Sunday’s top football event could be considered the derby between Milan and Roma – two of Italy’s football heavyweights. However, the match comes at a time when both teams find themselves in positions far from their usual standards. Milan currently sits in 6th place, while Roma is in 10th. One thing, however, remains certain: both clubs are aiming for European spots, and this match will be crucial in their pursuit of that goal.
AC Milan Team News
Paulo Fonseca has faced significant criticism during his time at the helm of Milan, and it’s undeniable that his team has been underperforming. While there have been some standout moments, such as their victory over bitter rivals Inter and the unexpected 1-3 win at the Bernabeu, Milan’s overall consistency has been lacking. However, recent signs of improvement are evident, as the Rossoneri have lost only one match in their last 11 outings, securing 7 victories in the process. Moving forward, consistency will be the key focus for Fonseca and his team, and the clean sheets they kept in their last two matches are a promising sign of progress.
AS Roma Team News
Roma’s season has been a strange and disappointing one, with experienced Claudio Ranieri becoming their third manager since the start of the campaign. Even under his leadership, the team has shown mixed results, though recent performances have sparked some optimism for improvement. The Giallorossi have won 4 of their last 5 matches across all competitions, keeping an impressive 3 clean sheets and conceding just 2 goals. In attack, Roma has been prolific, scoring a healthy number of goals, never netting fewer than 2 in any match. They have even managed to score 4 goals on two occasions and most recently, 5 against Parma.
Head-to-Head-Games
The recent head-to-head record between Milan and Roma is evenly split, with each team securing 2 wins. However, the last two encounters between the sides were both won by the Giallorossi. Interestingly, these victories came in the knockout stages of the Europa League, not Serie A. Of the last 5 meetings, three featured over 2.5 goals, while four saw both teams find the back of the net.
AC Milan – AS Roma Betting Prediction
There are signs of improvement in both Milan and Roma and that is a good thing for Serie A as those are 2 of the biggest Italian teams and the league can only benefit if they too join the battles for the top spots. Games between these two have often been marked with a good amount of goals, often coming from both sides. Hence my pick here will be for both teams to score. It is quite common for such a thing to happen between these 2 and I fully expect them to go for the win here which could lead to an open and goal-rich encounter.
