Roma v AC Milan

Roma vs AC Milan Preview

Roma face a tough upcoming fixture against AC Milan on Friday night in the Italian top flight despite holding home advantage at their Stadio Olimpico as not only have the hosts failed to win either of their opening two games of this new Serie A campaign, they will be up against the early league leaders, AC Milan, who have won both of their matches.

A 2-2 draw at home with Salernitana on the opening day of the new Serie A campaign was a disappointing result for Jose Mourinho's side but worse was to come as Roma were then handed a 2-1 defeat away from home at Verona last weekend, making it just one point from a possible six on offer so far this term.

Indeed, the bigger picture is not a rosy one for Roma fans as their side have managed to capture just one win from their previous 10 matches overall in the Italian top flight which came in the form of a 2-1 home win against Spezia on the final day of last season's campaign while the hosts have also slipped to four defeats within this period as well.

Goals could feature here though as no fewer than eight of Roma's last 10 league games have resulted in goals for both teams.

AC Milan will make their way to the Stadio Olimpico for Friday night's showdown with Roma in confident mood as the visitors have posted back-to-back wins in their opening two games of this new Serie A season by recording victories against Bologna 2-0 away from home before last weekend's 4-1 romp at home against Torino.

Having picked up maximum points from their opening two games of this season, AC Milan sit top of the early standings in the Serie A table and the visitors will be eager to make it three wins on the trot on Friday night at Roma's expense.

The visitors achieved a top four finish in last season's Serie A campaign and have therefore also qualified for this season's Champions League as well, but AC Milan will be keen to pick up another league win before the international break and their Champions League begins.

The signs are looking good for the Milan outfit to achieve just this as the visitors have now won their last five matches on the trot in the domestic top flight which includes an impressive and notable 1-0 win away from home at Juventus towards the end of last season.

Roma v AC Milan Verdict

AC Milan have held the upper hand in previous exchanges against Roma as the visitors have won three of the last six meetings but goals for both sides also look likely here as each of the previous six encounters have resulted in both teams scoring.
