AC Milan vs AS Roma Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Roma’s Tammy Abraham will go up against his parent club.

AC Milan and AS Roma will meet on the penultimate day of this year in a crucial match of the Serie A. The match scheduled for 30th December will see these two big teams in action in their last match of the year 2024. Milan and Roma haven’t been at their very best this season and as such would be keen to end their year on a winning note.

Milan are currently in eighth place with 26 points while Roma are in 10th place with 19 points. As these two teams find it difficult to break into the top five their derby rivals have had no such issues. Inter and Lazio are currently placed third and fourth on the table with 37 and 34 points respectively.

As such they have a point to prove, with the Serie A already in the midway stage, the teams will have to pull up their socks if they hope to close in on the gap. Paolo Fonseca and Claudio Ranieri are both experienced coaches because of which the match holds promise of being a high-level technical battle.

Monday, 30th December, 1:15 AM IST

Players to Watch

Rafael Leao (AC Milan)

With an 80% passing accuracy, Rafael Leao has scored three goals and provided four assists for his team. The Portuguese winger is a treat to watch whenever he is on the pitch. His brisk pace and ability to cut in and dribble past defence have always been an important part of his game.

Paulo Dybala will be high on confidence after his scintillating display against Parma. The Argentinian scored two goals in that game which helped Roma win in devastating fashion at the Stadio Olimpico (5-0).

The 31-year-old has scored four times for Roma this year in the Serie A. Dybala who has been an Italian citizen since 2012 is a player for the bigger occasions and as such will be the man to keep an eye on.
