Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:
Roma are at 19/20 to win, a draw is at 13/5, and an AC Milan win is at 14/5.
Roma will begin play in Serie A in third place in the very tight battle for the Champions League places. They are only a point above Lazio, on 50 points, and are also two above Inter Milan. They had taken just one point from two matches recently, but they have since won three in a row. In the three-team battle between them, their Rome rivals, and Inter, they are the form team currently.
When it comes to AC Milan, they are making a real charge of late. They are on 41 points, putting them in seventh and tied with Sampdoria on goal difference, but they have been making inroads once again under Gattuso with results going their way as well as seeing others falter. They could cut the gap to Roma to seven points, which would be a huge boon for them in trying to chase down an unlikely UCL slot. They have four wins out of the last five and 13 points from those matches.
At home, Roma have lost four of their 13 matches so far. They are sitting on 25 points as a result of that, and they have lost twice in the last five while earning only seven points from those matches. Milan, on the other hand, are looking to be on the up on the road. They are just seventh overall with 18 points from their 13 away fixtures to date, but they have not lost any of the last four and have grabbed eight points from those games as they have started to look like the team we saw at the start of the season again.
Cutrone to score anytime, via Ladbrokes, is at 21/10.
Milan might be on the outside looking in right now as far as the European places go, but they should not be counted out. They played a day after Roma, but they did not travel and that could make all the difference in this outcome.
Eusebio Di Francesco will be missing defensive midfielder Maxime Gonalons and right back Rick Karsdorp through injuries.
One man that made an even bigger name for himself in Donetsk, even in a loss, was goalkeeper Alisson. The Brazilian #1 has shown why he continues to be picked over Ederson of Manchester City with fantastic saves. He was beaten twice against the Ukrainians, but he made some huge saves that kept the match close. He could be huge in this match as his side look to end Milan's nice run of form.
Roma have two losses and three wins in their last five matches:
2-1 loss at Shakhtar Donetsk (UCL)
0-2 win at Udinese
5-2 home win vs Benevento
0-1 win at Hellas Verona
0-1 home loss vs Sampdoria
Gennaro Gattuso is missing right back Andrea Conti due to injury, but otherwise has a full squad to pick from for this match.
At the start of the season, Italian youngster Patrick Cutrone burst onto the scene under former manager Vincenzo Montella. Then he was suddenly cast aside, wrongly in the eyes of many. Since Gattuso has taken charge, though, the youngster has started to get chances again and is making the most of them. The 20 year old has not scored in his last two outings, but in the two previous matches he had scored three goals, and he could well be in line to score here.
Milan have four wins and a draw in their last five matches:
1-0 home win vs Ludogorets (UEL)
1-0 home win vs Sampdoria
0-3 win at Ludogorets (UEL)
0-4 win at SPAL
1-1 draw at Udinese
