Hellas Verona vs AC Milan prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2020-21

Hellas Verona host Scudetto-chasing AC Milan in a Serie A clash on Sunday.

After an excellent start to the season, Milan have somewhat tapered off in recent weeks.

That dip in form has enabled city rivals Inter Milan to build a six-point gap at the top of the Serie A standings.

In their last league game, the Rossoneri stalled again in their push to catch Inter, as they could only draw 1-1 against Udinese.

Rodrigo Becao opened the scoring in the 68th minute of that game for the visitors at the San Siro. Milan had to wait until the seventh minute of second-half stoppage time for a Franck Kessie penalty to draw level in that game.

With 53 points from 25 Serie A matches, Milan are six points behind Inter and are running out of time, with Antonio Conte's side in fine form.

Meanwhile, Verona are having a good season. They are eighth in Serie A with 36 points from 25 games. They are also unbeaten in their last four league games, having secured two wins and two draws from those matches.
