AC Milan vs. Lazio: Match Prediction
This Serie A season, Milan has not been known for high-scoring games at home. In their last ten home league matches, they have exceeded one goal only twice and failed to score in three of those games. However, Milan's defense has been solid, conceding no more than one goal in 10 of their last 12 home Serie A matches, with seven clean sheets in that period.
Lazio has not always been confident away from home, often struggling creatively in this championship. In their last 14 away Serie A matches, Lazio has scored more than once only five times and has failed to score in three games. Meanwhile, in 8 of their last 10 away league matches, they have not allowed more than one goal.
I do not expect many goals in this encounter, so my prediction: Total under 3
