AC Milan vs Roma Prediction & Picks - Serie A
by Tyler Doty in Soccer Picks
It's one of the most eagerly-awaited fixtures of Serie A matchday 18. This Sunday at 2:45 pm EST, AC Milan welcome AS Roma to the San Siro. Under Paulo Fonseca since the start of the season, the Rossoneri have alternated between the good and the not-so-good. They are only in 8th place in the table, 8 points behind the top 4, but with 1 game in hand. They will be keen to build on their successes to get back on track in the race for Champions League qualification.
AS Roma are having an even harder time of it in the first half of the season. The club from La Louve is only 10th in Serie A. To make matters worse, Claudio Ranieri's men are struggling on their travels. They have yet to win a game away from home in the league. It will be difficult to see the Roman team beat the odds on this trip to Lombardy.
