"Roma have the best defence in the league, having conceded 12 goals. Milan are second with 16, tied with Como. In terms of goals conceded and expected goals on target (the goals a goalkeeper should have conceded based on the shots on target), Mike and Mile are first and second. Maignan prevented 7.67 goals that Milan 'should' have conceded; Svilar 7.39 for Roma. To put this into perspective: aside from Provedel, a respectable third with 6.88, Caprile is fourth, a distant second with 4.42."
"Mike was a phenomenon this season with saves on Neres against Napoli, on Gatti in Juve-Milan, on Zappacosta late in Bergamo, on Gila against Lazio, and on Da Cunha and Paz in Como. Then there were the penalties saved from Dybala and Calhanoglu, two specialists, and the free kick saved from Hernani in Parma. They're a metaphor: they are just saves on the face of things, but in reality they're points earned."
Roma have conceded 12 goals, the fewest in Serie A, while Milan have conceded 16, tied with Como. In expected goals on target, Mike Maignan and Mile Svilar rank first and second respectively. Maignan prevented 7.67 goals that Milan would have been expected to concede; Svilar prevented 7.39 for Roma. Save percentages show Svilar at 84.6% and Maignan at 77.5%. Maignan has produced a string of crucial saves and penalty and free‑kick stops, directly earning points. Svilar draws praise for exceptional saves and strong game management. Maignan has greater international experience; Svilar is younger with room to improve.
