As the floodlights blaze over the Stadio Olimpico, anticipation crackles through the air. Thursday brings a clash of titans as AS Roma and AC Milan gear up for a showdown that promises to keep fans on the edge of their seats. The Giallorossi, with the roar of the home crowd in their sails, aim to unsettle the Rossoneri, who have been nothing short of formidable this season. Milan, sitting pretty in second, cannot afford complacency after a draw with Sassuolo, while Roma, harboring ambitions of climbing higher from fifth, did not feature in the league over the weekend, sharpening their blades for this fixture. With a history that sees Milan with a lion's share of victories, the stage is set for a riveting encounter. Roma's recent struggles at the Olimpico against Milan only add fuel to the fire. Will Milan seize a historic double away victory, or can Roma defend their honor against their northern rivals? The Europa League awaits the unfolding of this storied rivalry.
