AS Roma take on AC Milan this week

The Serie A is back in action with another set of matches this week as AC Milan take on AS Roma on Thursday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will want to win this game.

AS Roma are in sixth place in the Serie A standings and have been fairly inconsistent this season. The Giallorossi were held to a 1-1 draw by Sampdoria last month and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.

AC Milan, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been leapfrogged by Inter Milan over the past month. The Rossoneri defeated Empoli by a 4-2 margin in their previous league game and will want a similar result this week.

AC Milan vs AS Roma Prediction

AC Milan have suffered a discernible slump in recent weeks and will need to work hard to give Inter Milan a run for their money this season. The Rossoneri have grown in stature under Stefano Pioli and will look to win the league title this season.

AS Roma have improved some aspects of their game under Jose Mourinho but have been plagued by inconsistency over the past year. AC Milan have been the better team this season and should be able to win this game.

Prediction: AC Milan 2-1 AS Roma
