AC Milan continues their unbeaten streak in Serie A this week when they take on Hellas Verona. The match schedules for Saturday at San Siro, with kickoff at 9:45 pm.
Both sides picked up wins before the international break. The hosts managed a 3-2 win over Atalanta while Hellas Verona picked up a 4-0 win over Spezia.
Milan struggled against European teams but has been doing well in the main Italian league and now face a team that has improved vastly since their new leadership – they have scored 12 goals in their last four games.
In addition, Milan secured second place in the league after his sixth win from seven Serie A games in the 2021/22 season.
Stefano Pioli‘s men continued their impressive start to the season by surviving a belated Bergamaschi rematch 3-2 at Gewiss Stadium.
After the race in the early lead through Davide Calabria, Milan took advantage of their first blow in the first minute. Sandro Tonali doubled Milan’s lead over Rafael Leao scored a third with 12 minutes remaining.
Since his appointment last month, Verona have expanded their unbeaten streak to four games with an all-out win over the ailing Spezia last time.
A previously dormant Hellas unexpectedly established itself as one of the highest-scoring teams on the peninsula after a dramatic win against Roma on the new coach’s debut.
