"AC Milan will take on Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday night in what feels like a six-pointer at a crucial point in the season. Milan go into the game having won their last two games against Como and Lecce, while Roma have won four games on the spin and all by a 2-0 scoreline.Massimiliano Allegri described the clash in the capital as an 'exciting' test for his side during his pre-match press conference, with two in-form teams."
"Gian Piero Gasperini is at the helm, and his side have quite literally teetered one way and the other. Why is that? Roma have played 21 league games, one Coppa Italia game and seven in the Europa League, and they are yet to draw a single won. In Serie A they have won 14 and lost seven, while they have five wins in seven in Europe, and lost in the cup to Torino."
"Roma are quite remarkably coming into this game off the back of four 2-0 wins in a row. Domestically they beat Lecce away, Sassuolo at home and Torino away, then on Thursday night they emerged victors against Bundesliga high-fliers VfB Stuttgart to jump into the top eight. There are four probably absentees for the game, according to the latest from La Gazzetta dello Sport: Artem Dovbyk (returns on matchday 30), Stephan El Shaarawy (to be evaluated), Mario Hermoso (returns on matchday 26) and Angelino (to be evaluated)."
AC Milan travel to the Stadio Olimpico to face Roma in a pivotal Serie A fixture with both teams entering in strong form. Milan have won their last two league matches against Como and Lecce. Roma have recorded four straight 2-0 wins, including a Europa League victory over VfB Stuttgart. Gian Piero Gasperini manages Roma following a turbulent period with multiple coaching changes the previous season. Roma have played heavily across competitions, hold 14 Serie A wins and seven losses, and face several probable absentees with staggered return dates.
