"Milan prevailed in the first game between the two sides, scoring the only goal of the game through Strahinja Pavlovic. However, as most people will remember, Roma dominated large parts of the first half and the Rossoneri really could have conceded a few times. Nevertheless, it's clear that Roma caused issues with their fluidity up front, though today's game could be very different."
""In terms of aggression, no, but in terms of having a point of reference in attack, yes. Malen is a good player and he presented himself very well. It will be a different match for us defensively,""
"The latest reports suggest that Koni De Winter will get the chance at the back once again, with Pavlovic staying on the bench. Compared to the Serbian, the Belgian has a more 'laidback' role, certainly not going on as many runs forward. This also helps Milan push forward on the right instead."
A different defensive challenge is expected against Roma after the club added Donyell Malen, who provides a clear reference point in attack. Milan prevailed in the first meeting 1-0 thanks to Strahinja Pavlovic's goal, but Roma dominated large parts of the first half and created several chances. Roma's fluidity up front previously caused problems for Milan's backline. Koni De Winter is likely to start in defense with Pavlovic on the bench. De Winter plays a more laidback role and avoids many forward runs, which permits Milan to push higher on the right flank.
