Roma Host Milan in an old school Derby of Two Serie A giants
KickOff: Friday, April 25 2:45 p.m. ET
Having mathematically secured the second place in Serie A standings
and cementing their place in the champion’s league competition next season Ac
Roma will look to further humiliate their old Rivals in front of their home
fans . Once a formidable side with great pedigree both in domestic and European
competition, Milan have found themselves in the 7th place of the Serie
A Standings with 51 points. Their performance on the pitch the season has been
somewhat below par, as they push to secure the final place in the Europa league
competition.
Both teams have enjoyed a great form of late with Roma wining
their last 8 games and Milan managing a convincing 5 out of 5. Both teams are currently
rated to be on top form, and boast a squad of talented players. With Club and
Italy Legend Francesco Totti and Ivory Coast international and former Arsenal
player Gervinho leading the Assist charts with 9 assists. A lot was expected
from Mario Balloteli when he joined Ac Milan ,he performance are not poor by any standard ,but they aren’t so great Either .he has scored 14
goals this season ,and will definitely look to add to his tally when his team
Visits the Stadio Olimpico.
