We have a full round of Italian Serie A fixtures to enjoy this week and on Wednesday the 23rd of December AC Milan host Lazio at the San Siro.
The hosts begin this week top of the table on 31 points while the visitors are in 8th place on 21 points.
AC Milan come into the match having defeated Sassuolo 2-1 away from home on the weekend. AC Milan took the lead almost immediately from the kick-off and doubled their advantage 25 minutes later. Sassuolo got a goal back in the 89th minute but there was not enough time for them to mount a recovery.
That result means AC Milan are undefeated in their last 10 games in all competitions. Their record in Serie A is strong and AC Milan have yet to taste defeat in the league this season. You must go back to the game at home against Genoa on the 8th of March to find the last time the Rossoneri lost a Serie A match.
However, AC Milan have won only one of their last 4 home Serie A games, with the victory coming against Fiorentina. There have been draws against Roma, Hellas Verona, and Parma.
Trends show AC Milan have won by 2 or more goals 13 of their last 25 league games. Of their last 10 games in Serie A, AC Milan have seen 9 in which both teams have scored plus AC Milan have managed to score at least two goals in 24 of their 25 most recent Serie A matches.
Lazio make the trip to the San Siro having defeated Napoli 2-0 at home on the weekend. The goals were scored by Ciro Immobile in the 9th minute and Luis Alberto in the 56th minute. It was an important victory for Lazio having gone 3 matches without a win.
There was a defeat at home against Hellas Verona plus a draw at Benevento in Serie A. Lazio were also held to a draw at home by Club Brugge in the Champions League.
Lazio are undefeated in their last 4 away Serie A games, picking up wins against Torino, Crotone, and Spezia. Lazio have scored at least one goal in all of their last 9 Serie A games plus they have seen both teams score in 17 of their last 22 away league matches.
Team news and AC Milan will be without Franck Yannick Kessie who is suspended. Simon Kjær, Ante Rebic, Sandro Tonali, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Matteo Gabbia, and Ismaël Bennacer are all on the treatment table.
Lazio are without the injured trio of Mohamed Fares, Lucas Leiva, and Silvio Proto. Senad Lulic is a doubt.
This has the makings of being an extremely exciting game with both teams scoring goals. Lazio have been in good form away from home but AC Milan are proving tough opposition for every team in Serie A this season. The hosts must be the favourites to take maximum points, with over 2.5 goals scored.
