AC Milan vs AS Roma Prediction & Tips
Delayed by four points from leaders Inter, Stefano Pioli’s AC Milan restart in pursuit of their cousins but are awaited by the delicate challenge against José Mourinho’s Roma on the first return match of Serie A 2021/2022. After missing the victory against Udinese (1-1) and Napoli (0-1), Milan had closed the previous year with a 4-2 victory in Empoli. A victory that had given back morale after a decidedly negative December. From 4 December, the date of the 3-0 home defeat against the aforementioned Inter, Roma had instead obtained three consecutive victories between the Conference League and the championship before ending their 2021 with the 1-1 home league against Sampdoria. The Giallorossi are in the running to return to the top four of the class and aim for a Champions League position. Milan, unbeaten in 4 matches in a row against Roma, deal with Pellegri and Plizzari injuries while Kjaer finished his season early. In Rome the only injured at the time of writing is always Spinazzola, while Borja Mayoral tested positive for Covid-19.
AC Milan have achieved 3 wins and 1 draw in their last 4 matches against Roma.
Roma have scored at least 2 goals in 8 of their last 10 away matches in the league.
There have been 3 Over 2.5 in the last direct matches.
In all of Milan’s last 7 matches, at least one goal has always been scored in the first half of the game.
Milan are favorites in this challenge and can take advantage of the home factor, but on the other side of the fence there is a Roma who travels with an average of 2 goals per away game. These data combined with the uncertainty of the recovery after the break make us evaluate the possibility of a fourth Over 2.5 in a row between Milan and Rome.
