AS Roma take on the visitors AC Milan in the second leg of UEFA Europa League quarterfinals. First leg result: 1-0. The match will be played on Thursday, April 18th at Stadio Olimpico (Rome).
By winning at the San Siro, the Romans took a big step towards reaching the semifinals of the tournament. Now all they need to do is avoid losing at home. And I think the wolves are perfectly capable of that. In the current Europa League campaign, Roma have only lost twice, both times away. At home, the capital team rarely loses, regardless of who is in charge at the moment. And it's worth mentioning that under Daniele De Rossi, the wolves have looked more cohesive and solid. Roma have improved. In their last 13 matches across all competitions, they have suffered only one defeat - against Brighton in the second leg after a home victory (4-0).

Milan was considered the favorite in this tie, as they are currently the second team in Serie A standings after Inter. But after conceding a goal in the first half of the first leg, Stefano Pioli's men failed to equalize against Roma and salvage at least a draw in the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals. Thus, this defeat ended Milan's solid winning streak. And over the weekend, Milan also dropped points in the league, drawing 3-3 with Sassuolo. Milan don't particularly enjoy playing as the front runner in important matches against strong opponents. But they'll have to do it now. And I highly doubt it will lead to anything good.
Before the first leg, many considered Milan to be the favorite in the Italian quarterfinal tie. However, Roma managed to secure a victory at the San Siro. 0-1 is certainly not a death sentence. But the red and blacks will find it very difficult to come back. In this match, I would risk and bet on 1X, which means at least avoiding a defeat for the hosts. Even under Jose Mourinho, Roma rarely lost at home, and after the change of coach, they have improved. One defeat in their last 13 matches across all competitions is excellent statistics. Milan, on the other hand, haven't inspired much confidence lately. My prediction - 1X.
Prediction for the match: AS Roma not to lose (1X).
