For quite some time now I dont see AC Milan as a serious team again, they have lost 8matches with 41 points and at the moment they are on the 8th position in the league standings after As Roma, having played 27 matches so far in the league, the bad performance of AC Milan has persisted so as it is, I don't expect anything from them in that match because they may end up messing up again
AC Milan got a streak of bad matches and results, hence they already fell below AS Roma after the last weekend. Fortunately, they are still in a situation that can compete for top six, but if they continue having bad matches and results week by week, top six will become farther and impossible mission for them.
There is high risk for AC Milan that they will not finish this season with any high enough rank for being eligible with a slot to Europe even just UEFA Conference League next season. They will have to return to several years ago when they had to built up their squad and slowly increased its strength and competitiveness. It seems that cycle is coming back for AC Milan.
At the start of the season, like after the first 20 weeks, if you told people that Milan would be under Roma, people would mock you. Now that we are looking at the league table, we have seen Roma recover with Ranieri, showing that the players weren't the issue and the managers were, and they have done so much better.
4 wins in a row recently, that seems like something Roma would never even dream of doing at the start of the season, they were so bad that people were discussing if there was even a chance of them relegating, which was small of course but still. AC Milan on the other hand, three losses in a row, when a team is already doing not so great, adding three losses in a row makes them so much worse, it is 100% guaranteed they will fire the manager.
