Overview
AS Roma's 19-match unbeaten streak in Serie A (including 14 wins) had to end after a 1-2 defeat to Atalanta in round 36. This result also caused Roma to miss the opportunity to rise to 4th place. However, the chance to qualify for the Champions League is still uncertain for coach Claudio Ranieri's team.
However, with Juventus and Lazio 1 point behind, Roma need to make the most of it. A poor result against Milan could even see Roma fall out of the top 7. Remember, all scenarios can happen in the 2 rounds of the end of the match.
Since the beginning of 2025, Roma have won 43 points, kept 10 clean sheets and only conceded 10 goals. These are impressive achievements, but Milan are not an easy opponent to bully. Moreover, Roma have not known the taste of victory against Milan in the last 10 matches in Serie A.
For Milan, they also have a chance to compete for a ticket to the Champions League next season, although the possibility is very small. Before thinking about other results, coach Sergio Conceicao's team needs to focus all their efforts on the away trip to Roma. They need 3 points to keep their hopes of participating in the European Cup in the coming season alive.
With both teams having certain advantages, it is not ruled out the possibility that this match will end in a draw.
Personnel situation
AS Roma will not have the services of Lorenzo Pellegrini and Paulo Dybala as both will not be able to play.
On the other side of the front line, Samuel Chukwueze, Warren Bondo and Riccardo Sottil are all unable to play due to injury. Although no one was guaranteed to start from the start, the absence of many key players will limit the depth and options of Milan.
Expected lineup:
AS Roma: Svilar, Celik, Mancini, Ndicka, Rensch, Cristante, Kone, Angelino, Soule, Shomurodov, Dovbyk,
AC Milan: Maignan, Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic, Jimenez, Fofana, Reijnders, Hernandez, Pulisic, Leao, Gimenez.
The match between AS Roma and AC Milan takes place at 1:45 am on May 19 (Vietnam time).
