📈 Roma v AC Milan Form & Tactics
It’s been a mixed season so far for Roma; they’ve had some teething issues under new manager Gaperino, but they are putting some steps in the right direction. The big surprise has been Roma’s lack of effectiveness in front of goal, scoring just 26 goals in 21 Serie A games, a stark contrast to Gasperini’s Atalanta side.
However, Roma still occupy 4th position in the league, three points clear of Juventus, and Champions League football is still a very realistic prospect. Funnily enough, Roma are yet to draw a match this season; their last seven league games have resulted in five wins and two defeats.
AC Milan are enjoying a decent season; they currently sit 2nd in the league and three points behind their Milan rivals, Inter. There’s plenty of breathing room between them and 5th-placed Juventus, a whole seven points, so Champions League is also looking like a realistic eventuality for AC Milan.
The visitors have only lost one match in the league this season, during the first game of the season against Cremonese. Avoiding defeat against all their title rivals could give them a psychological edge in the second half of the season. Their last ten Serie A games have resulted in seven wins and three draws.
📔 Roma v AC Milan Formation & Team News
Gasperini has transformed Roma into a high-intensity, 3-4-2-1 system which focuses on aggressive pressing, wide overloads, and defensive solidity. Defenders often follow opponents deep into midfield, compressing the space and allowing them to win the ball high up the pitch.
The wing-backs play very high, acting as wide forwards, with the attacking midfielders playing a crucial role in drifting wide to link up with the wing-backs, creating overloads and crossing opportunities. Central defenders are tasked with carrying the ball forward aggressively and catalyzing their attacking phases.
Roma do have some injury problems with Angelino, Tomasso Baldanzi, Artem Dovbyk, El Shaarawy, and Mario Hermoso missing.
Massimiliano Allegri’s tactics centre on a 3-4-3 formation, which can sometimes be interchangeable with a 5-3-2 formation. Defensive stability, high-intensity pressing, and rapid transitions are cornerstones of their approach.
Luka Modric is employed as the central creativity pivot, while leveraging the speed and directness of Rafael Leao to spearhead counterattacking situations. AC Milan aim to stay narrow and compact out of possession, often reverting to a 5-4-1 out of possession, forcing opponents into wide areas and limiting space in the central areas of the pitch.
AC Milan currently have Santiago Gimenez out injured, while Ardon Jashari and Alexis Saelemaekers are injury question marks coming into this one.
