Title contenders AC Milan and Roma will lock horns this Sunday at the iconic San Siro in an important Serie A clash that can create an impact on the table.

Roma are currently tied on the same points as league leaders Napoli. A win for them will not only put pressure on pressure on the leaders but could potentially see them move to the top of the table. Meanwhile , Milan will hope to catch up on points with a win at home.

4th-placed AC Milan, under Massimiliano Allegri, have shown that they can compete for the league if they stay consistent. They have been unbeaten in their last 5 matches, including 3 draws and 2 wins. 

​The Rossoneri were only able to earn a point in their visit to Atalanta as Ademola Lookman scored the equalizer for the home team. Millan only had one shot on target in that match, which produced their goal. This shows that the team’s attack will need to be more lethal if they aim to remain on course for the title race.

Meanwhile, Roma has had a more enjoyable spell in the season so far. Gasperini’s team has garnered 21 points from matches, the same as Napoli, who tops the table entering match day 10. 

The visitors won Parma 2-1 last weekend, and this result will have a positive impact on the team heading into this fixture. The Giallorossi have also conceded the fewest number of goals this season (4). This means that Milan will have much to do in order to hurt the away team.

Allegri has a fresh injury concern as Santiago Giménez was injured in midweek and will join Christian Pulisic who is also out. Other than that, the Milan team is near full-strength and ready for this match. 

The team will rely on the creativity of veteran midfielder Luka Modric to create chances for the attackers. Rafael Leao and former Chelsea player Christopher Nkunku will lead the attack and trouble the visiting defenders. 

On the other hand, Roma stars Evan Ferguson and E. Bove will not be part of the team travelling to San Siro to face Milan. However, Dybala is back and will be leading the team for a chance to pick up at least a point away from home. The coach will also be motivated by the prospect of going top of the table in case Napoli drops points.
