The Italian Serie A faces its matchday 20 this weekend after we enjoyed an action-packed weekend and several matches of the Coppa Italia.
Now, at the start of the second half of the season, Inter and Juventus are in a close fight for the first place in the table. This, undoubtedly, makes the tournament much more interesting, because let’s remember that, in the previous season, Napoli got away very early, and they had practically no rival in their fight for the Scudetto.
Now, these two teams can’t fall asleep because Milan has woken up after winning 3 of the last 4 games and can get closer to this fight again. On the other hand, the difference between Fiorentina (4th) and Lazio (7th) is only 3 points, so this matchday 20 is decisive for the teams within this area of the table.
On this matchday 20, we will have one of the most anticipated derbies in the Italian Serie A. We are talking about the game between AC Milan and AS Roma.

Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet on Milan?
AC Milan has had some complications this season, and that is why they are not fully involved in the fight for the first place in the table. However, despite the problems, the team remains on the podium, and they arrive at this matchday after 3 wins and 1 draw in the last 4 matches played.
The ‘Rossoneri’ has a record of 12 wins, 3 draws, and 4 defeats. Although this is an excellent track, we have that 7 and 9 points separate them from Juventus and Inter, respectively.
From now on, they have no margin for error. If they want to fight for the Scudetto, they will have to win all that they humanly can.
Milan comes to this matchday after an excellent victory as visitors against Empoli with a score of 3-0.
Why Bet on Roma?
AS Roma, on the other hand, arrived at this 2023/24 Serie A season with the mission of fighting for European places again and even for a place in the next Champions League. However, Jose Mourinho’s side is still struggling to find the regularity needed to establish at the top.
Roma comes to this matchday 20 with a record of 8 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses, which places them in eighth place with 29 points. However, they are only 3 points behind Bologna in fifth and 4 behind Fiorentina in fourth place. This indicates that a victory on this day could help the ‘Lupa’ climb 1 or several places in the general classification table.
Roma is coming from winning only 1 of the last 5 matches played, and therefore, they have lost a lot of ground in recent weeks. In addition, their most recent games ended with a 1-1 draw against Atalanta, which its not a bad result at first glance but was at home.
Final Betting Analysis: Milan vs. Roma
In the last 20 games between these two teams, we have that Milan has managed to win in 8 matches. On the other hand, Roma has accumulated 6 victories, while 6 encounters ended with draws on the scoreboard.
In addition, the ‘Rossoneri’ won the most recent match against the ‘Lupa’ with a score of 2-1.
At 1XBET, we can see that there is a Moneyline that favors Milan at 2.201, while Roma starts at 3.83.
We expect a spectacular match with many goal chances from side and side. However, this time, our winner card is for a 2-1 AC Milan triumph.
Look for a win in Milan’s Moneyline. For example, if you put $100 on them at 2.201, you’ll see a $120.10 win with a total payout of $220.10.
