AC Milan will face Roma away from home Thursday evening, hoping to add three points to their tally after winning their opening two games. This article will go over the game’s important battles.
The Rossoneri defeated Bologna 2-0 in the first game, then Torino 4-1 in front of a sold-out San Siro. In short, the season has started well, but the first major test is approaching. The bouts listed below could decide tonight’s match against Roma.
From Milan’s perspective, it will be critical for Malick Thiaw to keep Andrea Belotti quiet, particularly in hold-up play. The Roma striker is powerful and must be stopped early, and he must not be given room in the box.
Lorenzo Pellegrini will be wandering between Milan’s defense and midfield, and Rade Krunic will have to support his defenders in that regard. The Italian is excellent on the ball, and the Bosnian must be present at all times.
Stefano Pioli will give Tijjani Reijnders a lot of space in midfield, and Jose Mourinho will have to offset this by positioning Bryan Cristante near to the Dutchman. In fact, it’s extremely probable that this game will be won in the midfield.
Finally, Olivier Giroud will face an equally formidable defender in Chris Smalling. The latter has had a slow start to the season, whilst the Frenchman has three goals and will be eager for more.
