AC Milan in Verona to clinch Champions League
After defeats against Napoli and Udinese ended their Scudetto hopes, AC Milan turn their focus back to the Champions League ambition. A win is needed to ensure they maintain their advantage over fourth-placed Juventus, who will also be their next opponent. Verona, meanwhile, must hope for victory to attempt an extremely difficult climb up the table: safety is currently nine points away with eighteen still available.
