This fixture at San Siro brings together two teams with defensive vulnerabilities and a track record of high-scoring matches. AC Milan’s recent form has been inconsistent, and their struggles against top-half opposition have been evident all season. Lazio, meanwhile, have found it difficult to get results on the road against Serie A’s strongest sides, but they still carry an attacking threat. With both teams regularly finding the net but struggling at the back, this match has all the makings of an open contest.

AC Milan vs Lazio

Both Teams to Score | |
7/10 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning AC Milan and Lazio both struggle defensively but pose attacking threats. Milan’s inconsistency and Lazio’s poor away record suggest an open, high-scoring match with goals at both ends. | |
Rationale:
Key Stats:
- Six of AC Milan’s last eight home games have ended with both teams scoring.
- Lazio have lost four of their five away matches against top-10 Serie A sides this season.
- Milan have kept only two clean sheets in 11 matches against teams in the top half of the table.
Rationale
AC Milan have endured a difficult spell, losing three of their last five matches in all competitions. Their Champions League exit has been a significant setback, and their domestic form has also taken a hit, with defensive frailties becoming increasingly apparent. Across their 11 matches against Serie A’s top-half sides, they have managed to keep just two clean sheets, indicating a consistent struggle when facing stronger opposition.
Lazio, on the other hand, have been far from convincing when travelling to face the league’s top teams. Four defeats from five away trips to top-10 sides suggest that they often come up short in these fixtures. Their latest setback came against Inter Milan in midweek, where they once again failed to deliver against a high-calibre opponent.
Despite their defensive issues, both teams have shown they are capable of scoring. Milan have seen both teams score in six of their last eight home games, while Lazio’s away record suggests they are likely to get on the scoresheet as well. The Biancocelesti average over a goal per game on their travels, making it highly probable that they will contribute to another high-scoring affair at San Siro. Given the trends, backing both teams to find the net looks like the best approach, with a 2-2 draw also a tempting prediction.
