AC Milan vs Roma Prediction and Preview – 14/05/16
Serie A preview – AC Milan vs Roma prediction.
Teenage full-back Davide Calabria will be hoping to retain his place after a solid performance for Milan in their win at Bologna last Friday. The 19-year-old replaced Ignazio Abate who will be available after missing the game with flu symptoms. Luca Antonelli remains sidelined and Mattia De Sciglio is expected to continue on the left. Left-winger Giacomo Bonaventura returned to training this week and will be considered along with right flanker Jeremy Menez who missed out last weekend due to a minor back problem.
Roma midfielder Seydu Keita is struggling to shake off an ankle knock and will be assessed closer to kick off. Attacking midfielder Salih Ucan has been on the fringes this season and is the only other injury concern for Luciano Spalletti. Up front, Edin Dzeko has struggled to cement his place and the manager may stick with Diego Perotti in the central role despite his own problems finding the net.
Possible Line-ups
AC Milan 4-3-1-2 formation: Donnarumma; Abate, Mexes, Romagnoli, De Sciglio; Mauri, Montelivo, Kucka; Honda; Adriano, Bacca
Roma 4-3-3 formation: Szczesny; Maicon, Manolas, Rudiger, Digne; Nainggolan, De Rossi, Pjanic; Salah, Perotti, El Shaarawy
