Milan vs Roma prediction and betting tips on April 11, 2024
The inexorable fate has brought together in one quarter-final pair of the Europa League two Italian teams - Milan and Roma. The first match of this confrontation will take place in Milan at the "San Siro" on the nearest Thursday. Here's the prediction for this match from the team of experts at Dailysports.
Milan
The "Rossoneri" began their European campaign in the Champions League, yet found themselves in a highly challenging group, finishing only in third place, yielding to PSG and Borussia Dortmund. Moving down a tier in the tournament, Milan encountered no difficulties against French side Rennes (3-0 at home and 2-3 away) nor against Prague's Slavia in the round of 16 (4-2 at the "San Siro" and 3-1 in Prague).
In the Italian Serie A, the "Red Devils" sit in second place, albeit the prospect of contending for the championship is now off the table. Inter leads their neighbors by 14 points and is already preparing to don the golden medals. Milan's main objective in the league is to secure their spot in the top four. Fortunately, they are comfortably ahead of the fifth-placed team by 13 points. In the last round, Milan convincingly defeated Lecce at home with a score of 3-0.
Roma
The "She-Wolf" encountered fairly accommodating opponents in the group stage of the Europa League with Prague's Slavia, Swiss side Servette, and Moldovan team Sheriff. Nonetheless, Roma only managed to secure second place in the group, yielding to Slavia. Consequently, the Romans had to play additional matches in the round of 32 against Dutch side Feyenoord, whom they managed to overcome only in a penalty shootout.
However, they had no trouble against Brighton - the "Yellow-Reds" demolished their opponent at home with a score of 4-0 and allowed themselves to lose with the minimum score away. Heading into the match against Milan, Daniele De Rossi's team comes off a derby victory over Lazio (1-0). Currently, Roma occupies fifth place in the league table, trailing fourth-placed Bologna by just three points.
