AC Milan vs. Roma Analysis
AC Milan
Milan sit second behind runaway leaders Napoli. The Naples club suffered their first league defeat of the season on Wednesday, so the win at Salernitana closed the gap at the top to just five points.
Milan, who won Serie A last term, have been in decent form this season. Pioli’s troops have picked up 11 wins, drawn three times, and have lost just twice. They have collected 36 points from 16 league games.
Nerazzurri were in fine fettle before the World Cup break, and the victory over Salernitana in midweek extended their unbeaten streak to five in the league. Since a home loss to Napoli in September, Milan have won seven of nine Serie A games.
The Red and Blacks have been formidable at the San Siro this season, suffering just one home loss in the league. Can they put another big three points on the board this weekend? Our Milan vs Roma prediction is coming up.
Roma
Mourinho’s Roma have had a mixed bag of results up until now. They find themselves in sixth position on 30 points after 16 games, winning nine, drawing three and losing four. Finishing in the UEFA Champions League spots is their ultimate ambition.
AS Roma have struggled for wins in recent games, picking up just two from the last six in Serie A. Before the break, they sealed only two points from a possible nine. However, the Rome outfit returned to action with a win over Bologna, which was their first home success since October.
Things are very tight in the race for European places in Italy’s top table. Right now, just six points separates Milan in second to Roma in sixth. An away victory for Giallorossi would close that gap to just three points.
The visitors may be the underdogs in Milan, but can Mourinho guide his side to a vital away victory on Sunday?
