Chievo vs Milan II - Serie D - Girone B

Chievo prepare to host Milan II at the home ground on October 18, 2026, with both sides eager to assert their credentials and claim a result that could define their Serie D - Girone B season. Man Utd trained at Carrington on Monday morning as they prepared to face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

The standings paint a clear picture: Chievo in 2nd, Milan II in 9th, and both keen to climb. The hosts have been imperious, DLWLW in their last five underpinning an elite win rate of 71.43% that marks them out as genuine contenders. Milan II are brimming with belief on the road, their LWWLW run reflecting a season win rate of 60%. Where Chievo have leaned on defensive discipline, Milan II have often taken the initiative going forward, and that stylistic difference should shape the contest. Larson’s long-term plans have attracted renewed attention following teammate Alex Bowman’s recent announcement that he intends to retire from full-time Cup Series competition at the end of the 2027 season.

Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. Chievo will look to impose their style on home soil, while Milan II are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand. Tottenham have changed their approach and are spending big on players who already know the Premier League.

Game-changers are scattered across both line-ups, and the contest may well be decided by which side's match-winners deliver on the day. How each side deals with the other's danger men — and who takes their chances when they come — will be central to the outcome. Benjamin Sesko started his first game of the season for Manchester United on Thursday and his goal was a timely boost ahead of the derby with Man City.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. On balance, Chievo look well-placed to claim all three points, and a 3-2 home win would not come as a surprise. With positions in the Serie D - Girone B table to defend and momentum to chase, neither side can afford to leave anything in the tank.
