AC Milan will make the trip to the Stadio MarcAntonio Bentegodi on Sunday afternoon, hoping to take a big step towards their main target.
Results so far have gone Milan’s way: Roma dropped points against Atalanta while Como lost to Sassuolo, and Napoli were beaten by Lazio yesterday. That means that the Rossoneri could take second spot back, and create an eight-point cushion to fifth place.

First, however, they must get three points against a Verona side that have been staring down the barrel of relegation for weeks. Below is how the Italian newspapers look this morning, with each of them making reference to the big opportunity in the top four race.
La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Milan and Juve: Champions League time. Big opportunities in Verona and against Bologna. The Diavolo Allegri: ‘It’s not in my DNA to change often’.”
Corriere dello Sport: “Napoli sinks. Goals from Cancellieri and Basic bring the Nerazzurri closer to their 21st title. Milan travel to Verona to catch up with Conte.”
Tuttosport: “Max: ‘Leao? The boos were needed’. Verona-Milan at 3pm.”
QS: “Verona trap, no room for mistakes. Max only thinking about European qualification.”
