AC Milan Team News
After a long break due to the World Cup in Qatar, the current champion continued the competition in Serie A in a winning rhythm.
Thanks to an early two-goal lead, the Rossoneri won 2-1 away to Salernitana in the previous round. It was the fourth match in a row in the league from which Stefan Pioli’s team came out undefeated despite the numerous problems they face due to a large number of injured players.
At the end of the 16th round, it turned out that their biggest rival Inter did them a big favor by defeating Napoli 1-0. The difference between the second-placed Milan and the leaders of Serie A was reduced to a tolerable five points.
Napoli is the only team that managed to take points from Milan at the San Siro in the previous eight games, which speaks volumes for how dangerous the red and black are when they play in front of their fans.
Out of the total number of goals scored, which is 31, Milan scored 20 at home, and the attacking line led by Rafael Lea (7 goals) and Olivier Giroud (5 goals) constantly threatens the opponent’s goal.
AS Roma Team News
As we have already said, Milan always plays offensively in front of their fans. Roma is currently in the 6th position in the table with 30 points won from 16 matches played.
A victory in this match, after a 1-0 triumph over Bologna in the last round at the Olimpico, along with a good run in the upcoming matches, could lead Roma to a more serious story about the title, in addition to achieving the main goal – placement in the group stage of the Champions League.
The Giallorossi play better away from home than at home this season, they have suffered only one away defeat with five wins and two draws, so they will present a serious test for the Italian champions at San Siro.
This is supported by the history of their meetings, in which Roma did not lose both league matches in a season for almost ten years until last season when Milan won the Scudetto.
H2H
These two teams met 193 times in all competitions. Milan was better 82 times, while Roma achieved 51 victories, 60 games ended in a draw.

AC Milan vs AS Roma Prediction
Milan is almost perfect in home stadium this season, on the other hand, Roma plays better away from home than at home. Given that it is always difficult to predict the winner in these kinds of matches, we decided to bet on goals.
Seven of the last eight meetings between Milan and Roma have ended with goals for both sides, regardless of whether they played at the San Siro or the Olimpico. That’s why our combination for this match is for both teams to score, and the 22bet bookmaker offers us an excellent rate of 1.89 for that option, which we will immediately accept.
