Lazio vs AC Milan Prediction and Betting Tips | 1st March 2024
Serie A returns to the fold with another set of matches this week as Lazio lock horns with Stefano Pioli's AC Milan in an important encounter at the Stadio Olimpico on Friday.
Lazio vs AC Milan Preview
Lazio are currently in eighth place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The home side slumped to a shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of Fiorentina last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
AC Milan, on the other hand, are in third place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this season. The Rossoneri were held to a 1-1 draw by Atalanta in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this week.

Lazio vs AC Milan Prediction
AC Milan have managed to consolidate their place in the top four this season but are now 16 points behind arch-rivals Inter Milan in the title race. The likes of Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao have shown glimpses of their ability with the Rossoneri and will need to make the most of the talent at their disposal on Friday.
Lazio are in the midst of a slump at the moment and have been inconsistent on the domestic front. AC Milan have been the better team this season and hold the upper hand going into this game.
