Roma – Milan

Should we expect a goal shootout from the teams?

The teams have successfully made it through the European stages, but in the league, they have had very different results. Roma beat Feyenoord in the Europa League. "The Wolves lost on the road 1-0, but were able to convert the game at home thanks to a 2-1 extra-time win. El Shaarawy, on 101 minutes, and Pellegrini, on 109, sealed their place in the semi-finals. Four days later, the Giallorossi were at home to Bergamo in the league. Amid fatigue, Jose Mourinho's men lost 3-1 to Atalanta. Although, it should be noted, according to all the statistical indicators, the match was well worthy of a draw. The unfortunate news for Roma was Diego Llorente's injury. The defender injured his hamstring and is out for a fortnight. After this defeat, the Romans dropped to fifth place in the standings. They have 56 points on their books and are just two points clear of their nearest pursuer. Milan are one place up and with the same number of points. "The Rossoneri managed to beat Napoli in the Champions League quarter-finals. After a home win, the Devils split the away points, although they led 0-1 until 90+3 minutes. Stefano Pioli's side face Lecce in the league. Without the suspended Davide Calabria, Milan got a comfortable 2-0 win. Leao, who has picked up a great form, netted a double. However, only a huge class difference with Lecce allowed the Italian side to keep their goal locked. A more skillful side would have converted their chances. In the context of this prediction, it's important to note a particular feature of the recent encounters between the opponents. In five games, the teams have exchanged goals without fail. In ten games, this has only happened twice. It is worth mentioning that Roma have scored in every home game this year. There have been 13 such games (in all competitions) and 26 goals. Milan, on the other hand, have only failed to score once in the past five away games (against Tottenham). "The Rossoneri have most recently scored four goals against Napoli. The first leg ended in a 2-2 draw. It's very likely that the clubs will now find opportunities to put each other out of their misery.
