Prediction: 1-0
AS Roma
There will be fireworks when Milan and Roma square off against each other in the Serie A derby. The Rossoneri kicked off 2023 in style, with the team beating Salernitana 2-1 on the road, but they do not want to stop now as they are still five points behind league leaders Napoli in the standings. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be pacey Portugal winger Rafael Leao, who scored his seventh goal of the season in midweek, whereas all Fode Ballo, Ante Rebic, Divock Origi, Alessandro Florenzi, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic remain in the recovery room.
The Giallorossi, on the other hand, recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Bologna on Wednesday evening to stay in the Champions League race. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Milan are on a four-game winning run at Stadio San Siro. Tammy Abraham is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, whereas both Andrea Belotti and Georginio Wijnaldum remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Sandro Tonali):
After starting his youth career at Piacenza back in 2009, Sandro Tonali moved to Brescia three years later. The 181-cm-tall defender has been playing for le Rondinelle ever since and it has to be noted that he made his debut with the Stadio Mario Rigamonti outfit on August 26, 2017 in a 2-1 defeat to Avellino.
Sandro Tonali scored his first ever league goal for Brescia in a 4-2 loss to Salernitana on April 28, 2018. The talented midfielder, who was born in Lodi on May 8, 2000, represents Italy U21 team in international matches.
He made his debut with the Italy U21 national team on June 19, 2019 in a 1-0 defeat to Poland. His main position is defensive midfielder, but he is used as a central midfielder as well. Sandro’s preferred foot is right and his contract with Brescia should expire on June 30, 2021.
Highlighted Team (AS Roma):
AS Roma is a professional football club based in Rome. Roma were founded by a merger in 1927 and they play in the Italian Serie A. Roma’s fiercest rivals are Lazio and it has to be noted that both capital clubs play their home games at Stadio Olimpico.

The colour of Roma’s shirts is imperial purple with a golden yellow trim. A number of top-class footballers were part of Roma in the past, but Francesco Totti is undisputedly the club’s biggest legend.The Prince of Rom made his 601 appearances for Roma on 14 May, 2016 when the Giallorossi recorded a 3-1 win over Milan at Stadio San Siro.
