AC Milan take on the visitors AS Roma in the first leg of UEFA Europa League quarterfinals. The match will be played on Thursday, April 11th at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan).
Milan did not plan a long-term collaboration with Pioli. The experienced, but not particularly successful mentor was called as acting, which was not hidden, with the expectation of quickly signing a contract with Rangnick. In the end, things didn’t work out with Ralph, but Stefano didn’t let him regret it. He immediately returned the Rossoneri to the leading group, and in 2022 he won the Scudetto with them. It was not even close to retaining the title last season, but the Italians reached the semi-finals in the Champions League. Now they were eliminated there already at the group stage, but everyone remembers how stubborn the fight was in the quartet with Newcastle, Borussia and PSG. The French eventually came second with equal points with the Italians, due to additional indicators. And Giroud and company, who at the same time improved in Calcio (there they beat Juventus and stayed second), went to the Europa League. There they have already beaten both Rennes and Slavia (Prague), securing an advantage for themselves due to a confident victory in the first, home match.

Roma are trying to save this year for themselves. Gialorossi have long dreamed of returning to the top quartet of Serie A and, accordingly, playing in the Champions League. And Mourinho, after several failures, needed to restore his reputation, and for this he willingly returned to Italy, where he was once so good at Inter. But the result of this promising cooperation was, in fact, only a victory in the Conference League (after all, the first international success for the Wolves). The mood and assessments of the Special One in the Italian capital could have been different if he had won the 2023 Europa League final – but there the Italians lost to Sevilla on penalties. In Serie A, they definitely did not see any progress, and constant misfires in the new season put an end to the Portuguese’s stay in Rome. It seems that the bosses of the yellow-red decided that the whole draw had already been filled up, so they simply entrusted the local legend, De Rossi, with the duties of a mentor until the summer. But he took advantage of the convenient calendar and sharply reduced the gap with the quartet of leaders in the championship. And in the Europa League, after Feyenoord’s nervous passage, on penalties after a pair of 1-1 draws, the Italians also dealt with Brighton, and unexpectedly easily: they defeated De Zerbi’s boys 4-0 at the Stadio Olimpico.
Rossoneri have not lost 9 head-to-head matches in a row: 6 wins and 3 draws. Already this season in Calcio they won 2-1 and 3-1. With all the progress of the wolves, there are no arguments in their favor at San Siro. We bet on the home team's success
Prediction for the match: AC Milan to win.
