AC Milan take on the visitors AS Roma in the round 17 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, January 8th at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan).
Milan are the reigning champions of the country. And this long-awaited title was returned to them by Stefano Pioli, who took the post, in fact, by accident and at first was only a temporary worker. Yes, there were failures, for example, in 2020/2021 the race for the Scudetto was eventually lost to Inter - but it was all the more pleasant to take revenge. Now, too, there are some successes. So, the Italians, unlike last season, were able to get into the playoffs of the Champions League. Yes, and in Calcio they are quite cheerfully gaining points, having won in the first segment, from August to November, 2/3 of the matches, 10 out of 15. But the incredible Napoli leaves the Rossoneri in the status of catching up. However, so far the gap does not look hopeless, so in the winter you need to fight to reduce this distance, or at least not increase it.

Roma are not considered the top club in Italian football, but still used to position themselves as one of the leaders. And they confirmed this at least by the fact that they were almost a regular in the Champions League, and periodically staged sensations there even at the level of the spring playoffs. So far the progress is insufficient under José Mourinho. Everyone understood that Special One in Rome should restore the reputation - both personal and of his current wards. But the 2021/2022 season could only be called successful because of the Conference League won. The progress turned out to be small, and now, having signed Dybala and other stars, Jalorossi remain behind the competitors. After an indistinct autumn, with 8 wins and 27 points after 15 matches, Roma resumed the championship with hosting of Bologna. They managed to win after open the score already in the 6th minute, when Pellegrini converted a penalty.
Of the last 9 head-to-head matches, Roma won only 1, and that was in 2018. After that, Milan won four times and only once ended the game with the Wolves in a draw, 3-3. Experts consider Milan to be the favorite of the confrontation. But it will be a frankly difficult fight, especially since Mourinho will obviously try, first of all, not to lose. We recommend betting on the final “under 2.5 goals”.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
