Match between 2nd Milan and 5th Roma. Both teams need points - Milan for winning the tittle and Roma to take the position which leads to Champions league, but three points from this match could mean nothing if Juventus take one point from Reggio Calabria (Reggina) and Fiorentina three against Chievo.
One big player is back and fit for tomorrow - he is Francesco Totti. Totti was injured few months and his come back was against Inter in Cup final two days ago, what makes Roma more stronger - or almost same as Roma were 4 months ago (when they had 11 wins in a row). But, one other great player/defender, Christian Chivu got injured in the Cup final and defence without Chivu is surely weaker. Same as Roma, Milan have one big injury trouble: Andriy Shevchenko has problem with his knee and he'll be out for one month. All other players are fit.
Roma didn't succeed to win in the Cup final and also they aren't brilliant as they were (like I said) in the beginning of the second part of the season. But still they have team which is strong to face Milan at San Siro. On the other side Milan lost only once (Lecce 1-0) and drew 3 times in last 17 matches, what is really amasing.
I think that Milan and Roma will play with safety from the start and wait for the news from matches Juventus - Reggina and Chievo - Fiorentina. Or maybe this - Milan will start attacking from the first minute, but anyway Roma with Mexes, Cufre', Kuffour and Panucci can handle with Inzaghi, Gillardino, Seedorf and Kaka at least for one half. That is the reason why I'm picking draw at half time, but with medium stake.
Pick won. Result at half time 1:1
