AC Milan - AS Roma Predictions

Prediction: AC Milan or draw
Best odds: 1.32

As the anticipation builds for the upcoming showdown at the iconic Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milano, Serie A enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the clash between AC Milan and AS Roma. With predictions hinting at a potential victory or at least a draw for the home side, the stage is set for a thrilling encounter in the heart of Italian football.

Key Players - AC Milan

AC Milan's success this season has been a team effort, but a few standouts have made significant contributions. Noah Arinzechukwu Okafor, a sprightly attacker, has been a revelation with 3 goals to his name, proving his worth with 6 shots on target from 9 attempts. His agility and sharpness upfront could be a deciding factor against Roma's defense.

The defense is anchored by Jan-Carlo Šimić, whose rating of 6.83 reflects his reliability at the back. He's not just a barrier for opponents but has also contributed a goal, demonstrating his aerial threat on set-pieces.

Midfielder Ruben Ira Loftus-Cheek has been the engine room for Milan, with an impressive 343 passes to his name, including 11 key passes, and has chipped in with a goal and an assist. His ability to control the tempo could be crucial in the midfield battle.

Key Players - AS Roma

For AS Roma, Renato Júnior Luz Sanches, with a rating of 6.62, has been instrumental in the midfield. His vision and passing ability, which includes 3 key passes, have been vital in transitioning from defense to attack.

Upfront, Sardar Azmoun has been the focal point of Roma's attack. With his 2 shots on target and a goal to his name, he'll be looking to exploit any gaps in Milan's defense.

Defensive duties for Roma are partly handled by Rasmus Nissen Kristensen, whose rating of 6.75 and 1 assist from the backline showcase his dual threat as a defender and a contributor to the team's forward play.

Recent Form

AC Milan has been in a relatively positive vein of form, with their last five games reflecting a resilient team capable of bouncing back: WDWLW. Their home record is particularly impressive, with 7 wins out of 9 games, which could spell trouble for Roma.

AS Roma, on the other hand, has been a bit more inconsistent with a recent record of WLDWW. Their away form has been a concern, with only 2 wins out of 8 games, suggesting that they might find it challenging to take all three points back to Rome.

Head-to-Head History

The head-to-head encounters between these two teams have been closely contested. The most recent match on September 1, 2023, saw AC Milan triumph over AS Roma with a 2-1 victory. Prior to that, the teams drew 1-1 on April 29, 2023, and another draw of 2-2 earlier in the year on January 8, 2023. This history indicates a tight match-up, with Milan having a slight edge.

Prediction

Taking into account the recent form, head-to-head history, and key player performances, the prediction leans towards a win or draw for AC Milan. With a 66.8% total percent home advantage according to the data, and a strong home record, Milan is poised to maintain their position at the top of the league. The predictions also suggest a low-scoring affair, with less than 2.5 goals for the home team and less than 1.5 for the away team.

In conclusion, this match promises to be a tactical battle with both teams showcasing their strengths. However, the edge goes to AC Milan, who are predicted to either secure a win or at least hold AS Roma to a draw, bolstering their Champions League promotion aspirations.
