"AC Milan's trip to the Stadio Olimpico to face Roma feels like more than just three points up for grabs, given that the race at the top is heating up. MilanNews speak about a game that 'could truly be a turning point for this season', and not just because of Roma-Milan at 20:45 CET. Just before the Rossoneri take to the field in the capital, Juventus will host Napoli, so it could be a very important Sunday. What are the three keys?"
"A crossroads awaits A win would see Milan extend their lead over the Giallorossi to seven points. On the other hand, Gasperini's team would move to within one point of the Rossoneri with a victory, closing in on second place and reshuffling the table a bit. The three points could also provide a significant confidence boost for the winners. Therefore, it's truly a key match, especially considering what will happen in Turin, with two teams in similar situations."
"Massimiliano Allegri, in his pre-match press conference, discussed Rafael Leao's condition. He clearly isn't playing at 100% fitness, a problem that's limiting his physical and technical abilities. The coach laid it all out on the table. "There's some inflammation in the adductor/pubic muscle. It's minimal pain, a bit annoying; he knows how much it is," Allegri said. Likewise, Christian Pulisic, despite an enviable scoring streak, has had a season plagued by aches and pains so far. This pairing will most likely be the one taking the field at the Olimpico, and they are players who can make the difference."
AC Milan travel to the Stadio Olimpico to face Roma in a match with major implications for the Serie A title race and standings. A Milan win would extend their lead over Roma to seven points, while a victory for the opposition would close the gap and reshuffle positions near the top. Juventus hosting Napoli earlier on Sunday increases the fixture's significance for overall table dynamics. Rafael Leao is not fully fit due to adductor/pubic inflammation, and Christian Pulisic has endured recurring aches. Niclas Füllkrug and Christopher Nkunku are available and in good form. Alexis Saelemaekers could become an important factor.
