It has been a bruising period in Italy’s Serie A for AC Milan, as the Rossoneri have quickly dropped down the league standings after winning just once in their last five.
Milan come into this round following a draw last weekend, but there is now an eight-point difference between themselves and the Champions League positions.
Hellas Verona enjoyed some festive cheer last weekend after picking up a fifth win of the season to move out of the relegation places. However, a defeat on Friday could see them go into Christmas Day sitting inside the bottom three.
