It has been a miserable campaign in Serie A to this point for Roma, but they could transform their season with a victory over AC Milan this Sunday.
Confidence around the camp would have improved in recent weeks after recording successive wins, which includes a success by a five-goal margin over Parma last Sunday.
However, Milan come into this round of matches after losing just once in their last five. A much-needed win was recorded last weekend to keep the Italian giants within sight of the Champions League places.
