AC Milan vs Chievo: Match Preview, How to watch, Prediction.

Serie A action is back this weekend and AC Milan are off on an away trip to take on Chievo!

Prior to the international break, Milan played out a thrilling 4-3 affair against Sassuolo where they were down 3-1 until late in the second half, where Bacca, Locatelli and Paletta all scored to complete the comeback. The Rossoneri were hoping to continue their momentum, only to have the international break stop them yet again.

It’s 5th vs 6th this weekend, where Milan are sitting at 6th on 13 points. They could, however, jump to 3rd if results were to go their way. Montella is starting Lapadula over Bacca, who only returned to Milan on Thursday and is needed fit for the match against Juventus.
