AS Roma vs AC Milan is the biggest fixture of the week as it can change the whole scenario of the points table.

AC Milan has failed in living up to the expectations of people as they have failed miserable to perform even on their home soil. Milan were hosted by Napoli in their last fixture and they came back from 2 goals to steal 3 points from Milan. On the other hand Roma had to sweat to earn one point against Atlanta.

It clearly shows that it is not the old Serie A in which three teams used to dominate the whole league. There are no easy points in Serie A anymore.

If we compare the defense Roma has an upper hand because defense is the reason why Milan is not finding its way back to glory. It won’t be wrong if we say Milan has the weakest defense in the whole Serie A because half of the time they are playing with their own keeper back passing him again and again and on the other hand Donnarumma have also lost his charms from last few months. He was all over the place in their last match. He can’t even shot properly and he also leaks very easy balls but still Milan went lucky as they were able to secure the signatures of Pepe Reina. Reina is without any doubt one of the best keepers in the world.

To be honest, Milan also lack good players in midfield as well. Players like Kessie might be good individuals but they are not good team players. Milan badly needs a team player like Modric, Iniesta or Xavi. A players who values his team more than himself. Roma on the other hand also doesn’t have a very good midfield but still they have players who don’t play to satisfy themselves.

If we compare the attack, Milan has an upper hand. With players like Higuain. Suso and Crutone in their squad list but that also doesn’t put Roma out of the equation as they also have Dzeko and Pastore guarding them from the front.

Serie A has just started so we cannot comment of the form yet but overall Roma are the favorites to take three points home.
