AC Milan vs Lazio Live Stats & Betting Odds
AC Milan Prediction – Can AC Milan stay in touch?
The hosts head into this Sunday evening encounter with 5th placed Lazio in danger of dropping further behind the top six in the Italian top flight as AC Milan have posted some mixed results in recent weeks, which have seen the hosts record just 2 wins out of their last 7 matches overall.
Victories against Genoa and SPAL have just about helped AC Milan maintain a position in the top half of Serie A, but 4 defeats within this last 7-match period has prevented Sunday’s hosts from lifting themselves closer to the top six.
Losses to fierce rivals, Inter Milan, along with Torino, Fiorentina and Roma perhaps underline AC Milan’s decline and falling by the wayside against the stronger teams in the division, but this upcoming clash with Lazio provides the hosts with a chance to close the gap.
An inconsistent looking home record of 2-1-2 5/7 steers me towards the draw here instead of the straight win markets and we see that 4 of the last 6 meetings between AC Milan and Lazio have ended in stalemate.
Lazio Prediction – Can Lazio win three on trot?
Given AC Milan’s inconsistency in recent matches, the possibility of Lazio claiming a third win on the trot at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza looks reasonably likely, especially as Lazio have posted recent back-to-back wins against Fiorentina and Torino amidst an overall unbeaten run of 5 matches in Serie A.
Lazio still remain unbeaten at home, winning 3 of their 5 league wins to date on home turf at their Stadio Olimpico, which includes wins against Parma, Genoa and Torino, while away from home, the visitors have also struggled for consistency as they’ve posted victories at Sampdoria and Fiorentina but have also fallen to defeats at SPAL and Inter Milan.
3 of Lazio’s 5 away matches to date have seen both teams score and again, the well priced draw seems the best option considering Lazio’s mixed bag of results on the road, which is evident from their away record of 2-1-2 8/6.
Historically, there’s also been very few goals between these two teams in previous encounters which enhances the chances of a draw here.

- AC Milan have won just 2 of their last 7 matches overall in Serie A

Betting Tips Verdict
