Wednesday, at 19:45, AC Milan will receive the visit of Lazio in a match for the return of the Italian Cup semifinals. The game will take place at the “San Siro” stadium in Milan.
Surely we can not expect a spectacular showdown on Wednesday night in the return of the first Italian Cup semifinals between AC Milan and Lazio. After 0-0 in the tour, on “Olimpico”, the circumstances find the two groups in a situation sensitive to both sides. While Lazio just gives the impression that the fight for a place of Europe, losing lightly points against bands like SPAL, Sassuolo or even the last-ranked Chievo, Milan does not do better either. In fact, Rino Gattuso’s band is doing a little better, as his only success in the last six rounds came in the “biancocelestilor” company. Indeed, the two groups also met on the “San Siro” on April 13, in the championship, in a tricky match where the hosts had a win due to a penalty.
In the last ten direct confrontations between the two bands, AC Milan was forced four times, Lazio only once, while the other five matches ended in a draw;
In none of the previous five duels we have witnessed gaps on either side;
The last direct game took place less than 2 weeks ago, also on “San Siro”, and ended with a score of 1-0 for “rossoneri”;
Probable teams:
AC Milan (4-3-3): Reina, Calabria, Musacchio, Romagnoli, Rodriguez, Kessie, Bakayoko, Paqueta, Suso, Piatek, Calhanoglu
Lazio (3-5-2): Strakosha- Luiz Felipe, Acerbi, Bastos-Romulo, Milinkovic-Savic, Leiva, Luis Alberto, Lulic-Correa, Immobile
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a balanced deployment of hostilities. At a time when neither of the two combatants succeeds in imposing their style in the championship and has great difficulty in creating successful offensive phases regardless of the opponent’s name, we think we will witness a little duel. At the same time, we believe that Milan will not lose the game, at least in the first 90 minutes, and will teach with the teeth in front of an opponent as atypical, so “troubled” at the moment.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / NO @ 1,79
