Both Milan and Roma are coming off nasty losses in the Italian Cup. Atalanta eliminated the Rosonerri, while on the other side, Roma suffered a defeat against its biggest enemy – Lazio.
Before Betting on Milan vs. Roma
Milan snapped a six-game defeatless streak at home. Atalanta was better in the Italian Cup quarterfinals, 1-2, ending Milan’s three-match winning row. This wasn’t expected, and before the event, Rosonerri stood as a solid favorite, according to the bookies.
When playing at San Siro, the former European champs are very confident, winning in six of the last seven appearances. Five of those meetings ended with over 2.5 goals, and Milan’s efficiency has been fantastic – 11 hits over the last 360 minutes.
Roma is in problems, and that is evident. They have numerous issues with injuries, and above that, Mourinho decided to throw young Dean Huijsen in the fire right away. That had a cost because he handed the penalty to Lazio on Wednesday night. That was the moment when the Eagles took the lead and never looked back.
Il Luppi is terrible on the road, with only one win in the last seven outings. To make it even worse, they only managed to score twice during this stretch, signaling that Lukaku and Dybala aren’t in some particularly great form. Something is missing in Roma’s lineup, and even Mourinho hasn’t solved that puzzle yet.

Even though numbers suggest that we should bet on Milan, we aren’t going to do that because of Mourinho and his experience in these events. It is much safer to take under 2.5 goals because Il Lupi comes with defensive-minded tactics in Milan, and we doubt that the hosts have enough power to impose a more open play style.
