“Even an ailing Milan side can overcome Serie B-bound Verona, who have a horrendous home record this season.” This stark observation underscores the mounting pressure on Hellas Verona as they prepare to face AC Milan on April 19, 2026, at Stadio Bentegodi.
With AC Milan struggling, having lost four of their last seven Serie A fixtures, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Hellas Verona, on the other hand, finds itself in dire straits, lying nine points adrift of safety with only six games left to play. They have also suffered four straight defeats in Serie A, making their upcoming match against Milan feel like a last-ditch effort for survival.
That context matters because Hellas Verona has not tasted victory against AC Milan since December 2017—an alarming statistic that looms over their head. In fact, they have lost their last ten encounters with Milan by an aggregate scoreline of 22-6. This historical dominance by Milan adds pressure not just on the players but also on the coaching staff to reverse this trend.
Milan’s recent form raises eyebrows. They risk losing three straight league games without scoring for the first time since April 1967. But can they turn it around? The presence of key players like Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic could make a difference. Yet, Leao has not scored at the Bentegodi, and Pulisic’s last Serie A strike against Verona was back in December—he has gone 14 consecutive appearances without finding the net.
Hellas Verona famously cost Milan two editions of the Scudetto with shock victories at the Bentegodi. Those memories linger like ghosts in the minds of players and fans alike. Will history repeat itself or will Milan continue its stronghold at this venue?
The situation is precarious for both teams: while AC Milan seeks to regain its form and maintain its position in the top tier of Serie A, Hellas Verona is fighting for survival. Both teams will try to reverse their fortunes in what promises to be an electrifying encounter.
As fans gear up for this match, all eyes will be on Stadio Bentegodi. Can Hellas Verona finally break their losing streak against a faltering AC Milan? Or will Milan extend their dominance further? Details remain unconfirmed about potential lineup changes as each team prepares for this crucial clash.
