Match Details: January 25th, 2026 | Stadio Olimpico | Serie A | 19:45 (GMT)

It’s a tactical battle of wits between Gian Piero Gasperini’s 4th-place Roma and Massimiliano Allegri’s 2nd-place Milan. Roma has become a defensive juggernaut under Gasp, conceding the fewest goals in the top flight, while Milan arrives at the Olimpico trailing leaders Inter by just three points. With the Scudetto race tightening, this is a clash between the league's most clinical defence and a Rossoneri side that has lost only once all season.

Key Players to Watch: Roma vs AC Milan

Donyell Malen (Roma): The Dutch forward has quickly become the focal point of Gasperini’s attack and enters this clash fresh from scoring the winner against Torino in Roma's last league match. With Milan’s defence being so difficult to breach, Malen’s elite pace and ability to create shots out of nothing will be Roma's primary weapon for an upset.

Christian Pulisic (AC Milan): Captain America is having a career-best season with 8 league goals and is currently Milan's most consistent creative outlet.
