Hosts continue to struggle

Lazio sets up for game 26 of their Serie A season, sitting down in seventh place with their hopes of landing a European finish fading fast. The team impressed last season when working their way into a position of strength, with fans hoping they’d improve on that and keep building in this campaign, but things didn’t go according to plan. Lazio is currently seventh in the table, with their stats for the campaign showing a dozen wins, four draws, and nine defeats.

Lazio continues to blow hot and cold, with their last five games showing two wins, a pair of defeats, and a single draw. They’ve won two of their previous three games and landed victory last weekend when beating Torino 2-0 on the road thanks to goals from Guendouzi and Cataldi, both scored in the second half. Gila was sent off near the end, meaning he’ll miss this game, and it remains to be seen if Lazio will feel his absence.

Visitors remain in the mix

Fans of AC Milan are envious of their rivals this season as they watch on while Inter Milan seemingly runs away with the league title. AC Milan is currently in third place, with their title hopes dying with the passing of each game. AC Milan currently has 53 points on the board, while their derby rivals have already collected 66 points and are pulling clear on the back of an extended winning run. AC Milan’s best hope looks to be finishing in the silver medal spot.

AC Milan is without a win in its last two games, collecting one point from the six available. They suffered a surprise 4-2 defeat away to Monza in the Serie A before going down 3-2 to Rennes in France on Europa League duty, although they did progress 5-3 on aggregate. We last saw AC Milan on Sunday when they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by an improving Atalanta side that refused to accept defeat.

Lazio vs AC Milan prediction

Lazio is the home team here, but their recent form makes them difficult to trust following a less-than-convincing run of results. Lazio has lost half of its last four games and won only two of its previous five outings, meaning they enter this latest game low on confidence. It’ll take a huge effort from Lazio to exit this game with all three points.

AC Milan looks the most likely winner of the points here as they are on the road but sit higher in the league table with 13 more points on the board. That’s quite a gap, and AC Milan could show why they’re in the hunt for a Champions League finish if they play at their best. The away team has the skills and experience to snag an important three points.
