On the "friendly" pitch of Verona the Rossoneri are looking for their fifth consecutive victory
The qualification against Slavia Prague in the return match of the round of 3 of the Europa League was archived with a 1-17 victory away from home, Milan with skyrocketing morale, also fresh from the narrow victory against Empoli in the last round of the championship , is ready to dive back into the biggest tournament in our country. A trip to Verona awaits them on Sunday 15 March at 1pm with the aim of extending the positive streak and consolidating second place in the standings after having overtaken a Juventus who no longer know how to win. This time they will find Baroni's team on their way, having recently defeated two direct rivals in the fight for salvation, Sassuolo and Lecce both with a score of 0-2, and given oxygen to a ranking that for the moment keeps them away with a margin of +XNUMX from the relegation zone. A particularly significant result considering the departures in January of key players such as Djuric, Ngonge, Hien, Terracciano, Faraoni and Saponara.
The precedents are largely in favor of the Rossoneri who have won 32 of the 63 matches played, drawn 21 but also lost 10. In the first leg at San Siro it was Lion (in the photo) to decide the fate of the match with a goal in the 8th minute assisted by Giroud and which extended Milan's consecutive victories against the Venetian team to six but also three important points for Inter's temporary hold on top of the table classification. The Milanese's positive numbers can also be summarized with the heavy spoils achieved at the Bentegodi, where they have not lost since 17 December 2017, when it ended 3-0 for the yellow-blues, where they subsequently drew twice and won 2 matches, including the last four away games.
Once again the yellow-blue coach Baroni will propose a four-man defense in front of Montipò with the full-backs Tchatchoua on the right and Cabal on the left alongside the two central defenders Coppola and Magnani. Noslin will be re-proposed as the sole striker and will be able to count on the balls to finish from Folorunsho, Suslov and Lazovic, behind whom Serdar and Duda will act.
Pioli, on the opposite side, will once again be able to count on the contribution of Leao who has served his suspension. He will be Giroud's sidekick with Pulisic and Loftus-Cheek. Bennacer and Reijnders will act as a filter for the defense four made up of Calabria, Thiaw, Tomori and Hernandez. Trust placed once again in Maignan in goal.
The BetFlag blackboard smiles at Milan, the favorite thanks to the 2 at 1,70, certainly far from Verona's 1 at 4,95 and with the X multiplying by 3,75. Giroud is once again the leader of the special ranking of the possible first or last scorer of the match at 5,75, followed by Jovic at 6,50, Leao at 7,00, Okafor at 7,50, Pulisic at 7,75, Loftus-Cheek at 8,25, Chukwueze at 9,75, Zeroli at 10,50, Swiderski at 12,00, Noslin at 12,25 and then all the others.
