Match Preview
Milan have struggled in the 2009-10 Serie A campaign with a 2-2-3 record and in the middle of the table. Manager Leonardo is already feeling the pressure for a a side that’s underachieving. There are no major injury concerns for Milan who have scored only four goals in seven matches. Two of these are from Pato with Ronaldinho and Clarence Seedorf scoring the others.
Roma has also had a troublesome start, losing their first two matches in the Serie A, and having manager Luciano Spalletti resign. Claudio Ranieri is now the manager of the club which has resulted in a five match unbeaten streak (3-0-2). Roma are currently middle of the table and two points above Milan. Unlike Milan, they’ve had more than enough offense (14 goals) but are tied for the league lead in goals conceded (13 goals).
Milan have not found their form while Ranieri appears to have Roma headed in the right direction. Can Leonardo get the Rossoneri back on track? Will Ronaldinho find his form or are his best days behind him?
