The Red and Blacks are also undefeated in their five home matches in Serie A having recorded one draw and four victories as the hosts.
 
“I too have improved, and that is also thanks to the squad, the club that supported me and the directors," Milan manager Stefano Pioli said following their win over Atalanta.  
 
"When everyone works together on the same page, it feels easier. “However, there’s a long way to go and we must remain humble, because it will be a battle. 
 
"At the same time, it’s good to ride the wave of enthusiasm and I want my players to believe themselves superior to the rest. It’s then up to them to prove it, one game at a time.”

Meanwhile, Verona hammered a hapless Spezia side 4-0 at home in their previous league match which was played on October 3. 
 
Therefore, the Yellow and Blues are undefeated in their last four matches in this competition having recorded two wins and two draws.
 
However, Verona are winless in their last seven matches on the road in Serie A having registered four defeats and three draws as the visitors.
 
The last meeting between Milan and Verona in a league game was on 7 March 2021. 
 
Milan proved too strong for Verona as they claimed a 2-0 win in a match that was played at the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi.
