This Sunday afternoon brings us an epic Serie A dogfight between 2nd place Roma and 4th place AC Milan. Milan have gone unbeaten in their last 9 competitions yet they still sit 3 points behind the talented I Giallorossi, a side who has proven to be a force to be reckoned with this season.
Roma has won 3 of their last 5 confrontations (excluding friendlies) against the Rossoneri, including their most recent 3-1 Serie A win in May 2025. However, the Yellow and Reds tasted defeat 2 games in a row starting with a 1-0 loss to Inter on October 18, before falling 2-1 to Viktoria Plzen in Europa League. They bounced back in Serie A with a 1-0 win over Sassuolo and recent 2-1 win over Parma, showing high hopes in continuing their 1st place crusade tonight, as a win this afternoon would put them at 24 points, whereas a win for Milan would would let them over take their Italian counterparts at 21 points.
AC Milan look to break a two-game tying spell, with their last match ending 1-1 against the Champions League participants of Atalanta at Gewiss Stadium. Milan's leading goal scoer (4 goals and 2 assists in 6 matches) Christian Pulisic, will not play this matchup to mitigate further injuring his hamstring. Hopefully, Rafael Leao will see playtime tonight after recovering from hip inflammation, as he will be a crucial factor for Milan's offense with 3 goals on the season, along with top assister Luka Modric (2 assists).
Roma head to the San Siro after holding on to a 2-1 against Parma where they fired off 16 shots, 6 on target, with 61% possession. Eyes will be locked on Matias Soule this afternoon, the Roma forward with 3 goals and 2 assists to his name this season, although Artem Dovbyk has been quite reliable as well, with 2 goals so far.
Goals may not come as often as we hoped in this classic rivalry with an expected Under 2.5 goals set at -155. Milan is slightly favored at +110 with their home San Siro advantage, with Rafael Leao your projected highest anytime goal scorer at +220, followed by Santiago Gimenez at +240.
