AC Milan is set to face Roma in the Matchday 10 of Serie A 2025/26. The match will take place on November 2 at 20:45 at San Siro. The Rossoneri, led by coach Allegri, aim to strengthen their position in the standings against the team managed by Gasperini. Both teams are competing for top positions, making this encounter particularly significant.
AC Milan comes into this match following a 1-1 draw against Atalanta, a result that followed a 2-2 home draw against Pisa. The Rossoneri are experiencing a period of ups and downs in the league but are showing signs of growth and determination. Allegri’s team is ready to capitalize on home advantage to return to winning ways and continue their pursuit of the top spots. No players suspended or at risk of suspension. Pulisic, Gimenez, Rabiot, and Tomori remain out, while Leão and Estupiñan have returned. Jashari is back in training but not yet fit enough for selection.
“After the international break, we lost a few players, but these things happen,” said Coach Allegri during his pre-match press conference. “We have recuperated and tomorrow we expect a great game, but a tough one too. Roma have conceded very few goals, while we’ve let some in over the last few games. We need to change that pattern. Gasperini has already given a strong identity to the team, a physically strong side that covers a lot of distance. Dybala and Soulé are real quality. We’ll need focus, compactness, and consistency in duels to keep them under control.”
LATEST FROM ROMA Roma, fresh from a 2-1 victory over Parma, arrives at San Siro with the aim of maintaining their excellent form. The Giallorossi have shown solidity and consistency, winning seven of the nine matches played in the league. Gasperini’s team is determined to extend their positive streak and consolidate their position among the top teams. The match against AC Milan represents an important test for Roma’s seasonal ambitions, with the Argentine duo Soulé and Dybala as their main attacking threat. Gasperini also has no players suspended or at risk of suspension. Absentees: Angeliño and Ferguson.
“Both ourselves and AC Milan have started really well”, said Gasperini. “I’m not speaking about the Scudetto because our goal is just to compete. Now, we’re heading to San Siro to compete with AC Milan, a high-quality team that has added a number of very good players to their ranks during the transfer window. Playing in this sort of match is a brilliant opportunity”.
