The Stadio Giuseppe Meazza provides the venue for this tasty clash on Monday night which features the encounter between AC Milan and Roma who both have designs on a top four finish at the end of thus season’s Serie A campaign.
It’s been a fantastic start to this new season for Monday night’s hosts, AC Milan, as Stefano Pioli’s side possess a 100% winning record so far in these early weeks of this new Italian top flight season having collected wins against Bologna, Crotone, Spezia and most impressive of all, their recent 2-1 victory over fierce derby rivals, Inter Milan, last weekend.
In addition, AC Milan have also produced some impressive wins and momentum on the European stage as they’ve won all four of their Europa League ties to date and they come into this upcoming clash against Roma on the back of a solid 3-1 win away from home at Celtic in Glasgow during the week.
Returning to domestic form, AC Milan are unbeaten in their last eight matches at their Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, winning seven of these and not only includes four clean sheets but their last meeting at home against Roma ended in a solid 2-0 win for the hosts.
Roma also recorded a midweek win away from home in the Europa League as they registered an important 2-1 win on the road in Switzerland against Young Boys.
Therefore the visitors will also be upbeat about their chances in Monday night’s clash in Serie A.
That win in Switzerland became Roma’s third win on the trot in all competitions as they’d previously collected wins against Udinese and Benevento on the domestic front where they’ve suffered just one defeat to date this term.
Roma’s solitary loss this season was a heavy 3-0 defeat away from home at Hellas Verona but they steadied the ship immediately afterwards by holding Juventus to a 1-1 draw on home turf at their Stadio Olimpico.
The visitors have also won five of their last six matches on their travels in Serie A which includes a notable 3-1 win at Juventus towards the end of last season but they’ve lost their last two visits to Milan in 2-0 and 2-1 losses respectively and they’ll be up against an in-form and confident AC Milan outfit on Monday night.
