AC Milan vs Roma prediction fact and TV info
AC Milan vs Roma prediction fact and TV info. Roma's form has been on an upswing prior to the season being put on hold, going four games unbeaten in all competitions. The Giallorossi currently sit in fifth place in Serie A with a place in next year's Europa League, or even Champions League should they catch Atalanta, looking extremely likely.
AC Milan's form before the undersigned season break with the Rossoneri was not as good as collecting only five points from their last five Serie A games before lockdown. Currently ranked eighth in the AC League, though only three points separate them and Napoli is in sixth place.
It is a head-to-head for European football between the two clubs that had hoped to fight for the top four instead of six, but Milan would feel more confident than Roma.
The Rossoneri came back strong after the lockdown, losing 10 of their men down to the Coppa Italia semi-final to Jabanventus, then Lasse went 4–1. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is still out of action, but Ante Rebic is more than comfortable filling in as a more mobile center-forward, backed by Samu Castillejo, Hakan Calhanoglu and Giacomo Bonaventura. Simon Cajar is a major doubt in defense, so Mateo is likely to step into Gabia.
Roma fought back to beat Sampdoria 2-1 in their first game since March, thanks to a brace of Edin Dzeko volleys. Paulo Fonseca should rotate his squad, with Gianluca Mancini returning from injury, Cengiz Under and Lorenzo Pellegrini stepping in for Carles Perez and Javier Pastore.
Ante Rebic has scored 44 per cent of all Milan’s Serie A goals in 2020, seven out of a total 16.
He currently sits outside the top four spots with Giallorossi six point. One of them is Atalanta, who made a miraculous comeback in mid week to defeat the title challenger Lazio. A win in Match 28 is a must for Roma if they are to keep up the hopes of the great entertainers of Serie A.
Yet their opponents, and hosts, have a lot to play for. Stefano Pioli's Milan side are chasing a Europa League spot and Genoa will look to return to victory at home after a stunning 1-2 defeat at the hands of the last game at the San Siro.
