Roma vs Milan prediction and betting tips on May 18 2025
Game Prediction
In the 37th round of Italian Serie A on May 18, 2025, a match between Roma and Milan will take place. The visitors are not in great spirits after their Cup disappointment, and this is something the hosts should exploit.
Our Prediction for Roma vs Milan
The team from Stadio Olimpico parted ways with Mourinho last season. There were hopes that Daniele De Rossi, having taken on head coaching duties, would finally fulfill the longstanding goal of returning his side to the Champions League. However, in Serie A, Roma finished only sixth, five points behind Bologna. In the Europa League, the Italians once again exited in the semifinals. Their current opponent, meanwhile, finished as the domestic league’s runner-up. But the management, as planned, said goodbye to Pioli.
He was replaced by Paulo Fonseca—who struggled and barely lasted half a season amidst constant setbacks. His successor, Sérgio Conceição, began with a Super Cup victory. He then managed to knock out Inter in the Cup semifinal — 1-1 and 3-0. In the decisive game against Bologna, however, after conceding, Milan were unable to respond, ultimately missing out on the trophy. Furthermore, the team crashed out of the Champions League in the very first knockout round to Feyenoord. Serie A also brought its difficulties. Although in the previous round, Milan defeated Bologna 3-1. In the capital, Roma quickly dismissed two coaches: first De Rossi, then Juric. But the return of Ranieri stabilized things enough that by May his side was even among the contenders for fourth place. Atalanta, however, brought them crashing back to earth with a 1-0 defeat.
Dovbyk and company average 1.42 goals per game. They concede about a third less—0.94 per match. The visitors have a slightly more eventful ratio—1.61 scored to 1.11 conceded.
