Roma has odds of 1.95 (19/20) to secure a victory in this matchup. After their Coppa Italia loss, Milan enters this clash as underdogs. The Rossoneri have odds of 3.60 (13/5) for an away win. Roma vs Milan odds for a draw are priced at 3.70 (8/3).
Roma have won three of their previous five encounters against Milan across all competitions, with one loss and a draw.
Roma’s 2-1 defeat to Atalanta ended their impressive 19-game unbeaten run under Claudio Ranieri. That setback came at a poor time, especially as Lazio and Juventus also dropped points. Roma claimed big wins over champions Inter and top-four hopefuls Fiorentina during their unbeaten run. The Giallorossi currently have 18 wins, nine draws, and eight losses, totalling 63 points this season.
After a six-year absence, Roma are still firmly in the race for Champions League qualification. A home win against Milan would significantly boost their chances of sealing a top-four finish. The reverse fixture ended in a 1:1 draw, so Roma must be more clinical to secure vital points on Sunday.
Roma’s Paulo Dybala has been ruled out of the season, while captain Lorenzo Pellegrini still suffers from a muscle injury.
AC Milan has collected 60 points this season, recording 17 wins, nine draws, and 10 losses. Currently sitting 8th in Serie A, the Rossoneri have gained momentum with four wins in their last five matches. Their last Serie A 3–1 victory over Bologna marked a fourth straight win across all competitions, strengthening their hopes of securing a European spot and raising the stakes for the upcoming clash with Roma.
However, Milan could not replicate that success in the Coppa Italia Final, where they suffered a 1–0 defeat to Bologna on Wednesday, May 14. A win would have secured their second trophy of the season—something they haven’t accomplished since 2008. That loss may dent their confidence heading into Sunday’s match, and how they respond remains to be seen.
Warren Bondo and Riccardo Sottil are expected to miss Milan’s trip to Rome due to injury.

Roma has the advantage of home support in this encounter. Their impressive run of eleven unbeaten matches at the Olimpico strengthens their case for a win. On the other hand, Milan’s Coppa Italia campaign, capped by a loss in the final, should leave them drained heading into this fixture. Facing a rested Roma side under such circumstances may prove difficult. So we expect to see the Giallorossi get another home victory.
