Serie A 2023-2024: Milan v Roma, the likely lineups

Milan-Roma, the probable formations

It will be the challenge between Milan and Roma that will close the Serie A Sunday. The match at the San Siro, whose kickoff is scheduled for 8:45 p.m. under the orders of referee Guida from the Torre Annunziata (Naples) section, pits two teams facing each other just back from elimination in the Coppa Italia: the Rossoneri at the hands of Atalanta, the Giallorossi in the derby against Lazio.

As for the choices of the two coaches, the one who seems to have more certainties è Stefano Pioli, who will propose as usual the 4-2-3-1 with Olivier Giroud as the main reference point in attack, supported by Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek and Rafa Leao. Probable the use, in the middle, of Adli from 1' behind space for Gabbia and Kjaer in the central area.

On the other hand, the climate at the Giallorossi's home is far from serene but Mourinho (who will not be on the sidelines due to disqualification) wants to regain the upper hand by focusing on a compact 3-5-2 in which Lukaku will be backed up by Belotti in place of the injured Paulo Dybala, who left after the first half played against Lazio.

The match è crucial in terms of qualifying for the European cups: Milan, after 19 games, è third with 39 points, the result of 12 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats (21 points won at home, 12 away). Roma, on the other hand, wants to get closer to the Europa zone, after collecting 29 points in 19 matches (8 won, 5 drawn, 6 lost): it will serveà to do better forò away, where the Giallorossi have obtained just 8 points against the 21 won in front of the friendly public.

Probable formations:

MILAN (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Gabbia, Kjaer, Hernandez; Adli, Reijnders; Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Leao; Giroud. All. Pioli.

ROMA (3-5-2): Rui Patricio; Kristensen, Mancini, Llorente; Celik, Cristante, Paredes, Bove, Zalewski; Belotti, Lukaku. All. Mourinho (disqualified).
