Lazio vs AC Milan prediction

AC Milan have been in good form throughout this campaign, suffering just two defeats. In typical Allegri style, though, they play a very reactive and defensive, often dull style of football. So-called ‘Sarri-ball’ is now exceptionally tedious with a lack of quality to effectively produce the seemingly overly sophisticated style of play. As a result, it is likely to be a low-scoring encounter but the visitors do remain the favourites down in Rome.
