Lazio v AC Milan

Lazio vs AC Milan Preview

After being dealt a 2-1 defeat away from home at Fiorentina on Monday night in the Italian top flight, Lazio have dropped down to eighth place in the Serie A table where the hosts find themselves four points adrift of sixth placed Roma and the last European spot, while AC Milan sit in third place in the table where they possess a seven-point cushion over fifth placed Atalanta prior to this Friday night clash against Lazio.

Lazio have produced a mixed bag of results in recent times in the domestic top flight as Maurizio Sarri's side have slipped to three defeats within their last six games overall, suffering defeats at the hands of Atalanta, Bologna and Fiorentina respectively while also picking up victories over the likes of Cagliari and Torino, both of which were registered away from home.

Interestingly, four of these last six games also resulted in both teams scoring and despite Lazio picking up four wins on the trot beforehand with victories gained over Empoli, Frosinone, Udinese and Lecce respectively, the goals market looks the best option for this upcoming clash on Friday night especially as Lazio have scored in nine of their last 10 games overall.

AC Milan picked up a point on Sunday courtesy of a 1-1 draw at home with Atalanta as the visitors steadied the ship following a surprise 4-2 defeat away from home at Monza in the game before, but the overall picture has been pretty bright for Stefano Pioli's side as they have slipped to just the single defeat from their previous 11 games.

Within these 11 games, AC Milan have collected seven wins during this period which must surely place the visitors in a strong position to get something out of this upcoming encounter away from home at Lazio on Friday night while goals for both teams also looks fairly likely as seven of AC Milan's last 11 aforementioned games have also resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net as well.

In addition, it's interesting to note that no fewer than eight of AC Milan's last 10 outings on the road in Serie A have resulted in both teams scoring but also nine of these last 10 away games have also produced three goals or more, so the prospect of further goals being scored at the Stadio Olimpico on Friday night looks highly promising indeed!
