Lazio

DWDDWL

Lazio will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 2-1 Serie A losing effort in their last game against Udinese.

In that match, Lazio managed 65% possession and 18 shots at goal with 5 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Lazio was Gustav Isaksen (95'). Udinese had 8 attempts at goal with 3 on target. Lorenzo Lucca (5') and Florian Thauvin (49') scored for Udinese.

Lazio haven’t been able to stop scoring goals, hitting the target in one hundred percent of their last 6 games.

They’ve hit an aggregate of 10 during that time while also conceding a total of 7. That kind of trend won’t necessarily be carried forward into this match, however.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Lazio:

• have not won against AC Milan in their previous 3 league matches.
• have not been beaten in their last 6 league matches at home.

AC Milan

📋 Team News: Lazio

Luca Pellegrini (traffic accident), Mario Gila (Hamstring injury) and Diego González (muscular problems) won’t be able to feature for Lazio gaffer Marco Baroni.

We think that i Biancocelesti could kick off with a 4-3-3 system for this game, beginning the first half with Ivan Provedel, Manuel Lazzari, Patric, Alessio Romagnoli, Nuno Tavares, Matteo Guendouzi, Nicolo Rovella, Gaetano Castrovilli, Gustav Isaksen, Valentin Castellanos and Mattia Zaccagni.

📋 Team News: AC Milan

AC Milan boss Paulo Fonseca has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Marco Sportiello (Hand injury), Álvaro Morata (Muscle injury) and Alessandro Florenzi (Cruciate ligament injury) are not able to play.

It’s our belief that i Rossoneri appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, settling for Mike Maignan, Emerson Royal, Fikayo Tomori, Strahinja Pavlovic, Theo Hernandez, Youssouf Fofana, Tijjani Reijnders, Christian Pulisic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Rafael Leao and Noah Okafor.

✨ Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that AC Milan and Lazio could both find goals hard to come by here.

That’s why our selection here is for a 0-0 scoreline at the end of this game.
