Roma travel to Milan, hoping to extend their perfect record on the road so far which has seen them win all four of their away matches this season.

Milan have lost just one of their nine matches under new coach, Massimiliano Allegri, so far this season as they look to recover from a really poor campaign last year.

📈 AC Milan v Roma Form & Tactics

Massimiliano Allegri has completely revolutionised the approach and attitude of AC Milan this season. The sleeping giants of Italian football failed to qualify for any European competition last year as they finished 8th in Serie A, prompting a serious revamp of the squad and coaching staff.

They’ve become very hard to beat, which is the same stubbornness that Allegri drilled into his Juventus side a few seasons ago.

AC Milan have lost just one of their nine games in Serie A this season, which was sustained against Cremonese on the opening weekend of the season. This tells us that Milan have been going from strength to strength since that defeat and can claim another huge scalp here, having already avoided defeat against Napoli, Atalanta and Juventus this season.

Roma are a much more entertaining side to watch now that they are under the tutelage of Gian Piero Gasperini. Gasperini has long been one of the most underrated managers in football and he deploys a front-footed philosophy that many will have become accustomed to from his time at Atalanta, where he won the Europa League a few seasons ago.

Roma’s main strength this season has been their impressive record on the road. They’ve won all four of their away matches, conceding just one goal across those games.

📔 AC Milan v Roma Formation & Team News

As part of Milan’s shake-up under Allegri, they’ve taken on a 3-5-2 shape, with the most intriguing part of this structure being the role of Rafael Leao.

Leao is usually deployed as a left winger, but with no such role available in this side, he’s been shifted to a striker role, which is suiting him at the moment - Leao has netted three goals across his five Serie A appearances this term, while maintaining the other strong aspects of his game.

The role of Luka Modric has also been interesting to track, with the 40-year-old still able to act as an important player for the Italian giants. He’s registered three goal contributions across his nine appearances in Serie A, with his most notable asset being his chance creation (2.29 chances created per 90).

Milan are expected to be without Fikayo Tomori for this encounter, as well as Christian Pulisic and Adrien Rabiot, which is a blow to Allegri as they're all players that were performing promisingly in the early weeks of the season. 

Roma will line up in a similar shape, with Gasperini preferring a 3-4-3 so far. The roles of Paulo Dybala and Matias Soule are crucial in this system, as supporting players just behind the striker. These are also the players that Gasperini is able to develop the most, as we saw with Ademola Lookman at Atalanta.
