Roma will have another big match and the opponent is very strong, AC Milan. Roma don't have good head to head record against AC Milan and the record is worse at San Siro, AC Milan's home stadium.
They will play this match at San Siro with another disadvantage, without Mourinho on the pitch.
AC Milan can win this match and continue to secure their third position as well as wait for two leading teams with not good results and hope that they can join Scudetto race again. AS Roma, if losing this match, will fall farther behind some competitors in top four competition.
I think it will be the game of no more possible comeback for both teams.
If Mila loses, they will be probably out of the Scudetto race.
If Roma loses, they will probably be out from the champions league spot race.
Milan is 9 points adrift of standings leader Inter Milan, it is still possible for Pioli fleet to reduce the point difference, but that means Milan has to wait for Inter to lose in his three matches. Juventus is Inter closest competitor for now, and I think the second half of the season will still be the same. It is also feared that Milan still will lose points if they face fellow big clubs in the second half of the season, in that case I think Juventus is better than Milan in the race to win the Scudetto.
Roma has a great opportunity to penetrate the UCL zone, they are only 4 points away from Fiorentina at the moment. But we know Roma will travel to San Siro to kick off their campaign in the second half of the season, where I believe they will drop points. Automatically their intention to get into the top four is postponed again, but that is just a personal assumption. Maybe the opposite is true, we'll see how this meeting ends.
On the other hand, Milan clearly has an advantage due to acting as host, and in the last 5 matches Milan has only lost 1 time and 1 draw. Meanwhile, Roma experienced 2 defeats, 2 draws and only 1 win. Maybe from these statistics it can clearly give us an idea if we want to bet, Milan deserves to be superior.
