AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri is confident facing AS Roma tonight.

Allegri is aware of Roma's improving form.

"Roma? I hope we win tomorrow," he admitted on Milan Channel on Friday.

"It will not be an easy match - the Giallorossi have changed their way of playing, they've defended much better in the last two games too, where they won 1-0 without conceding a goal.

"They hold possession very well and when not in possession they are improving. They are always dangerous going forward and tomorrow [Francesco] Totti should return.

"We'll have to play a very good game, both from a technical point of view and in terms of tension and pace."
