Lazio vs AC Milan tips and predictions: Leaky Rossoneri to suffer another setback

At the beginning of the round, Milan is in third place in the league table, while Lazio is in eighth place after a defeat in the previous round.

Maurizio Sarri’s side have lost three of their last five matches and have potentially had one eye on their Champions League journey.

They were beaten by Fiorentina last time out despite leading 1-0 at half-time through Luis Alberto’s goal. Their 10th defeat of the season leaves them eight points behind the Champions League spots.

AC Milan have recently put together an unbeaten run of nine matches but the visitors suffered a surprise defeat to Monza before their draw with Atalanta.

Their potent attack has fired in 53 goals this campaign but their defence is the weakest in the top half, conceding 32 goals, and that was clear to see in the 4-2 loss to Monza.

The majority of those goals have come on their travels where Stefano Pioli’s side have let in two or more in nine of their previous 11.

Lazio have only scored more than once in one of their previous eight at home but they’ve been in reasonably good form since Christmas and should stand to benefit from the visitor's leaky defence.

Key stats

- There have been over 2.5 goals in four of Lazio’s last five matches
- Lazio haven’t suffered back-to-back losses at home since December 2020
- AC Milan have conceded two or more goals in four consecutive away games
- AC Milan have lost back-to-back away games in all competitions

Suggested bets

Over 2.5 goals
