The weekend’s Serie A action involves a key battle in the top four race and these Milan vs. Lazio predictions give an update on the latest Champions League picture. Hosts Milan are currently just outside the Champions League qualification spots, based on goal difference, with Lazio in second place.
Milan vs. Lazio odds
1 – Milan to win – 1/1
2 – Milan under 2.5 total goals – 2/11
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 13/20
4 – Both teams not to score – 17/20
5 – Milan to win 1-0 – 27/5
The battle for Champions League qualification could go all the way to the final weekend of the Serie A season in 2022-23, with two or three spots still up for grabs. Napoli have already confirmed their place in next season’s tournament, but the remaining places are yet to be decided.
Milan’s home game against Lazio this weekend could have a big role to play in the final placings, with Stefano Pioli’s side unbeaten at the San Siro in their last seven games across all competitions. That consistency at home should tip the balance for them, with Lazio losing out to Torino and Inter at the end of April.
Pioli’s charges have been solid, and maybe a little unspectacular, across league and European action in 2023, with goals at a premium for his team. They have only scored eight goals in that seven-match unbeaten streak with none of those matches featuring over 2.5 goals scored in total after 90 minutes of action.
Alongside a reduction in the number of goals being scored, Milan have been forced to tighten up in defence, due to the lack of forward firepower. They have an incredible record of one goal conceded in their last seven home games, with Lazio not really showing enough to suggest they can break through such a solid unit.
As it stands, Lazio still look to be in a strong position to secure a return to the Champions League, even if they do slip up at the San Siro. But Milan’s own top four fate is delicately balanced, with the potential for tiebreakers, up against Inter and Roma, if they are unable to claim an outright place, or win this season’s Champions League.
