For Hellas Verona vs. AC Milan, Green has picked AC Milan's Rafael Leao to score in the match at +138 odds. The 22-year-old left winger is tied with midfielder Brahim Diaz for the club lead in goals across all competitions in 2021 with four. In AC Milan's 3-2 win against Atalanta on October 3, Leao scored the game-winner in the 88th minute.

Hellas Verona has struggled in its road matches this season, and that starts with its defensive back line. The Gialloblu have shown potential on offense, but against one of the premier clubs in Serie A, they'll need top performances. Even though AC Milan may be without starting keeper Mike Maignan, Green doesn't believe Verona is a significant threat to challenge for a result.

"Milan has been unable to rely upon veteran strikers Zlatan Ibrahimović and Olivier Giroud this season, as they have faced various injury problems," Green told SportsLine. "However, Alexis Saelemaekers, Brahim Díaz, Rafael Leão, Theo Hernández and Ante Rebić have all impressed, so manager Stefano Pioli has lots of attacking options at his disposal."
