FREE FOOTBALL TIP: AC Milan vs. Lazio - Italian Cup

Details:

Both Milan and Lazio are coming into the game after huge road wins in the lst round of the Serie A.

Milan kept the pace with Inter after a 2-1 comeback win. Olivier Giroud scored twice in a four-minute span to win the game for the ‘rossnerri’ who are now only one point shy of Inter and tied with Napoli on second place.

There is no bigger confidence boost for Milan than winning against Inter and they will have a major chance to advance to the semifinals of the cup. The only question is how important the cup is for coach Stefano Pioli as the team has a chance to fight for the Scudetto after a while.

Milan defeated Genoa after overtime in the previous round of the cup and has two wins, two draws and one loss in the last five games in all competitions.

Lazio also had a successful weekend after a 3-0 win over Fiorentina. Now Lazio is sixth in the standings and still has a chance to reach the place that leads to the Champions League next season. The Eagles are six-point shy of Juventus who is currently fourth.

Lazio also needed overtime to defeat Udinese in the previous round of the cup and just like Milan, they also have two wins, two draws and one loss in the last five games in all competitions.

Key facts

• Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Simon Kjaer are not available for Milan while Fikayo Tomori and Ante Rebic are questionable
• Francesco Acerbi and Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro are not available for Lazio
• Milan has won three of the last five games against Lazio

The team that will risk more and gets out with their best players available will probably win this one. Milan and Lazio have not played a tied game in their last seven encounters and that is expected tonight as well. Lazio seems like the more motivated team as the ‘rossonerri’ are pretty exhausted after defeating Inter for the weekend. Milan won 2-0 in the last match against Lazio in San Siro but Lazio won the last one 3-0 in Rome. Our prediction is a double chance on Lazio as the visitors are expected to go all-in against Milan. They scored 3 goals on the road in Firenze for the weekend and will probably score at least one hoping to take the game at least to overtime where anything is possible.
