AS Roma vs AC Milan preview: Team news, line-ups, where to watch on TV

Preview, form, head-to-head, team news and broadcast details for AS Roma vs AC Milan clash at Stadio Olimpico

AS Roma host AC Milan at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday, January 25, 2026, in a Serie A fixture that could have a direct impact on the title race and the Champions League places.

The match is scheduled for 20:45 local time in Rome, and it arrives with both clubs sitting in the top four and separated by only four points, with second-placed Milan being three points behind leaders Inter.

How the teams go into the game: form

Roma come into the weekend with encouragement from Europe, having beaten Stuttgart 2-0 in the Europa League on Thursday, a result that lifted them in their group and provided a timely boost at the Olimpico.

In Serie A, however, their recent stretch has been less convincing, with results fluctuating and pressure increasing to turn solid performances into consistent points, especially against top sides. Roma have won all their last three league matches after away defeats to Atalanta, Juventus and Cagliari.

Milan’s form has been more stable across the league campaign. They have only one defeat in 21 Serie A matches, which shows why they are firmly in the title picture.

They remain within touching distance of Inter at the top, and Sunday offers a chance to keep that pressure on in a weekend where other contenders also face difficult fixtures.

AS Roma vs AC Milan: Head-to-head

This fixture has swung back and forth over the last 12 months, with both sides landing big results. Earlier this season, Milan edged Roma 1-0 at San Siro on November 2, 2025, but Roma won 3-1 in their last league meeting in Rome on May 18, 2025. They also met in the Coppa Italia last season, when Milan won 3-1 on February 5, 2025.

It should be noted that Roma have won just one of their last five home games against Milan, who have celebrated three road wins in that stretch.

AS Roma vs AC Milan: Team news

Roma boss Gian Piero Gasperini may again have to cope without Evan Ferguson, whose availability remains uncertain. Roma’s options are further reduced by the continued absences of Mario Hermoso, Angeliño and Stephan El Shaarawy, all of whom remain sidelined.

Milan, meanwhile, are monitoring the fitness of Alexis Saelemaekers, who is struggling with an adductor issue and is their main doubt. Head coach Massimiliano Allegri could freshen up his line-up by restoring Luka Modrić to the starting XI after the former Real Madrid midfielder started on the bench against Lecce.
