AS Roma Form & Balance Check
The capitals are still searching for consistency after matchday ten. Roma, coached by Jose Mourinho, have struggled so far this season, especially against the big teams of Italian football. They have already lost to Lazio Roma in the Derby della Capitale and to record champions Juventus Torino. However, the 0-0 draw against the in-form Neapolitans in the penultimate game should have given the team from the capital a boost. That is why the form curve is pointing upwards again.
Won 2-1 against Cagliari in the last game
The Romans travelled to Sardinia during the week to play last-place Cagliari Calcio. In the 52nd minute, the Romans fell behind to a goal from Cagliari attacker Pavoletti. The Giallorossi then showed morale and equalised in the 71st minute through centre-back Ibanez before captain Pellegrini scored the winner in the 78th minute. Roma regained confidence for the upcoming game against Milan thanks to this win.

Milan Form & Balance Check
Acc Milan are the team to beat in Italy, along with SSC Napoli. The Rossoneri have only drawn against record champions Juventus Torino and have won all of their remaining nine games. Therefore, we believe Milan will also take something countable to the Italian north against Roma. In the past three games against Roma they showed strong performances and were not defeated once. The Rossoneri are currently brimming with confidence.
Second best offense in the league
It is particularly remarkable that the attacking power of the fashionable city is not dependent on one person. Thus, Giroud (four goals), Leao (four goals) and Diaz (three goals) scored some goals and sweetened the evenings for the Milan fans. Milan are very difficult to stop thanks to the unpredictability of which player will score. The fashionable city has therefore scored in every Serie A game so far and all Milan Tifosi can continue to dream of the championship.

Predicted line-up – last update on 29 October 2021
We expect AS Roma to play in a usual 4-2-3-1 formation. Mourinho has almost always played the same starting line-up so far, which is why we assume that the same team as against Cagliari Calcio will be allowed to start. Spinazzola is still sorely missed at Roma.
We believe that Milan coach Stefano Pioli will start with Ibrahimovic in the forward line this time. In addition, we expect the dribble-strong Spaniard Diaz in the ten position. Milan’s 4-2-3-1 system will most likely remain unchanged.
