Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the UEFA Europa League match.
Roma
Roma will have problems with the squad. Ndicka will miss the game due to the heart attack he suffered last weekend. Cristante is suspended and he’s likely to be substituted by the Aouar, who is more focused on the attacking actions. In the first leg, Roma were lucky enough that Milan didn’t use their advantage.
Milan
The second leg will be another chance for Rafa Leão to prove that he’s a top player. He’s scored 3 goals and made 1 assist in the 4 games played after the break for the international matches. Tomori is back in the squad after suspension. Unlike Roma, Milan have nothing to fight for in the Italian Serie A. But the UEFA Europa League trophy is something they crave for.
Roma – Milan prediction
Without taking the previous head-to-head game into account, Milan haven’t lost their last 9 games. They beat Roma twice in the Italian Serie A (2:1 and 3:1). Roma will play in a defensive style, trying to keep the result. Milan will at least avoid losing.
