Currently in Serie A, AC Milan and AS Roma are only in eighth and ninth place. There is a lot of room for improvement for both clubs, who could in principle save the season through the cup. AS Roma have not lost in seven league matches in Serie A recording four wins and three draws. Just this weekend they even managed to hold league leaders Napoli to a 1-1 draw. AC Milan is waiting for a win against AS Roma for three competitive matches. Both teams are keen to reach the semi-finals of the Coppa, which theoretically could be a city derby. The opponent will be decided in the game between Inter and Lazio at the end of February, meaning that the semi-finals could be either another Derby della Madonnina or a Derby della Capitale. The home game against the resurgent Roma is not coming in the right moment for the hosts. Considering that in the nine matches under Sergio Conceicao there was only one clean sheet it is quite unlikely to see another one vs Roma.
