Players to Watch

Rafael Leao

Leao will be all alone today. He is the only striker in the squad and the weight of that responsibility will hopefully spur him to a good performance and one that helps us win this game. Milan will struggle creatively again similar to the Udinese game hence Leao will have to play between the lines and to open up some space to create opportunities.

Matteo Zaccagni

Zaccagni will be the player to stop this afternoon. The partnership between him and Barak is what Milan have to limit as they have been keeping Verona in the games and creating havoc especially late in games. Kessie will have a lot on his plate hence Meite will need to show his worth defensively by keeping Zaccagni locked up.

Gianluigi Donnarumma

This is type of game where the performance of Donnarumma is going to be critical to us coming away with anything. He will have to go above and beyond to ensure he is not beaten as Lasagna and Co will be looking to stun Milan on the counter as soon as they can. Donnarumma needs to be a fortress.

Prediction: Verona 0 - 1 Milan
