Coach Paulo Fonseca’s outburst after the Champions League match with Red Star evidently did not have the desired effects. That’s right, because his Milan last Sunday, on the evening of the celebrations for the 125th anniversary of the Rossoneri club, did not go beyond a disappointing and soporific draw against Genoa (0-0), which thus managed to snatch a golden point at the “Meazza.” Yet another false step for the Diavolo, eighth in the standings and increasingly distant from the top positions.
The Rossoneri still have to make up for the match with Bologna but the gap against the other bigs is starting to become worrying: leading Atalanta has 14 more points, Napoli 12, Inter 11 (which, like its cousins, has one match less). If the Scudetto is now a pipe dream, Champions League qualification could also be seriously at risk, especially if Theo Hernandez and co. continue to leave points on the road, especially against the small ones. It would make a lot of noise, in this regard, another tumble in Verona, which in the past as we know was fatal to Milan. After a turbulent week, the Scaligeri lifted their heads, routing Parma (2-3) and putting an end to the negative streak that had been going on for four days (defeats against Fiorentina, Inter, Cagliari and Empoli). The club’s decision to confirm Paolo Zanetti despite the fact that the exoneration seemed a step away turned out to be the right one, even if the Gialloblù continue to “dance” dangerously on the red zone, just one point away.
Verona-Milan: the latest news on the lineups
Zanetti should confirm the three-man defense, a tactical move that paid off against Parma. In attack, the Rossoblù coach will field Sarr, supported by Suslov and Tengstedt. In defense, however, the former Venezia coach will have to choose between Ghilardi and Magnani. Harroui is injured: season over for the former Sassuolo and Frosinone player.
On the other side, Fonseca has his men counted especially in midfield, given Musah’s unavailability. On the left-hand lane, Jimenez could take the place of Theo Hernandez, among the “senators” finished in the Lusitanian coach’s sights. Up front Morata will move back a few meters, going into the role of a fantasist behind Abraham: on his sides Chukwueze and Leao.

The Prediction
Verona, in fact, has not been “fatal” for a long time for Milan, which has always taken away the three points in the last four visits to the “Bentegodi.” The Rossoneri, it is true, are very discontinuous, but against the Gialloblù they should not make a mistake, also because we are talking about a team that concedes an avalanche of goals and has to deal with the worst defense in the tournament (as many as 39 goals conceded in 16 games). Music to the ears of Fonseca’s attack, which is eager to redeem itself after running out of steam with Genoa.
The probable lineups of Verona-Milan
VERONA (3-4-2-1): Montipò; Dawidowicz, Coppola, Ghilardi; Tachtchoua, Belahyane, Duda, Lazovic; Suslov, Tengstedt; Sarr.
MILAN (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Emerson Royal, Thiaw, Gabbia, Jimenez; Fofana, Reijnders; Chukwueze, Morata, Leao; Abraham.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-2
