Milan vs Roma Predictions and Betting Tips
The League leaders look to hold their place at the top of the table as they welcome the capital club to the San Siro Stadium. Games between these two Italian giants have proved to be highly-entertaining games for mutual and supporters alike. This one isn't expected to be any different with both sides firing in all cylinders. Who gets the three points on show for this one?
Both teams are well on par with regards to their head-to-head, with sixteen wins each in 48 meetings. However, it is to be noted for the last four meetings, whoever is home hasn't lost. This has been ongoing since Milan beat Roma at the Stadio Olimpico back in the 2017/18 season. The most recent meeting ended in a 2-0 win for the Rossoneri via goals from Calhanoglu and Rebic. Will they be able to replicate the same performance this Monday?
Pioli's troops on the rise
Milan is slowly convincing the football world that they're worthy of being called title contenders as they lead the way atop the standings. Pioli and his boys have been nothing but perfect in the four league games played, winning all four with nine goals scored and just one conceded. It is also to be noted that they've won every single one of the games they've played this season. How long will they keep up this impressive run of form?
They recorded a monumental victory in their most recent game against their local rivals Internazionale. Two quickfire goals from Zlatan was enough to seal all three points for as they went on to win their fourth straight league win of the season. The Italian outfit also got off to the best possible start in their UEL group stage opener besting Celtic on the night. With that, the 2020/21 season might just be the year for the Milan faithful.
Decent run of form for the capital club
Since their controversial loss gains Hellas Verona on the opening weekend, the capital club seems to have bounced back pretty well. As it stands, they're heading into this game unbeaten in four games, with only one of those games ending in a stalemate. As a result, they occupy 7th place on the league standings after four round of fixtures.
They comfortably got the better of Benevento in their previous league game as they ran out 5-2 winners. Fonseca and his troops followed that up with a 2-1 win away at Young Boys in their UEL group stage opener. Will they make it three wins on the bounce as they head over to Milan?
