MIL vs ROM Dream11: AC Milan will look to carry on their near-perfect start to the season as they welcome Roma to the San Siro. Milan is yet to lose a game and proudly sit atop the Serie A table. Roma has also had a near-perfect start to the season and would’ve been unbeaten if it weren’t for an administrative error that saw their 0-0 draw against Hellas Verona get ruled as a 3-0 loss. This now puts them in 7th place, but they will have a chance to close the gap between them and the top of the table when they face the league leaders on Monday night.

MIL vs ROM Dream11 Prediction Team News, Injury Report, Starting Lineups
A) AC Milan Team News
Injury Report, Unavailability: AC Milan has an issue in defence and up-front. Defenders Mateo Musacchio and Matteo Gabbia are ruled out with a hand injury and a virus respectively. Star-forward, Ante Rebic, will continue to miss out with a hand injury in MIL vs ROM Dream11 Prediction.
Doubtful starters: Hakan Calhanoglu did not feature against Celtic due to injury and Stefano Pioli will hope that the Turkish is available to at least make the bench.
Expected changes: Rade Krunic and Brahim Diaz put on a great show against Celtic and Pioli will have a selection dilemma. Samuel Castillejo impressed in midweek, but Alexis Saelemaekers is expected to come back into the side. Ismael Bennacer will look to replace Sandro Tonali and Rafael Leao will hope to return to the lineup. AC Milan will likely keep the same backline.
MIL Playing 11 (probable):
Gianluigi Donnarumma (GK)
Davide Calabria
Simon Kjaer
Alessio Romagnoli
Theo Hernandez
Franck Kessie
Ismael Bennacer
Alexis Saelemaekers
Brahim Diaz
Rafael Leao
Zlatan Ibrahimovic
B) AS Roma Team News
Injury Report, Unavailability: New permanent signing, Chris Smalling, will be out with a strain. Fellow defender Gianluca Mancini tested positive for Covid-19 and will be in quarantine, but some confusion ensued after. Another player observing quarantine rules is the midfielder, Amadou Diawara. Nicolo Zaniolo is a long-term injury with a cruciate ligament injury and won’t be involved in MIL vs ROM Today Match Prediction.
Doubtful: Javier Pastore is doubtful with a hip injury and it remains to be seen if he will feature against AC Milan.
Expected changes: Paulo Fonseca moved to a 4-2-3-1 against Benevento but went back to the 3-4-3 against Young Boys in midweek so it will be interesting to see how he sets up for this week. A forward line of Pedro Rodriguez, Edin Dzeko and Henrikh Mkhitaryan can be expected. Marash Kumbulla and Federico Fazio will deputize as a cover-up for the injuries in defence.
ROM Playing 11 (probable):
Antonio Mirante (GK)
Federico Fazio
Roger Ibanez
Marash Kumbulla
Davide Santon
Lorenzo Pellegrini
Jordan Veretout
Leonardo Spinazzola
Henrikh Mkhitaryan

MIL vs ROM Today Match Prediction Football Match
Almost all bookmakers are offering the same odds with Bet365 and Bwin placing an AC Milan win at 2.00 and a Roma win at 3.50. Despite Milan being the favourites, a draw seems to be the most likely option with Bwin placing a draw at 3.60. Both teams will be ready and raring to go so there isn’t a lot to separate them in terms of quality. In cases like these, factors like home advantage will come into play and this being Roma’s second consecutive away game, the odds tip in Milan’s favour as they did travel to Scotland for the Europa League, but are back at home for this fixture.
