Saturday, at 19:30, Chievo will receive AC Milan’s visit in a match for the 27th Serie A. The match will take place at the “Marc’Antonio Bentegodi” stadium in Verona.
The move more than just in this round of Serie A for Piatek & Co. Gattuso’s Milan will meet Chievo’s “red flashlight,” a band almost congratulated with the relegation scenario in Serie B. With only 10 points and a single victory over the 26 stages played so far, Verona is 12 points away from the last a place that provides salvation, an unrealistic objective, comparing with what Chievo has played so far throughout the entire season. Extremely vulnerable on the defensive and limited level when it comes to attack, the proof is that the “red flashlight” has not scored five stages. In other words, AC Milan is not allowed to lose points in this move, because the battle for the UEFA Champions League is a harsh one, and a wrong step on the “red flashlight” field could cost Gattuso’s students in economy of the final hierarchy.
In the last ten direct confrontations between the two bands, AC Milan was forced eight times, while the other two duels ended in a tie;
The previous five direct disputes ended with goals on both sides, but all were won by “rossoneri”: 3-1, 3-1, 4-1, 3-2, 3-1;
The last success of the Veronesians against Milan dates only from December 2005, from a 2-1 on own field;
Probable teams:
Chievo (4-3-1-2): Sorrentino- Depaoli, Bani, Barba, Jaroszynski-Leris, Kiyine, Hetemaj-Giaccherini-Stepinski, Meggiorini
AC Milan (4-3-3): Donnarumma – Calabria, Musacchio, Romagnoli, Laxalt-Kessie, Bakayoko, Paqueta-Suso, Piatek, Calhanoglu
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a solid evolution of our favorites. Against a Chievo resigned to the relegation fate of Serie B, we think Gattuso’s “devils”, headed by Piatek, will shine on this easy trip from Verona.
PREDICTION: AC Milan to win @ 1,57
