Lazio vs AC Milan Prediction 24.01.2023

• Competition: Italy - Serie A
• Date: Tuesday, 24th, January 2023
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20.45 CET
• Venue: Stadio Olimpico (Rome)

After the inglorious results at the beginning of the new calendar year, Lazio achieved a routine victory in a very unpleasant visit to Sassuolo (2-0). It was the 10th victory of the season for "The White and Sky Blues" from 18 rounds, who currently occupy the fourth position in the Serie A table with 34 points on their account. The goal of the club from the capital of Italy is definitely a placement in the UEFA Champions League, so if they want to turn their dreams into reality, they must by no means relax, because Atalanta and AS Roma are breathing down their necks with the same number of points won.

Meanwhile, AC Milan arrive in Rome in a rather bad mood, after Inter, to put it mildly, ran over them within the Super Cup of Italy, played in Riyadh, with a result of 3-0. With that failure, the "Rossoneri" were left without the first trophy of the season, and as things currently stand, it is very likely that they will end the current campaign empty-handed. After returning from the World Cup break, Milan was eliminated by Torino in the Coppa Italia, while they are behind Napoli in the domestic championship by a huge 12 points (with a match less), and in the knockout phase of the UEFA Champions League they are far from a serious competitor for the trophy.

Lazio vs AC Milan Betting Tips: BTTS

The two rivals met three times during the previous season, and all three belonged to the Rossoneri. In addition to AC Milan winning the maximum six points in the league duels, they also outclassed Lazio 4-0 in the Coppa Italia.

Defense may have been Lazio's trademark at the start of the season, but lately the defensive segment of the game is almost unrecognizable. They are making cardinal mistakes in defense more and more often, which is best shown by the fact that they have taken the ball out of their net at least twice in three of the last four Serie A games.

It is evident that they lack defensive strength, but it should be borne in mind that the "Biancocelesti" have a big attacking arsenal. The fact that they failed to find a way to the goal only three times out of 18 games played this season speaks enough that they have an extremely lavish and potent offensive potential.

One gets the impression that the late draw with Roma (2-2) left a deep mark on the Milan players, draw which constantly resounds in their ears. The Rossoneri are totally thrown out of rhythm lately, since they are winless in the previous four competitive games, and what worries coach Stefano Pioli much more is that his team shows no signs of waking up.

It is safe to say that Milan is not even a pale shadow of last year's champion of Serie A. Primarily because of the back line, which is very thin and undisciplined. The fact that the "Rossoneri" managed to finish the match without conceding a goal in only one of the previous 10 league matches sounds incredible.

Tradition is on the side of the club from the city of "fashion", but Lazio enters with better momentum. It turns out that the defense is the weaker side of both teams, while in attack they look impeccably well. Taking into account their resourcefulness and creativity in front of the goal, we believe that both teams will register on the scoreboard.
