Roma vs AC Milan Predictions

• Eight of the last nine meetings between these two have seen both teams score
• Milan have scored twice or more in 14 of their last 15 away games
• Both teams have scored in eight of the visitors’ last nine trips

Milan face must-win trip

After Roma won 1-0 at San Siro last week, the pressure is on AC Milan in Thursday’s second leg. The Rossoneri need to get forward in order to get back into this tie, so they’ll hope their high-scoring run on the road can help them book a semi-final place.

Milan have scored at least twice in 14 of their last 15 away games across all competitions, winning 1-0 at Lazio at this stadium in the other. The Rossoneri had won home and away to Roma before Thursday’s loss, but that was their first meeting with Danielle Di Rossi’s in-form Giallorossi.

Roma have won three of their last four games, storming into the Champions League spots in Serie A while making the Europa League last eight. They’ll be comfortable with their first leg lead, allowing them to wait and counter a Milan side who have to get forward in this clash.

That adds an unusual dynamic to a clash between two of Italy’s top sides, one which should result in goals. The Rossoneri have seen both teams score in eight of their last nine away games and this certainly profiles as a more open game than the San Siro meeting.

Last week’s game is the only one of the last nine meetings between these two to finish without both teams scoring, so back goals in this second leg.
