Personal Highlight – AC Milan V AS Roma
Two of the more prestigious team in Italy do battle once again as Carlo Cudicini takes his Roma side to the San Siro to take on AC Milan with the Milan boss; Leonardo, a Brazilian great, under immense pressure to not only improve Milan’s results but also get the side playing attractive football. Roma made a terrible start to the season but they have shown signs of improved form and they will be aiming to keep their season firmly on track, albeit it a very tough venue.
AC Milan, despite their severe dip in form which has seen them fail to win any of their previous league fixrures, are the favourites to beat an old foe but they were thumped the last time a big side came a calling, in a 4-0 defeat at home to Inter Milan.
Roma, after defeats in their opening two fixtures, have remained unbeaten since, recording three wins and two draws since. They have earned draws in their previous two away outings, neither against noteworthy teams but they would take a draw here.
