Our Tipster’s Angle

This is expected to be a high scoring encounter as both the teams are in splendid goal scoring form. Also, this might be an edgy clash as both the teams are in some good form. But the head to head record tends towards AC Milan.

Tip 1: AC Milan to Win or Draw

AC Milan has been extremely impressive this campaign especially away from home. They have won four, drawn one, and lost only one out of their last six away fixtures in Serie A. Milan would gain some confidence as Roma have been in slightly patchy form as they have only won three out of their last seven matches in Serie A. The recent history of encounters between the two sides also favors the Milan side as they have won three, drawn two, and lost only once in the last six games of this fixture. So it looks likely that the away side might get at least one point out of this fixture at 1.63 odds available in the Casumo sportsbook.

Tip 2: Total Goals Over 2.5
