Prediction: 1-1
Milan
Stadio Olimpico will be the centre of attention when Lazio and AC Milan square off against each other in the opening match of the Serie A round 27. The Biancocelesti aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Fiorentina and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Rossoneri. Fit-again midfielder Mattia Zaccagni is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while both Patric and Nicolo Rovella are out of contention through injuries.
Stefano Pioli’s men, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Atalanta in their last league match. Milan are eager to stay in the Champions League berth, but beating Lazio in “the Eternal City” is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that punters from all around the world can find value in betting on draw. Serbia forward Luka Jovic is banned for the visiting side, while midfielder Tommaso Pobega has yet to overcome a hamstring injury.
