Roma will host AC Milan in their third Serie A game of the season on Friday at the Stadio Olimpico. Jose Mourinho's side is winless after the first two rounds in the Italian league and will be up against the Serie A log leaders who have scored six goals in their first two fixtures.
Milan started their league season with a 2-0 win over Bologna before thrashing Torino 4-1 at home. They have clearly found form in front of goal at the start of the season. Milan will be confident of making it three wins in a row to extend their lead at the top of the table.
