AC Milan v Roma Betting Tips [26 October 2020]

It will be a clash of old rivals in Serie A as the red-hot AC Milan will look to continue their perfect start to the season when AS Roma visit San Siro. Milan are top of the league standings with four wins from the first four matches starting the weekend matches with a two-point advantage over the nearest challenger Sassuolo. Roma are eighth in the standings with seven points from their four matches and staring at the prospect of falling further down the standings.

Milan defeated Celtic 3-1 in the midweek Europa League clash continuing their brilliant winning start to the season. The Rossoneri are unbeaten in the season so far and have won each of their eight matches in all competitions. What sets Milan apart is their increasingly assuring defensive performances. The hosts have conceded only one goal this season in four league matches, while scoring at least twice in each match. That included winning both their home matches, defeating Bologna 2-0 and Spezia 3-0 ahead of this clash. This is also Milan’s best start to a season winning their four opening matches for the first time since 1995/96.

Roma come into this match with a win of their own in the midweek Europa League – a 2-1 win over Young Boys. This win made it three in a row for Roma in all competitions. After starting their season with a 3-0 loss at Verona, Roma have got things back on track with a draw and three wins on the trot. This included a 2-2 draw against Juventus and the three matches saw Roma stacking up eight goals. Roma started their away season with a 3-0 loss at Verona which remains their only loss in six away matches winning the other five. Goals remain a constant feature, as five of these six matches produced over 2.5 goals.

AC Milan are the form team in Italy right now – if not Europe – winning each of their four Serie A matches. Furthermore, Milan are unbeaten at home in eight Serie A matches post-lockdown winning seven and drawing one. Additionally, each of those seven wins have come by at least two goals. With Zlatan Ibrahimovic showing no signs of slowing down, Milan would be aiming for another win. Roma won’t be an easy opponent, though, considering the quality in their squad. The visitors have impressed away from home in their recent matches, but this could be a tough proposition. Our main tip, though, is in the goals market considering the goal threats on both sides. For medium risk takers, put a small wager on Milan’s win with over 2.5 goals combo.
