Both Milan and Roma were expected to challenge the dominance of Juventus in Serie A this season in what looks to be the most open title race in half a decade in Italy. The Rossoneri spent close to £200m in a hectic summer in a race to build a squad capable of mounting a charge for the Scudetto, and they have won nine of their eleven competitive fixtures in 2017/18 coming into our Milan vs Roma preview. For a new squad of players to fully gel it takes time and naturally, AC have had a couple of lapses in the form of a heavy defeat at Lazio and a 2-0 loss to Sampdoria at the weekend. That defeat was the first time this season the Milanese club had failed to score a goal and their goal getting power is a large factor in the football odds you will find for this fixture.

Last year’s Serie A runners-up Roma have won four of their five league matches prior to today’s Milan vs Roma betting tips. The Giallorossi haven’t been beaten in eight competitive away matches going all the way back to March of last season. The Romans are a well-oiled machine and they should be there or thereabouts in May when the trophies are being handed out. The club from the capital have only lost twice in their last sixteen Italian league matches.
Bosnia & Herzegovina international and former Man City title winner Edin Dzeko is the go-to guy for the first of today’s Milan vs Roma bets. The imposing centre forward has netted six goals in his last four appearances in a Roma shirt. His performances and productivity are improving game on game. Dzeko enjoyed his last trip to the San Siro – he scored twice in a 4-1 win for the Romans in May.
Milan haven’t kept a clean sheet in six and they are looking a little loose across their newly formed backline. Big money centre back signing Leonardo Bonucci by his own admission has been below par since his move from Juventus and Edin Dzeko will fancy his chances of ruffling a few of his feathers on Sunday. William Hill’s odds look notably generous for the striker to score again and they are the best odds we found after our research.
