AC Milan continue their hunt for a top-six finish when they host Hellas Verona in the Serie A on Saturday.
The Italian Giants were in a good run of form having held rivals Inter in the league before beating AS Roma 3-1 in the Copa Italia. They then won away at Empoli but their unbeaten run was halted in the Champions League playoff match on Wednesday, as they went down 0-1 to Feyenoord.
Hellas Verona, meanwhile, are caught in a relegation battle and find themselves in 15th place, three points off the drop zone.
