"Claiming what was an essential domestic boost earlier in the week as they clung to a 2-1 victory at home against Italian high-flyers Sassuolo, Lazio will be desperate to use that stunning last-gasp winner as a platform to build on. However, despite dragging themselves back into the top-half of the Serie A standings, Maurizio Sarri has found some serious pressure on his shoulders."
"Winning just a pair of their previous 10 appearances across all competitions within 90 minutes, the former Chelsea boss almost finds his inconsistent squad sat in Serie A limbo. Knowing that they have a major battle on their hands in the race to book any kind of European ticket for next season, Sarri's side will be bracing themselves for a stern examination."
"As for the visitors, securing Milan bragging rights last weekend as they claimed an iconic 1-0 victory against their arch-rivals, Max Allegri's men certainly find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Although the Rossoneri might have an almighty task on their hands in the race to dethrone Inter at the top of the Serie A standings, Sunday's guests are cruising their way."
Lazio hosts AC Milan in a significant Serie A match at Stadio Olimpico on Sunday. Lazio recently defeated Sassuolo 2-1 but struggle with inconsistency, winning only two of their last ten matches across all competitions. Manager Maurizio Sarri faces pressure as the team battles for European qualification. Lazio will be without midfielder Danilo Cataldi due to a calf injury, academy player Nicolo Rovella, and defender Samuel Gigot for the season. AC Milan arrives in strong form after defeating rivals Inter 1-0, positioning themselves well in the title race. Milan are favored at 11/10 odds to win, reflecting their current momentum and competitive advantage.
