The big Serie A clash of the weekend sees AC Milan welcoming AS Roma to the San Siro. Milan are top of the table after winning each of their first four league matches. The Rossoneri have been in extraordinary form for several months under Stefano Pioli, going 21 games unbeaten in all competitions. Milan are unbeaten in their last nine home fixtures, a run that includes a 2-0 victory over AS Roma. The visitors come into the game in eighth place after picking up seven points from four games. They have won their last three matches in all competitions but they will have their hands full trying to destroy Milan's perfect record. The home side have been scoring for fun since the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic in January, finding the back of the net in 25 consecutive games. Ibrahimovic remains prolific despite being 39-years-old, scoring four goals in two league outings this season. If Ibrahimovic scores once, there's a good chance that he will score twice; no Serie A player has scored more braces (four) than him since his January arrival.

Milan have won their last two home matches against Roma, the capital side last winning in Milan in 2017. Games between the two sides have been low-scoring in recent seasons with four of the last six featuring fewer than three goals. Milan have scored at least three goals in six of their last eight home matches. While Roma are a good team, Milan are in truly inspired form. We think it would be foolish to back against a team so good. Stick your money on another Milan victory.
