AC Milan will host the table-toppers Lazio at San Siro in Milan on 12th September 2021 at 21:30 IST. Despite being in top form, Lazio are the underdogs going into this contest. Both the teams will be looking to keep their winning streak intact.

Teams Status

AC Milan

AC Milan are one of the joint toppers along with Lazio, Roma, Inter and Napoli. They have won both the matches that they have played this season, accumulating six points in the process. They are averaging 2.5 goals per match while conceding just one goal in two matches. The newly recruited Olivier Giroud is the top scorer for the team with two goals to his name. Sandro Tonali, Rafael Leao and Brahim Diaz have scored a goal each. It looks like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Franck Kessie could return to the lineups for Milan. But sadly Olivier Giroud will miss the next couple of matches due to Covid 19. Stefano Pioli might field his strongest XI from the available set of players.

Lazio

Lazio are currently at the top of the Serie A points table with six points from two matches, including two wins. They are accompanied by Roma, Milan, Inter and Napoli, but are ahead of them on goal difference. They have scored as many as nine goals in two matches and have conceded two goals. The Italian sensation, Ciro Immobile has scored four goals and is the leading goal scorer in Serie A so far. Apart from him, five other players have chipped in with a goal each. Ciro Immobile will miss the next clash against Milan as he suffered a muscle injury recently. Apart from him, Manuel Lazzari, Danilo Cataldi and Bobby Adekanye could also miss the next match.

Tipster’s Angle

An exciting contest is on the cards as two Italian heavyweights go head to head. This match could swing either way as seen in the head to head matches. As Milan are playing at home the odds are favoring them to win the match.

Tip: AC Milan To Win @ 2.23

AC Milan won the last head to head match that they played at San Siro.

Tip: Total Goals Over 2.5 @ 1.65
