"Starting at the back for Milan, it's obvious that they will need to keep an extra eye on Paulo Dybala. The Argentine has been involved in 13 (!) goals against the Rossoneri in his career, so despite the penalty miss in the reverse fixture, this is a game that he likes. Since Matias Soule is starting to the left in attack, Dybala should start from the right and that likely means he will find himself against Koni De Winter."
"On Milan's right flank, Alexis Saelemaekers has recovered just in time for the game and since he spent last season on loan at Roma, he will be fired up. We saw that a lot in the reverse fixture, getting into altercations with several of his old teammates. Wesley wasn't at Roma last season, though, so the conversations between the two got even more heated."
Milan enter the match after two consecutive wins and need a statement victory over city rivals Roma. Roma aim to secure three points to strengthen their top-four position. Massimiliano Allegri has only Santiago Gimenez unavailable, allowing multiple tactical options for Milan's starting eleven. Key individual battles include Paulo Dybala, who has been involved in 13 goals versus Milan, likely facing Koni De Winter. Alexis Saelemaekers returns on the right and must manage heated duels with Roma attackers. In midfield, Luka Modric will receive protection and Adrien Rabiot will use his size to influence the game.
