Match Analysis

Both teams enter this matchup in solid form. Roma have been on a winning streak, securing victories in their last three matches without conceding a single goal. They've recently triumphed over Torino and Lecce away, and Sassuolo at home, each with a 2-0 scoreline. This defensive solidity is reflected in their average of 0.4 goals conceded per game over the last five matches, along with three clean sheets. Offensively, Roma averages 1.6 goals per game, supported by an expected goals figure of 1.77. Milan, meanwhile, have also displayed a string of positive results, with two wins and a draw in their last three fixtures. They managed a narrow 1-0 victory against Lecce and a convincing 3-1 win against Como, with a 1-1 draw at Fiorentina rounding out their recent performances. Milan's attack is slightly more potent, averaging 1.8 goals per game, although their defense is marginally less secure, conceding an average of 0.8 goals per match. Their expected goals scored and conceded are nearly balanced, indicating a well-rounded team performance.

Final Prediction

Roma's recent defensive resilience gives them a slight advantage in this matchup, particularly playing at home where they have been quite formidable. Milan's attack will need to breach a well-organized Roma defense that has proven difficult to break down. One key factor to watch is whether Roma can continue their streak of clean sheets, which could be pivotal in deciding the outcome of this game.
