Connection Established: Milano links to Laccio.
The Italian Championship 2021/22 season is in full swing, and the third game day will see a highly anticipated match between AC Milan and SS Lazio on September 12, 7:00 PM (Moscow time) at the San Siro stadium.
Lazio, currently leading a group of five teams with the maximum number of points after two rounds, will be looking to continue their impressive form following their opening game day victory against Empoli (3:1) away. In the previous round, they defeated Spezia (6:1) at the Stadio Olimpico.
Milan, on the other hand, are unbeaten in their last seven games in the national championship, having won six and drawn one. Their last match at the San Siro saw them defeat Cagliari (4:1), with Olivier Giroud scoring a brace, and Sandro Tonali and Rafael Leao each scoring one goal.
However, several players from Milan are unavailable or questionable, including Giroud, Yassin Adli, Pierre Kalulu, Junior Messias, Rade Krunić, and Frank Kessié. This could potentially disrupt their usual rhythm.
Lazio's away record (W9+D2-L9, goals 28:33) and the "both teams to score - no and under 3.5 goals" combination in their away matches deserve attention, with ten (50%) featuring this combination. This could suggest a defensive approach from Lazio on the road.
The probable lineups for the two teams are as follows:
For Milan, Mike Maignan is expected to start in goal, with Theo Hernandez, Simon Kjaer, Davide Calabria, and Daniele Bonera forming the defense. Ismael Bennacer, Alexis Saelemakers, Brahim Diaz, Sandro Tonali, and Hakan Çalhanoğlu are likely to make up the midfield, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Rafael Leao should lead the attack.
For Lazio, Pepe Reina is expected to start in goal, with Adam Marusic, Luis Felipe, Stefan Radu, and Marcos Antonio forming the defense. Luis Alberto, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, and Luis Nani are likely to make up the midfield, while Ciro Immobile and Felipe Anderson should lead the attack.
The odds for "Both teams to score and Under (5.5)" in the match Milan - Lazio are 1.79 at Marathon BC line. The prediction for this encounter is an evenly matched one, with Milan having a slight virtual advantage in the odds.
Historically, Lazio has been a favorable opponent for Milan, as evidenced by their statistical summary in the Serie A encounters since 1929. However, in the last eleven visits to Milan, "The Whites and Blues" have won only once and failed to score against "The Red and Blacks" at San Siro four times.
This promises to be an exciting encounter between two well-matched teams. With key players missing for both sides, the outcome remains uncertain. Stay tuned for the thrilling clash between AC Milan and SS Lazio at the San Siro.
