Striding out at San Siro for the third time in eight days, AC Milan seek their first win since the international break when they resume Serie A duty at home to Hellas Verona on Saturday.
After last week's thumping in the Derby della Madonnina was followed by a midweek stalemate in the Champions League, Milan meet a Verona side that has been beaten just once so far this season.
We say: AC Milan 2-0 Hellas Verona
With precedent firmly on their side, Milan can bounce back from a tough week to post their fourth win from five Serie A matches this season. Verona may have overachieved in the early days of the 2023-24 campaign, but their limitations remain more or less the same as last year - and they have never before beaten Milan in a top-flight match at San Siro.

Aiming to extend their unbeaten start to the Serie A season, Juventus visit struggling Sassuolo on Saturday evening.
The Bianconeri travel to Reggio Emilia after posting three wins from their first four league games, but the hosts have picked up just three points to date.
We say: Sassuolo 1-2 Juventus
A dire record against Juventus and some slipshod defending so far this season could set Sassuolo up for a fourth loss from five to start the Serie A season. Juve have shown signs of the synchronicity missing since their last Scudetto win, and they are proving particularly effective away from home.

Lazio vs. Monza (Saturday, 7.45pm)

Lazio welcome Monza to Stadio Olimpico on Saturday, seeking a return to winning ways in Serie A after an underwhelming start.
The Biancocelesti almost suffered a fourth defeat in five in all competitions before Ivan Provedel's dramatic leveller against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday secured a point, while the visitors drew 1-1 with Lecce in gameweek four.
We say: Lazio 2-1 Monza
Neither Sarri's team nor Monza head into Saturday's game in top form, and the visitors ideally should back themselves to secure a first point against Sarri's men at the Olimpico.
However, the away side's defeats at Inter and Atalanta BC suggest another loss could be on the cards despite Lazio's European exertions on Tuesday.
