Visitors Fighting to Avoid Relegation
The Gialloblu hope to make a late escape from relegation when they travel to play AC Milan for their season’s final match. You can live bet on the Italian top-flight league action by using our sportsbook.
AC Milan: Decent Campaign
Stefano Pioli’s side has had an underwhelming campaign after last season’s Serie A triumph but could still pip Inter to third place, having already secured Champions League football for next season. Despite a disappointing 10 draws in Serie A this term, Milan’s success over Juventus last weekend means they have won consecutive games and are justified favorites for Sunday’s clash.
Given Milan’s limited aspirations for the final game, we won’t include them in our Serie A picks and parlays. AC Milan didn’t impress with their attacking record this term, scoring just 15 goals in their previous 15 domestic games. The head coach said that team lacked the depth to play well consistently on two fronts, so he expects reinforcements for the next season to be more competitive. Ismael Bennacer is injured and will not play in the upcoming game against Verona. Also, Stefano Pioli may give some younger players a chance in the final league round.
For one such player, Sunday is likely to mark the end of a long journey with Milan. Zlatan Ibrahimovic helped inspire the team to the Scudetto last season. But it appears his long career may finally be catching up with him. Injury complications have prevented the club icon from playing since March, but it would not be wise to rule out Zlatan making an appearance in the final 10 minutes on Sunday.
Verona: Avoiding Relegation
When it comes down to motivation, Verona will most likely be the most fired-up team at kick-off. The club’s vast improvement in form after the winter break has Marco Zafferoni’s team level with points, but behind on head-to-head, with Spezia.
With their relegation rivals unlikely to win against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico, Verona knows that even a point could likely secure their Serie A survival. As a result, it would be no surprise to see the away side kick off on Sunday evening only needing to secure a draw, so if you’re betting online, you should back the visitors here.
Zafferoni’s side has struggled with finding defensive balance, often failing to make an offensive impact when focused on keeping their opponent at bay. The injury problems continue for Marco Zafferoni, who is without Josh Doig, Thomas Henry, Ajdin Hrustic, and Ondrej Duda. Kevin Lasagna could make his return for the final game, as Pawel Dawidowicz.
AC Milan vs Verona Head-to-Head
Even with their thin squad, AC Milan’s home performances haven’t been an issue, collecting as many home points as they did in the entirety of their previous title-winning season. A draw here would see them finish with their most profitable Serie A home campaign since 2012-13. AC Milan is yet to lose a single home Serie A game against Hellas Verona, winning 17 in 30 games.
Verona has picked up only 10 of their 31 points this season on the road, winning once, which leaves them the second-worst traveling side going into the final round. The visitors have shown a fighting spirit recently, suffering only one defeat across their last four away league matches, including a goalless draw against champions Napoli.

AC Milan vs Verona Picks and Prediction
The hosts enter this clash as favorites, priced at -125 on the three-way moneyline according to the latest Serie A odds, while the goal line is set at 2½.
While we can’t be sure what lineup AC Milan will have on Sunday due to lack of motivation, we can be sure that Verona’s head coach will field the best possible eleven to try to make a surprising survival from relegation. They need to better Spezia’s result. If the two clubs finish level on points, they will play each other in a tiebreak game to avoid relegation next week. Milan has kept only one clean sheet against the current bottom four sides this season, and they have nothing to play for.
