Lazio – AC Milan : Preview & Prediction
After Inter Milan against AS Roma this Saturday, it is Lazio Rome’s turn to face AC Milan on Sunday at 20:45. The end of the Milanese calendar is rather difficult but it is the path that must unfortunately be taken to hope to be champion on the 38th day. It’s a tough end to the season for Milan, but unfortunately they have to go down to the wire if they want to be champions in the 38th round of matches. Even if this defeat is not part of the championship, it may have serious consequences for Olivier Giroud and his teammates, who have won only one of their last three league games. The Rossoneri, who won 2-0 in the first leg, must rely on this game to leave Rome with a positive result in their pocket in order to stay top of the table.
In the midst of a battle to make it into Italy’s six-team European Cup line-up next season, the Romans have the same number of points as sixth-placed Fiorentina and are just two points behind rivals AS Roma (fifth). With only one defeat since March and four wins and one draw, Maurizio Sarri’s side are on a roll and will be relying on the great Ciro Immobile (25 goals this season) to find a way through Mike Maignan’s defence. Second best attacker in the league, Laziale will be hoping to crack their opponents’ defensive line and come away with at least a point!
Lazio Rome have scored 65 goals this season, 3 less than Inter Milan, the best attack in Serie A.
Lazio Rome have won 2 and drawn 1 at home.
AC Milan have won 4 of their last 5 matches, but lost 3-0 on their last trip to Rome.
AC Milan have the 3rd best defence in the league with 29 goals conceded.
AC Milan have 3 consecutive clean-sheets away from home.
AC Milan are a solid side in Serie A, but they need to respond to the slap in the face against Inter Milan. The Milanese have no choice but to take three points after the 90 minutes but Lazio want to be European next year, so they will not let it happen during the match. We’re playing the following very high odds: AC Milan win, but as an alternative and more reasonable prediction, we recommend “both teams score”!
