AC Milan haven’t lost to Roma in almost five years and should extend that record in the Europa League on Thursday (2000 BST).
Two of Serie A’s biggest clubs will clash in the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday as AC Milan welcome Roma to the San Siro.
Stefano Pioli’s side reached this stage of the competition with a 7-3 aggregate win over Sparta Prague, before which they edged a 5-3 goal-fest against Rennes.
The Rossoneri have proven an entertaining watch in recent weeks with goals from Christian Pulisic, Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao bagging a 3-0 win over Lecce at the weekend.
It was a close call for Daniele de Rossi and his Roma side, beating Feyenoord 4-2 on penalties after drawing 2-2 across two legs.
They had less trouble against Brighton, thrashing the Seagulls 4-0 in the first leg, and keeping things tight in a 1-0 defeat in the reverse.
They also triumphed at the weekend with a statement 1-0 win over arch-rivals Lazio, extending their unbeaten run in Serie A to seven and solidifying fifth spot.
Roma have struggled against Milan throughout the years, with that poor form continuing in January when AC ran out 3-1 winners.
They also prevailed in the reverse fixture at Stadio Olimpico, 2-1, so they will be confident about their chances of progressing from this tie.
