"This weekend's game is a big one. For Milan, it is a chance to overturn their recent results - a statement hard to justify, considering they sit fouth. On the other hand, Roma will look to go top with three points. Both coaches are having to contend with injuries, but it is difficult to suggest that the Rossoneri are not struggling, with Massimiliano Allegri's short squad being shown, currently. However, returns are on the horizon."
"I've certainly been surprised by Roma's start. It's not easy to assimilate what a coach like Gasperini demands, both physically and tactically. Because it requires a lot of commitment, lots of one-on-ones, a significant athletic effort, and it's certainly not easy to absorb these concepts after just one summer preparation. When you have strong players in attack, you can do well. And Roma, in my opinion, have many strong players in the attack."
This weekend's match gives Milan a chance to reverse recent poor results while Roma can move to the top of the table with a victory. Milan face injury problems and a short squad under Massimiliano Allegri has exposed current struggles, although player returns are expected. Roma have enjoyed an unexpectedly strong start under Gasperini, with a system demanding high physical and tactical commitment and many one-on-one situations. Roma possess several strong attacking players; Paulo Dybala adds versatility across forward roles and boosts attacking confidence. Saelemaekers and other additions are adapting to tactical roles.
