Friday evening preview between Verona and Milan in the 17th matchday of Serie A. Zanetti and Fonseca’s teams will compete at the Bentegodi, who absolutely need to bring home the three points. The yellow-blues are fresh from the excellent success in Parma: the 2-3 at Tardini contributed to saving Zanetti’s bench. For Milan, however, only 0-0 against Genoa and an unsatisfactory position in the standings: Leao and his teammates no longer have any margin for error.

VERONA-MILAN PREDICTION ODDS

The Rossoneri, after yet another misstep at home against Genoa, have the obligation to regain the three points so as not to move further away from the noble areas of the table – at the moment, with a match still to be recovered, they are 14 points from the top . Up front, however, they will have a Verona team that will face this challenge after an important victory obtained in the last round of the championship, and above all in a ranking position (+5 from Monza and Venice in last place) which does not allow them to do further calculations. Going unbalanced on a combo, and putting together Milan’s advantage and the “open” match that awaits at the Bentegodi, let’s hypothesize 2 + Multigoal 2-5: the odds are 1.94 on Betway, 2.03 on Netbet, 2.05 on Sisal and Goldbet, 2.10 on William Hill.

BOTH SCORED

Fonseca’s Milan undoubtedly start as favorites in the 17th round of Serie A. However, in addition to the final outcome, we are opting for a match with many goals. With 17 Overs in Verona’s last 20 matches, eight in the last ten between Hellas and Milan at the Bentegodi, and eight in Verona’s seasonal championship matches at home, the feeling becomes stronger and stronger. The superiority of Fonseca’s team over Zanetti’s is clear, but they will try to score at least one goal. For bettors, the Goal is an eventuality that cannot be ruled out. The odds are lower than those assigned to No Goal: 1.73 on Netbet and William Hill, 1.74 on LeoVegas, 1.75 on bet365, 1.76 on Betway.

THE OCCASIONS OF VERONA-MILAN

Conversely, a home team win can pay up to 5.50 times the stake on bet365, William Hill and Goldbet. The draw, as usual, is in the middle: the X is worth 4.00 on Sisal, 4.16 on Betway, 4.20 on William Hill. As regards the number of goals that will arrive during the match, the main betting sites report, Over seems to have the advantage: the odds are 1.68 on Netbet, 1.72 on Sisal, 1.73 on bet365.

THE PRECEDENTS OF VERONA-MILAN

Out of 32 matches played in Veneto, the guests won on 14 occasions against the yellow-blues’ 10, with eight draws. Even in terms of goals scored, the Rossoneri are ahead: 42 to 49. The most recent match at the Bentegodi is that of last March 17th: Milan victorious 1-3 thanks to goals from Theo Hernandez, Pulisic and Chukwueze (by Noslin the the home team’s only goal). To analyze Verona’s latest success, however, we need to go back seven years: it was precisely 17 December 2017 and Hellas coached by Pecchia, who were then relegated to Serie B, managed to win 3-0 against Milan ( three goals scored by Caracciolo, Kean and Bessa).

VERONA-MILAN, THE GOALSCORERS

Six goals between two for Morata and Abraham, practically less than half of Atalanta’s Retegui, the current top scorer in Serie A. The data gives a good picture of the “forwards” problem of Fonseca’s team, who up to now have been absolutely lacking in impact. Having to rely on a player for the match against Verona, however, the name to mention is still that of Alvaro Morata, albeit unrecognizable since he started wearing the Rossoneri shirt. The odds that suggest him as a goalscorer are 2.50 on William Hill, 2.53 on Betway, 2.60 on Netwin and Netbet. On the other hand, Zanetti will once again rely on Tengstedt to worry the opposing rearguard: a goal from him is worth 4.00 times the stake on Netwin and Netbet, 4.75 on bet365.
