Lazio VS AC Milan - Prediction

After being winless in three consecutive matches, Italian giant AC Milan are all set to face off against Lazio tonight away from home. AC Milan are far behind the title race, although they stand in 3rd. Their city rival, Inter Milan, is now leading the league table with 69 points, while AC Milan earned 53 points from 26 matches in Serie A. However, the Rossonerri have to be careful in their upcoming games to stay in the top four. Lazio, on the other hand, stand in 8th with 40 points. For the remainder of the season, it will be very difficult for them to qualify for the Champions League. So, it is obvious that they will be desperate to secure all three points when they host AC Milan tonight.
