Roma vs Milan predictions for this Serie A clash on Sunday at Stadio Olimpico di Roma. Roma and Milan are looking to edge closer to Inter in the battle for the Italian title. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
Roma
Roma appears in this game after a draw in their last game against Benevento, where the team were unable to break the defensive line of their rivals, a frequent problem for Roma when their opponents play in that style.
Roma is the best home team up to now in Serie A (with one more game played), they haven’t lost any of their 12 games played at Stadio Olimpico.
It’s important to note that in the seven games played up to now against the six top teams in Italy (Inter, Milan, Juve, Atalanta, Lazio and Napoli), La Lupa didn’t win any of those games (three draws and four defeats).
Milan
Milan shows up in this game after the humiliating defeat in il Derby della Madonnina by 0-3. Now Milan is second with four points less than Inter, who is first.
Ibrahimovic (39 years old) is now in good form but Milan can’t always depend on him, they need more from their youngest players.
If we claim that Roma is the best home team we have to also state that Milan is the best away team. In 11 away games they have only lost in one.
Key Stats
Roma vs Milan Predictions
As we said, this game will be played between the best home team and the best away team in Italy up to now, so it’s difficult to know who will dominate the match and the final score, but we think that there will be over 2.5 total match goals because both are between the teams with most goals scored.
We also think that both teams will score because although Roma is one of the teams with less goals conceded in home matches, they have many important players injured in their defensive line.
