Betting on Milan
The battle for European places in Serie A is heating up, and even though Milan has remained undefeated for six matches in a row, it keeps dropping down positions in the standings.
After Wednesday’s matchday, Stefano Pioli’s team is currently sitting in sixth place with 58 points, the same as Atalanta, who is also fighting for a spot in Europe next season.
Despite its undefeated run, the Rossoneri team has only managed to win two of those last six matches, drawing in the other four. The team’s latest draw against Cremonese was a harsh one, considering it took place at home just hours before facing a tougher opponent like Lazio.
Milan’s defense is strong, which helped the team reach the Champions League semi-finals. There, the team will go face to face with Inter. This has also kept the team in the top positions of the Serie A. However, its performance could be much better if it weren’t for an offense that has not scored more than one goal in four of the last six matches..
Despite this, Milan is only two points behind Inter in fourth place, and it has the advantage of playing at home this Saturday. The team has only lost two matches at home this season. Moreover, it has not lost in the last six matches it played on its field, and 31 of the 53 goals it has scored this year, have been scored in front of its fanbase.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Mike Maignan; Pierre Kalulu, Simon Kjær, Fikayo Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Sandro Tonali, Rade Krunic; Ismael Bennacer, Brahim Diaz, Rafael Leao; Olivier Giroud.
Betting on Lazio
With only five matchdays left in the Serie A calendar, Lazio seems the team that is the most comfortable having secured a spot in next season’s Champions League.
After the team’s victory over Sassuolo, led by Maurizio Sarri, Lazio solidified its second place in the standings with 64 points, six more than Atalanta, Milan, and Roma, which are currently out of the Champions League with 58 points each.
Moreover, Lazio has one of the easiest schedules among the clubs in the European race. After its visit to Milan, the team will play two more matches away and two home matches, all against teams in the lower half of the standings.
The Lazio team has been doing a great job this season, having only conceded 24 goals in 33 matches, making it the second team that has conceded the least amount of goals in the tournament. Its offensive performance has also been impressive, ranking fifth in Serie A with 52 goals scored.
Additionally, when it comes to playing away from its home stadium, the Lazio team has proven to be strong and consistent. In fact, it is the second-best team in that regard, having earned 31 points out of a possible 48. The team has also only conceded 10 goals, making it the second-best team on defense, and has lost just one of its last eight away matches.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Ivan Provedel; Adam Marusic, Nicolo Casale, Alessio Romagnoli, Elseid Hysaj; Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Danilo Cataldi, Luis Alberto; Felipe Anderson, Ciro Immobile, Mattia Zaccagni.
JefeBet Prediction
It is true that the previous direct encounters between these clubs have left us with many goals on the final score, but this Saturday’s match will be quite closed and with a good defensive display.
In addition to Milan’s attack not being the best at the moment, the Rossoneri impenetrable in the last few matches, especially at home.
On the other hand, Lazio’s offense is one of the best in Serie A, but it has been somewhat inconsistent when playing away. The team has managed to balance that out with its defensive performance away, the second-best defense in the league playing in that condition.
Considering all these facts, a close fight for the European places, with good defensive performances, is expected to take place in this Milan vs Lazio clash.
Prediction: Under (MIL 1 – LAZ 1).
