Despite four meetings canceled due to Covid-19, this 20th day of Serie A will offer us from 6.30 p.m. an enticing AC Milan (2nd) – AS Roma (6th) on the side of San Siro. Stefano Pioli is deprived of many players, whether because of Covid-19 (Romagnoli, Tatarusanu, Tomori, Calabria, Castillejo), injuries (Kjaer) or even CAN (Bennacer, Kessié, Ballo-Touré).
According to Sky Italia and La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan will come in 4-2-3-1 against Roma with in particular Olivier Giroud rather than Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the lead and the French Pierre Kalulu in central defense.
