AC Milan and Lazio Prepare for Serie A Clash: Odds, Picks, and Analysis

AC Milan, under the helm of coach Stefano Pioli, gear up for a crucial Serie A encounter against Lazio at the iconic Stadio Olimpico in Rome. The match promises to be a test of skills and tactics as the Biancocelesti face off against the Rossoneri. Kick-off is set for 19:45 UK time, with the stakes high for both teams.

Despite a recent shaky spell, AC Milan had shown promise in the early weeks of the year with undefeated streaks, securing important victories over notable opponents. However, their form slightly faltered in the past few matches, most notably with a draw against Empoli. The team’s injury list includes Tommaso Pobega sidelined with a knee injury and Luka Jovic missing due to disqualification.

Lazio’s recent performances have been a rollercoaster, with impressive wins juxtaposed against unexpected losses. Victories against Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, and Napoli have been countered by defeats to Udinese, Sassuolo, and Atalanta, leaving the team in the 8th spot in the Serie A standings. Maurizio Sarri will have to navigate the absence of players like Patric and Nicolo Rovella in the upcoming clash against AC Milan.

In their previous meeting, AC Milan emerged victorious with a 2-0 win over Lazio courtesy of goals from Christian Pulisic and Noah Okafor. Tactical formations are expected to play a crucial role in determining the outcome of this Serie A contest.
