I Rossoneri is coming off a scoreless draw with bottom-three team Carpi at the Stadio Alberto Braglia in Modena last Sunday to gain a point in the overall standings, as per Goal.

Meanwhile, Verona was nipped by middling team Empoli, 1-0, at the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi also last Sunday, as reported by SkySports.

Empoli left back Andrea Costa netted the winner one minute after the hour mark of the match to put away Luigi Delneri's hopes of finally getting a win this season.

Gialloblu is the only team remaining in the Italian top flight that is still winless 15 games through in the current season. The team was able to pull off six draws, however, for six points in the league table.

The prediction is AC Milan over Verona, 2-0. It will be a routine win for Siniša Mihajlović's side as the Mastiffs continue to be miserable with their winless season.
