On January 8, San Siro (Milan) will host the match of the 17th round of the Serie A, in which Milan will compete with Roma. The battle will start at 20:45 CET.
Milan
The club finally succeeded, finishing the long-standing race for the Scudetto in the previous season. No matter that it didn’t happen on the first try, the fact is that Stefano Pioli managed to win the championship title. In general, “the Red and Blacks” have got pretty results even now. Unlike the last draw, the team got into the play-offs of the Champions League – as a result, there will be a duel against Tottenham at the end of winter. At the same time, the first 15 matches in the Serie A brought 10 victories and 33 points. The only problem is that, on the other hand, there is incredible Napoli with its almost perfect statistics. Having rested during the break, “the Rossoneri” started with an away match against Salernitana that ended with not the easiest, but still a 2-1 victory.
Roma
The team has got considerable ambitions, but, at the same time, is experiencing troubles with their confirmation. In 2020, Paulo Fonseca was lured away from Shakhtar for a huge sum of money, but he was unable to return “the Wolves” from the capital of Italy to the Champions League. The Portuguese specialist was replaced by his more status countryman, José Mourinho. But even with him there was only minimal progress in the inner arena, however, that progress was combined with a victory in the Conference League. Nowadays, the game of the team is far from the perfect one – “the Giallorossi”, having strengthened in the summer, won only 8 times in 15 matches of the first part of the season, which was not enough to meet the pause in the top four of the Serie A. It goes without saying they have to add in the game. The season resumed only on January 4, when Bologna arrived in the capital. That match brought a victory and 3 points to the hosts. But it was really difficult to enjoy the game: having scored on a penalty, the grandee left the initiative to its opponent, keeping a 1-0 score to the very end of the match.
The statistics of head-to-head matches
Milan has got 6 wins in 9 head-to-head matches, having been defeated only once. Moreover, 3 previous struggles with Roma were also victorious.
Predictions
Bookmakers are sceptical about the guests. Milan approached Napoli after the previous round, and does not want to slow down – we put on the victory of “the Rossoneri” (odd: 1.909).
