AC Milan vs AS Roma Prediction & Betting Tips (29 December)

Having returned to the forefront in recent years, AC Milan has so far disappointed this season to the point of having been left behind by the teams playing in Europe. Worse still, the residents of San Siro are already 8 points behind the top 4 qualifying for the Champions League. In C1 precisely, Paulo Fonseca's players are still in the race to try to immediately reach the 1/8th finals after their success against Red Star Belgrade 2-1. To return to the championship, the Rossoneri lost further points by losing to Atalanta 2-1 then conceding a draw against Genoa 1-1. Mike Maignan's partners then rediscovered the taste of success by winning on the field of Hellas Verona 0-1 last week.

Roma, for its part, is doing even worse than its opponent of the day this year. Completely left behind by the competition in the race for Europe after a disastrous start to the season, the Louve club has been trying to save the furniture since the arrival of Claudio Ranieri on the bench. And the results are starting to follow for this team which won 2 of its last 3 league matches against Lecce 4-1, Como defeat 2-0 and Parma 5-0 last weekend. At the same time, the Romans did the job by winning quite comfortably against Sampdoria in the 1/8 finals of the Italian Cup last week 4-1.

The Rossoneri still cannot count on the services of the influential Pulisic (5 goals and 4 assists in SA), potentially starting midfielders Loftus-Cheek and Musah, from the striker replacing Okafor and long-term absentees Florenzi, Bennacer and Jovic. In addition to this, the center forward captain of La Roja, Morata (4 goals), also had to join the infirmary in recent days. Same observation for the intermittent Leao (3 goals and 4 assists in SA).

On the other hand, the English striker Abraham (2 goals in SA, 2 in C1) is there as is the Dutchman Reijnders (4 goals), sole scorer against Verona last weekend.
