Mile Svilar starts over Rui Patricio in goal for Roma versus Milan | OneFootball

Mile Svilar has gained a starting place over first-choice goalkeeper Rui Patricio for Roma in their clash against Milan tonight.

According to a line-up update by Gianluca Di Marzio, Roma have opted to start with Mile Svilar in between the sticks in a high-profile encounter versus Milan.

The Rossoneri are the second-best goalscoring side in the Serie A this season till now as they have netted 35 times and only league leaders Inter have scored more, with their tally at 49. This is set to be a challenging task for the Belgian stopper as he makes his first start of the season in the league after recording 7 appearances from the Europa League and the Coppa Italia combined.

The Giallorossi suffered exit from the Italian cup competition earlier last week and are now desperately looking for a response. Manager Jose Mourinho is set to serve his suspension from the sidelines but the dynamic individual will surely motivate his players in the right way to win this match.

Milan are expected to go with Christian Pulisic, Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud as the attacking trio as Roma will have headaches to sort out their attack with the injury of Paulo Dybala against Lazio.
