Milan-Roma is a match valid for the 18th day of Serie A and is played on Sunday at 8:45 pm: stats, news, likely lineups, prediction, live TV, streaming.
Eighth-ranked AC Milan, 10th-ranked Roma. All this when there is one day left until the halfway mark. Rossoneri and Giallorossi cannot be satisfied with this first half of the season, extremely disappointing for both. The undoubtedly most critical situation is that of the Capitolini, who are trying to make up ground with the “cure” of an experienced and navigated coach, as well as a great connoisseur of the square, such as Claudio Ranieri.
There has been no real turnaround, but the trend is not the one of October and November: Roma has had four victories in the last five games between the league, Coppa Italia and Europa League, launching some encouraging signs. A week ago, Ranieri’s men reeled off 5 goals against Parma (two goals from Dybala), proving that the defeat seven days earlier in Como was merely an accident of the road. Or rather, a “side effect.” The standings, however, do not allow for any more breaks, especially if the goal is to get back into the Europe zone as soon as possible (Roma is currently -9 from seventh place). The Diavolo is in better shape – the Rossoneri have 26 points, with one match to make up – but Paulo Fonseca’s team – by the way, the Portuguese coach rejoins Roma, coached from 2019 to 2021 – has long since exited the Scudetto fight and is in danger of failing even the fourth-place goal. Milan did not shine even against a struggling opponent such as Verona (0-1): on the last day of the championship they came out on top against the Scaligeri thanks to a goal by Dutchman Reijnders, who once again confirmed himself as Fonseca’s man on the edge.
Milan-Roma: the latest news on formations
Fonseca will not be able to count on Leao, who will not return before the Super Cup, but he will find Morata again, recovered from tonsillitis. The Spanish striker will again position himself behind Abraham (another former of the match) and between Chukwueze and Jimenez, the latter moved forward. Absent Loftus-Cheek and Musah, the convalescent Pulisic and Bennacer will sit on the bench instead.
The only one unavailable, for Ranieri, is Cristante: his ankle problem persists and the Giallorossi midfielder did not leave for Milan. Still on the bench for Pellegrini: Dybala and El Shaarawy will act behind Dobvyk.

The Prediction
Last year Milan and Roma faced each other four times: the two league matches were both the prerogative of the Rossoneri, then the Giallorossi got their revenge by ousting the Diavolo from the Europa League. The statistical trend tells us that there has never been a shortage of goals in this challenge since October 2020, and it is likely that both sides will score this time as well. Roma have yet to win a game away from the Olimpico but are on the rise and could return from the San Siro with at least a point in their pocket.
The probable formations of Milan-Roma
MILAN (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Emerson Royal, Thiaw, Gabbia, Hernandez; Fofana, Reijnders; Chukwueze, Morata, Jimenez; Abraham.
ROME (3-4-2-1): Svilar; Mancini, Hummels, N’Dicka; Saelemaekers, Paredes, Koné, Angelino; Dybala, El Shaarawy; Dovbyk.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-1
