Prediction: 1-1
Milan
There will be fireworks when Roma and Milan square off against each other at Stadio Olimpico in the Serie A derby on Friday evening. The Giallorossi aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Verona, but they face a tough challenge against the Rossoneri. Summer signing Houssem Aouar is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute at the weekend, while all Tammy Abraham, Marash Kumbulla, and Renato Sanches are out of contention with injuries.
The visitors, on the other hand, kicked off the new Serie A campaign with back-to-back wins over Bologna and Torino, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in the “Eternal City”. Since both sides are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the Serie A derby, we are tempted to put our money on under 2.5 goals. Midfielder Ismael Bennacer is out of contention with a knee injury, but he should be the only absentee in the away side.
