Posted on April 24, 2016 by Sreya

Hellas Verona hosts AC Milan at Marcantonio Bentegodi on 25th April, Monday in their thirty-fifth Serie A fixture of the season. As a disappointing league campaign for the Mastiffs nears its end, with the club set to get relegated at the end of the season, the Verona supporters will be hoping for a positive result.

Verona are on the twentieth position in league standings with only twenty two points from three wins and thirteen draws. Their opponents tomorrow, AC Milan are still chasing a UEFA Europa League spot as they are on the sixth position with fifty three points. With Fiorentina hosting Juventus in a tough fixture on Sunday, Milan can close the gap should they win tomorrow.

AC Milan played out a goalless draw against Carpi in their last fixture while Verona lost 1-0 to Empoli, marking their third consecutive defeat in as many matches.
