The Rossoneri, on the always difficult Bentegodi pitch, vitally need to win again. Here's how the teams will present themselves at the match and the television coverage.
Verona-Milan, scheduled for this evening, on the pre-Christmas weekend, looks like a match not to be missed for more than one reason. Both teams arrive at this appointment through complicated moments of the season, making the challenge even more intriguing.
The search for points in pure air animates the ambitions of both teams: on the one hand Milan, eager to move away from the full-blown crisis, on the other Verona, fighting to avoid the relegation zone. With the kick-off set for 8.45pm at the Bentegodi stadium and the refereeing entrusted to Marinelli di Tivoli, the match promises sparks.
Situation at home in Verona
Verona arrives at the match having finally found the path to victory in the last round, with a 3-2 away to Parma, interrupting a negative streak of four consecutive defeats. However, the team continues to show vulnerability, especially from a defensive point of view, having the most perforated defense in the league. This fragility could weigh particularly heavily in a match where teams could think more about attacking than defending. The team also received some less than encouraging news with Harroui's injury, which will keep him out for the rest of the season. However, there is curiosity around Sarr, a young talent who scored against Parma.
Milan in tension
On the AC Milan front, the situation is tense. After a goalless draw against a very closed Genoa, the team seems on the verge of a nervous crisis. The last few hours have brought further bad news with the loss of Morata to tonsillitis. The match against Verona will therefore see a lot of focus on young players, with Liberali and Jimenez starting and Camarda ready to make his entry from the bench. A question also arises about the role of Theo Hernandez, who, despite starting from the bench, is expected to come on during the match in progress.
Television coverage
For all fans who want to follow the match, Verona-Milan will be streamed on Dazn and for subscribers, it will also be available on Sky channel 214. An opportunity not to miss this long-awaited match between two teams who, despite the difficulties of this season, are determined to demonstrate their value on the field.
