Saturday, at 19:30, AC Milan will receive the visit of Lazio Rome in a match for the 32nd Serie A. The match will take place at the “San Siro” stadium in Milan.
With no victory in the last four stages, where they have only one point, AC Milan is preparing for a crucial Saturday match on the San Siro in the company of a fourth-placed striker. In fact, it is a wonder how Gattuso’s band continues to hold on to the last place of the UEFA Champions League, given the recent form. On the other hand, we can also think that the Milanese also had bad luck. The defeats at the Inter (2-3) and Juventus (0-1) rivals, plus an unmerited draw with Udinese (1-1), contributed to the disappointing ranking of Gennaro Gattuso’s band.
On the other side, Lazio does not do that well. Exactly when the world was dearest, the “biancocelestii” lost points not allowed against the modest SPAL (0-1) and Sassuolo (2-2) in the last two rounds. Basically, with five natural points, in addition to these two matches, Lazio would have been without a problem in the 4th position now in Serie A. The inconsistency, detachment and underestimation of the opponent costly the students of Simone Inzaghi, who are facing a very difficult mission Saturday night on “San Siro”.
In the last ten direct confrontations between the two bands, AC Milan imposed four times, Lazio only once, while the other five duels ended in a draw;
The previous direct dispute took place in the tournament of the Italian Cup semifinals, on the “Olimpico”, where the two teams drew, score 0-0;
Lazio‘s last success of “San Siro” in front of Milan dates from January 2015, from a 1-0;
Probable teams:
AC Milan (4-3-3): Reina – Calabria, Musacchio, Romagnoli, Rodriguez – Kessie, Bakayoko, Calhanoglu – Suso, Piatek, Borini
Lazio (3-5-2): Strakosha- Luiz Felipe, Acerbi, Bastos- Romulo, Parolo, Leiva, Milinkovic-Savic, Lulic-Caicedo, Immobile
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a positive result in favor of the hosts. Bearing in mind the strength of his own ground, Milan’s offensive incisiveness, but also the defensive defeats of the lashes, who have played impenetrable lately in the face of lower opponents, we think AC Milan will not lose this duel.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1.75
