Lazio will look to take a step closer to securing Champions League qualification when they head to Stadio Giuseppe Meazza to take on AC Milan in the Serie A on Saturday afternoon. The visitors are currently in second place in Serie A, with 64 points after 33 matches, 15 points behind runaway leaders Napoli, but just one point ahead of Juventus in third. Lazio snapped up back-to-back losses with a much-needed 2-0 win in their last match against Sassuolo, which takes their record to four wins and two losses in their last six league matches. Over the course of the season, Lazio have been solid on the road, recording nine wins, four, draws, and three losses in 16 away matches this season. In the reverse fixture, Lazio dominated this opponent and came away with a 4-0 victory on their home patch, which will give them loads of confidence heading into this crucial fixture. With fixtures piling up for their opponents, and having seen them drop important points in recent weeks, Lazio will fancy their chances of taking something away from this match, maybe even all three points. 

As for AC Milan, following that incredible 4-0 win over the league leaguers Napoli at the start of last month, they’ve been fairly poor and have dropped points in matches that they would have expected to win. The hosts drew their last match 1-1 against Cremonense, which was their fourth draw in their last six matches, along with two wins. Within that time, Milan played out a stalemate against Empoli and 1-1 draws against Bologna and Roma. The hosts have been good at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza this season, taking 34 points of a possible 48, with a record 10 wins, four draws, and two losses in 16 home matches. While Milan are still involved in the Champions League this season, they will not want to leave their hopes of qualifying for next year’s edition with having to win this year’s tournament. A win in this match could prove to be a crucial one come end of the season.
