AS Roma hosts AC Milan at the Stadio Olimpico this Sunday night for a crucial Serie A showdown, as both clubs battle for crucial three points in the chase towards the top of the Serie A.
The hosts are eyeing a fifth shutout in their last six games, while the visitors seek to prolong their impressive unbeaten streak and keep pressure on the top of the table.
Roma notched a 2-0 win at Torino, highlighted by Matías Soulé’s goal and assist, with Dybala sealing the scoreline. They followed that with another 2-0 triumph against VfB Stuttgart in the Europa League, claiming victory in four of their past five games across competitions — all with clean sheets preserved.
AS Roma team news
Since appointing Gian Piero Gasperini, Roma have thrived, earning praise from AC Milan’s Massimiliano Allegri for their renewed danger. Absences include Mario Hermoso, forward Artem Dovbyk, and Stephan El Shaarawy due to injuries; Gianluca Mancini and Evan Ferguson picked up knocks in the Stuttgart Europa League clash.
Yet, recent addition Donyell Malen — loaned from Aston Villa with a €25m buy obligation — could feature up top instead of Ferguson, building on his strong Serie A bow versus Torino where he netted early and linked well with Paulo Dybala.
AS Roma predicted lineup
Possible AS Roma starting XI: Svilar; Mancini, Ndicka, Ghilardi; Celik, Cristante, Kone, Wesley; Soule, Dybala; Malen
