milan will need to put their recent slip-ups behind them and find a way to maintain their challenge for the Serie A title. Meanwhile, Verona, though struggling, will be determined to claw their way out of the relegation zone. The match kicks off at 12:30 CET, and Milan will be hoping to extend their unbeaten streak and continue their pursuit of the league leaders.
