Roma vs AC Milan

AC Milan are looking to crank up the pressure on the leaders when they travel to Roma for an Italian Serie A fixture on Sunday.

The Rossoneri are enjoying a solid campaign but have been a bit unconvincing on their recent travels. Meanwhile, the capital club often do their best work in front of their fans and are expected to maintain their good home form.

Roma Form

Roma can consider themselves in the title race, sitting seven points behind leaders Inter Milan. Gian Piero Gasperini's team have won four of their last five matches across all competitions and claimed a 2-0 victory at Torino last time out in Serie A.

The Stadio Olimpico is where Roma often do their best work, and they have won at least one half in seven of their last nine matches in front of their fans. They will head into this clash off the back of a 2-0 home victory over Stuttgart in a midweek UEFA Europa League match.

Roma have quality going forward and have scored first in four of their last five home matches across all competitions. However, they are without a clean sheet in six of their last 10 matches at the Stadio Olimpico.

AC Milan News

AC Milan are the closest challengers to Inter Milan as they sit just three points off the pace. They claimed a 1-0 home victory over Lecce in their previous Serie A fixture, with Niclas Fullkrug getting the only goal.

The Rossoneri's overall form has been solid lately, having gone unbeaten in eight of their last nine matches across all competitions. However, Massimiliano Allegri's team have been a bit unconvincing on their travels, with just four wins in their last 10 away matches.

Like the hosts, AC Milan have shown some attacking quality this season, scoring in seven of their last nine away matches. However, they are without a clean sheet in seven of those nine fixtures.

Head to Head

AC Milan have five wins while Roma have picked up four victories, with three draws in the last 12 matches. The Rossoneri claimed a 1-0 home victory in the reverse fixture, but the hosts are unbeaten in three of the last five meetings at the Stadio Olimpico.

Verdict

Roma v AC Milan

Roma are often fired up on home soil and will be feeling confident against AC Milan, who are unconvincing on the road. Having won at least one half in seven of their last nine home matches, the hosts could be set for a similar pattern.

Both teams have scored in five of their last six meetings, and a repeat is on the cards here. Roma have also grabbed the opening goal in four of their last five home matches, and that trend is expected to continue.
