AS Roma Team News
Daniele De Rossi’s team has achieved a commendable undefeated streak in their last four matches, securing victory three times and drawing once. However, their momentum was abruptly halted after defender Evan Ndicka unexpectedly collapsed on the field, forcing a halt to the match against Udinese 15 minutes before the end with the score tied at 1-1.
Nonetheless, a sense of relief envelops the Giallorossi camp as reports indicate Ndicka’s steady recovery, allowing Roma to redirect their energy towards the fervent pursuit of securing a spot in the Europa League semifinals.
Following a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Milan at the legendary San Siro, Roma finds itself on the brink of history, aiming for their second continental triumph in the past decade, building upon their conquest of the Conference League in the 2021/22 season.
Bolstered by a resolute defense that has conceded only one goal in their previous five outings, Roma remains poised for progression, despite the shadow cast by a narrow defeat to Milan at the Olimpico with a score of 1-2 in the 3rd round of Serie A, a result that undoubtedly sparked anxiety among the faithful Giallorossi supporters.
AC Milan Team News
Meanwhile, Milan’s determination shines amidst the turbulence, showcased in their thrilling away clash against Sassuolo in the previous Serie A round, which ended in a 3-3 draw. This demonstrated the Rossoneri’s indomitable spirit to stage a comeback from being two goals down on two separate occasions. While defensive vulnerabilities were evident, Milan’s attacking prowess rose to the occasion. However, this was not the case in the first leg of the quarterfinals against Roma.
With an impressive undefeated streak at the Olimpico in their last four visits to face Roma, securing three wins and one draw, Milan exudes confidence in their ability to mount a comeback. Additionally, their performance away against Italian opponents in European competitions is commendable, with just one defeat in the previous six encounters, securing two victories and three draws.
However, Milan’s Achilles’ heel manifests in their struggles to progress through two-legged knockout ties in continental competitions, particularly evident in their recent duel when they suffered a defeat in the first leg at San Siro.

AS Roma vs AC Milan Prediction
Although Milan displayed dominance in the first leg, the Rossoneri failed to capitalize on their chances. Expectations are high that Pioli’s side will fight for goals in the return leg, especially if Roma manages to score early. On the other hand, Roma will once again look to exploit Milan’s defensive vulnerabilities to edge closer to securing a spot in the semifinals.
Adding to this, eight out of the last nine encounters between these two teams have ended with goals scored by both sides. This combination seems like a promising choice for their upcoming showdown at the Olimpico.
