Middling squads AC Chievo (9-12-7, 34 points) and AC Milan (13-7-8, 47 points) are scheduled to face each other at the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi in Verona on Sunday, March 13th for a 2015-2016 Serie A season matchup.
The two teams are coming off losing efforts in their previous matches and will both look to bounce back from their respective setbacks in their matchday 29 meeting.
Chievo was routed by top contenders SSC Napoli, 1-3, at the Stadio San Paolo last Saturday, to drop the team's third game in its last six matches, as reported by ESPN.
Gialloblu midfielder Nicola Rigoni opened the scoring right at the second minute of the match to put his team ahead early.
However, the lead was short-lived as it was immediately cancelled by the Italian top flight's current top scorer, Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuaín, four minutes later. Napoli's Romanian defender Vlad Chiriches gave the lead to the hosts seven minutes before the halftime break.
In the second half, Gli Azzurri forward Jose Callejon sealed the game at the 70th minute with a left-footed shot from center box to crush the hopes of Rolando Maran's side.
Meanwhile, Milan was blanked by a streaking US Sassuolo Calcio squad, 0-2, at the Mapei Stadium - Città del Tricolore last Sunday, as per Goal.
I Rossoneri was not able to take advantage of the 10-man Sassuolo side as Siniša Mihajlović's boys could not breach I Neroverdi goalkeeper Andrea Consigli's net with still 14 minutes left until the full time whistle when French striker Grégoire Defrel was sent off after being booked by a second yellow card.
Ghanaian midfielder Alfred Duncan scored the opening goal for Sassuolo at the 27th minute then forward Nicola Sansone doubled the lead at the 71st to provide the goals for the hosts.
The loss snapped Il Diavolo's nine-game unbeaten streak that dates back to Jan. 9th of this year.
The predicted result is a 1-0 win for AC Milan over AC Chievo.
