AS Roma: 3-1-1

 

• Juraj Kucka will not be available to coach Vincenzo Montella, who is thinking of pulling Giacomo Bonaventura back into midfield once again. Gianluca Lapadula is favourite to play despite Carlos Bacca’s availability. The Colombian striker is probably on his way out of Milan.

• Kevin Strootman’s two-game suspension has been overturned and he is now free to play against AC Milan and Juventus.

• Roma played a meaningless game in the Europa League on Thursday and rotated their team to avoid fatigue for the clash with AC Milan. Milan are benefiting from not having to play in European competitions, but they will lose this advantage in the coming rounds as both Roma and Napoli will only be focused on the league.

• Roma are Juventus’ most credible challengers but they need to prove it in this game, despite the absence of some key players, including Mo Salah. Milan are probably the fourth most powerful team in the league despite being joint-second in the table at the moment, and a good result at the Olimpico will only give them more reason to be optimistic about the rest of the season.

• Despite the two sides being tied on 32 points, there is less pressure on the away side, who are currently performing beyond their pre-season targets.
