AC Milan vs Lazio Prediction & Betting tips
In the Italian Serie A, Juventus managed to defend their title successfully by winning the Scudetto, but the double will not celebrate the old lady around superstar Cristiano Ronaldo this season. Juventus had to say goodbye to the competition early on. This week the two finalists will be determined. In contrast to the German Cup competition, the finalist will not be played in 90 minutes, but in 180 minutes. On Wednesday evening, AC Milan and Lazio face each other at the San Siro in the firebombing duel!
The first leg was already completed two months ago, but was not necessarily the best advertisement for Italian football in the Olimpico of Rome. In a low-scoring game Lazio Rome could not exploit the optical field superiority and after 90 minutes was whistled at the score of 0: 0. In the second leg Simone Inzaghi’s team would already be drawn to goals (not 0-0) to fix the final – the away goals rule is intact. The bookies also see the guests in the advantage, because between AC Milan and Lazio Rome odds in the range of 1.60 for the finals of the Romans are offered. The start of the game for the second leg is on Wednesday evening at 19:45.
AC Milan:
Meanwhile, there is red alert at the Elf of Gennaro Gattuso. Five laps to go, the former top club and 18-time Italian champions threaten to miss the Champions League again. Only thanks to the direct comparison with Atalanta Bergamo won the Rossoneri are ahead of the Lombards. But the underdog is not the only competitor in the fight for the million-league. The AC Milan also feels the breath of Roma, Turin FC and Lazio Rome. Five teams fight in the finish for the coveted fourth place in the table. The Gattuso-Elf missed an important victory on the Easter weekend. The promoted from Parma led the guests into the final phase thanks to a Castillejo goal. In the 87th minute, Parma captain Bruno Alves (37) scored the equalizer with a free-kick. Thus, the Gattuso team has won only one of the last five league games. Should the Champions League be missed again, the days of Gattuso at AC Milan are probably finally counted. Not even the Coppa Italia title win would be arguable enough to convince the club officials.
The top priority is the top four in the league and in the last five games Milan has yet to play three away games. This is by no means an advantage given only five away wins. In San Siro Milan has so far averaged 2.00 points per game (10-5-3 balance sheet).
The recent results may not necessarily be in favor of a threesome, but the home record, the recent home games against Lazio and the fact that the Gattuso team, with the exception of the previous year’s final last in seven Coppa Italia games without conceding, leave in the duel between AC Milan and Lazio Rome quite a forecast in favor of the home side too. In the last three years, the Rossoneri each failed to Juventus – the old lady is known to have already eliminated and thus the way to the title could be free. Giacomo Bonaventura will not be available to the Milanese due to injury.
Lazio Rome:
For Lazio it put on the Easter weekend, a bitter defeat against the flying donkeys from Verona. Given the results of the competition, the team of Simone Inzaghi could have reported back in the fight for the premier class. Lazio Rome had to beat the home crowd but surprisingly beaten 1: 2. For Chievo Verona, this was only the second win of the season in the 33rd league game. The Serbian top star Sergei Milinkovic-Savic plays a large part in the defeat. The central midfielder took 34 minutes to assassinate him. An hour in deficit was finally too much – shortly after restart Chievo Verona managed with a double strike the preliminary decision.
The unexpected home defeat leaves Lazio still in eighth place and four points behind AC Milan. As a table eight, the team of head coach Simone Inzaghi would also definitely miss the qualification for the UEFA Europa League. Accordingly important for Lazio is the balancing act between Liga and Coppa Italia. The title win could ultimately be worth more than just gold for the capital’s team. However, the current form is similar to that of AC Milan – it could also be won only one of the last five league games.
At the bookmakers, the guests are currently traded as a favorite for the finals. Of course, Lazio is enough, for example, a 1-1 draw in San Siro, but as a particularly strong away from the Inzaghi-Elf can not be called with a 6-3-7 balance. It is striking that for away games from Lazio Rome a tip on the sub 2.5 is a good choice. Only in four of the 16 away games were three or more goals scored. In the Coppa Italia semi-final between AC Milan and Lazio, a tip on the Under 2.5 is accordingly interesting. Stefan Radu, Jordan Lukaku and Valon Berisha will not be available due to injury.
