Betfair Odds

After being winless in three consecutive matches, Italian giant AC Milan are all set to face off against Lazio tonight away from home. AC Milan are far behind the title race, although they stand in 3rd. Their city rival, Inter Milan, is now leading the league table with 69 points, while AC Milan earned 53 points from 26 matches in Serie A.

However, the Rossonerri have to be careful in their upcoming games to stay in the top four. Lazio, on the other hand, stand in 8th with 40 points. For the remainder of the season, it will be very difficult for them to qualify for the Champions League. So, it is obvious that they will be desperate to secure all three points when they host AC Milan tonight.

Prediction: Lazio 1-2 AC Milan

AC Milan have a very strong record against Lazio in their recent games. But the Rossonerri are not having their best form this season and are winless in their last three games across all competitions. However, AC Milan are still able to win against Lazio, as the Sarri’s side are also struggling in the league. Additionally, Lazio have lost two of their last three games in Serie A. Therefore, we are expecting that AC Milan will be the winner of tonight’s match at Stadio Olimpico.
