AC Milan vs Roma: Europa League Quarter-Final Predictions and Betting Tips

Europa League Quarter-Final Preview: AC Milan vs Roma

Two of Italy's most prestigious clubs, AC Milan and Roma, will clash in an all-Italian UEFA Europa League quarter-final on Thursday. The first leg takes place at Milan's San Siro stadium, with the return leg scheduled for the following week in Rome.

AC Milan, seven-time European champions, enter the match as slight favorites. They are currently third in Serie A, just two points behind leaders Juventus. Roma, on the other hand, are sixth in Serie A and have been in poor form in recent months.

However, anything can happen in a one-off match, and Roma will be confident of causing an upset. They have a good record against AC Milan in recent years, having won three of their last five meetings.

Key Players

• AC Milan: Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Hakan Calhanoglu, Theo Hernandez
• Roma: Edin Dzeko, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Lorenzo Pellegrini

Prediction

This is a tough match to call, but AC Milan's home advantage and slightly better form make them the narrow favorites. However, Roma are a dangerous team and could easily spring a surprise.

Our prediction: AC Milan 2-1 Roma
