Roma vs AC Milan Prediction & Match Preview

Roma vs AC Milan Match Preview

AC Milan will chase a one-goal deficit in the second leg of the all-Italian UEFA Europa League quarter-final tie against Roma. The match is scheduled for Thursday evening at Stadio Olimpico.

• Eight of AC Milan’s last nine away matches in all competitions saw the Over 2.5 goals & Both Teams To Score option coming in.
• The Rossoneri go into this off the back of a 3-3 stalemate at Sassuolo.
• Olivier Giroud is AC Milan’s top scorer this season with 13 goals in 29 Serie A appearances.

Roma found an early opener seven days ago at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. While AC Milan dominated the pitch in the following minutes, the Rossoneri just couldn’t find the much-wanted equalizer. They fired 25 shots on the occasion. The tie is by no means closed, though. Stefano Pioli’s men are more than capable of producing in the final third on travels.

The problem for Pioli is the fact that his team shipped three goals in the weekend’s away draw at relegation-threatened Sassuolo in the Serie A game. Roma had their game against Udinese suspended ahead of the final ten minutes after Evan Ndicka’s shocking collapse. The Lupa are four points shy of Bologna in fourth place but they have a game in hand now.

Recent Meetings

• Roma terminated a nine-game winless thread in the clashes against AC Milan with a 1-0 victory seven days ago at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
• AC Milan had previously won both home and away outings against the Lupa in this term of Serie A.
• Last week’s game also ended a run of eight straight games in which both Roma and AC Milan scored.

Roma vs AC Milan Prediction

Daniele De Rossi can be thrilled with the obvious improvements in his team’s defensive displays. The last week’s win in Milano marked the team’s fourth subsequent clean sheet in all competitions. This run came to an end when Udinese bagged an early goal past Roma on Sunday. As good as their defence is, we sincerely doubt that Roma can keep hold of AC Milan’s stars once again.

The Rossoneri have scored at least two goals in each of the last five outings across competitions, excluding the mentioned tie with Roma. Stefano Pioli’s men play particularly attacking football on travels. Eight of their last nine away games in all competitions saw the Over 2.5 goals & Both Teams To Score option coming in. We will back goals at both ends for this match too at the 1.70 odds.

Olivier Giroud was rested in the weekend’s stalemate at Sassuolo. He is AC Milan’s top scorer this season with 13 goals in 29 Serie A matches. Giroud should lead the line on Thursday. AC Milan need goals to get back into this tie. We like the attractive 3.10 odds offered for the big Frenchman to score anytime at Stadio Olimpico.
