Today Lazio and Milan will open the new week. Milan have stumbled a bit in recent games, they haven't won their last three matches. They have conceded 8 goals in these games, which shows the weakness of their defense. They have conceded a lot of goals in general this season. They had chased Juve in the league but missed the opportunity to catch them after failing to win their last two games. They still have a chance to finish 2nd and they are in a comfortable position in 3rd place, with no team below them close enough to bother them.
Lazio on the other hand are having good and bad results. They don't have much ambition in the league, they are in the middle of the table but they have Bayern München game on their minds. I think that's where all their focus is. So I don't think they can prepare much for the Milan game.
In the last matches between the two teams, there has always been a winner, never a draw. And usually the home team have won. But I see Milan with the advantage today. Lazio's mind will be on the next game. Milan seems to have more appetite for second place in the league. At odds above 2.05, a Milan win is a risk worth taking to me.
The Serie A game for the weekend will be opened with a tussle between Lazio who are very much confident in themselves and their ability so far to outshine Milan. They're the hosts and they've been able to record an encouraging game outcome in the past few weeks. The Serie A is gradually becoming a competitive league and it won't be a shock to see Lazio who for one in past times have been good competitors in the league, hold unto Milan till the last minutes.
Checking the team stats, Lazio have been seen to have more wins than Milan, at thesame time, possessing bigger chances this time due to the drop in Milan's intensity of performance. Inter Milan have in the last weeks struggled to stay in every game they've had and even the few wins they've had were narrow victories which isn't a fully vested confidence against Lazio tonight. They're the visitors, they've had less wins all time against Lazio, recent performances have been poor and so there's less advantage for them to come out as the victors today.
The odds in the game favours Lazio and then it's understandable that Milan will have to put in extra fighting efforts to give off a good, better performance. Fairly, the game ought to end in a draw, bit the chances are very much slim. They'll be inflow of goals no doubt but for my prediction, just one from these teams would gain the 3points tonight. We'd only have to stay back and watch patiently to see which of the two teams would have a brilliant performance played out on the pitch tonight too.
