Roma will look to build up on the first-leg win over Milan as a semi-final berth in the Europa League awaits these two Italian giants.

Match Stats

Roma followed the 1-0 win in the first leg with a game against Udinese in Serie A, which was suspended at 1-1 after Evan Ndicka collapsed in the 72nd minute. He was taken off on a stretcher but is on the road to recovery and out of danger. Roma would like to confirm their progression in this tournament to lift their spirits. Having won eight of their last 11 matches in all competitions, drawn two, and lost once, Roma have the tailwind to this fixture. Their form in the Europa League is impressive too, with three wins out of four. The lone loss came against Brighton, after they won the first leg 4-0 and took the foot off the pedal in the return leg. That may be out of the question here, as Roma have won each of their five home matches in this competition this season.


Milan followed the first leg defeat with an entertaining 3-3 draw against Sassuolo in their league match over the weekend. While their place in the top two of the league standings looks almost guaranteed, it is the glory of the Europa League that should drive them hard. The visitors have won seven straight matches before the defeat to Roma, so don’t rule them out completely. The Rossoneri had two wins prior to the defeat against Roma in this competition, which means this tie is far from over. In fact, having already won 2-1 against Roma at this venue earlier in the season, the visitors are unlikely to be overawed by the trip. Milan’s record of four wins and a draw in their last five away matches suggests we have an interesting game on our hands.


Prediction:Roma 1-1 AC Milan
