Roma vs. Milan, closing in on the top

The Stadio Olimpico sets the stage for a heavyweight clash between Roma and Milan. After climbing into fourth place at Juventus’ expense, Roma will be looking to hold on to that position, and a fourth straight win, especially against a direct rival, would also breathe new life into their Scudetto hopes. Milan, meanwhile, are already firmly in the title conversation. Sitting second in the table, the Rossoneri are eager to further back up their ambitions by returning to Milan with a third consecutive victory, following wins over Como and Lecce.
