Team News:

After exiting during Tuesday’s match against Newcastle, Milan’s goalkeeper Mike Maignan will be on the sidelines for a minimum of a week due to a thigh injury.

As a result, recent acquisition Marco Sportiello will step in as the main keeper.

Milan is likely to showcase a revamped three-man defense.

Ismael Bennacer, who has been missing for a while, won’t be back until year-end. Additionally, Pierre Kalulu, the French defender, remains unavailable because of a thigh concern.

On the visitor’s side, both Jayden Braaf and Josh Doig are unavailable for selection.

Thomas Henry is still recuperating from an ACL injury.

Verona’s skipper, Marco Faraoni, is poised to take the right flank. He has a history of scoring against Milan in Serie A, including two goals at San Siro.

In the attacking department, Milan Djuric and Federico Bonazzoli are contenders for the main striker role in a likely 3-4-2-1 setup.

Prediction:

Given their historical advantage, Milan is in a strong position to recover from their recent setbacks, aiming for their fourth victory in the ongoing Serie A season out of five games.

Though Verona has shown promise early in the 2023-24 season, their constraints are similar to the previous year.

Moreover, they haven’t yet managed a win against Milan at San Siro in top-tier matches.
