Since the 1-0 win over Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 tie mid-way through February, Lazio have been inconsistent in the Serie A, losing two of their last three outings. The Eagles have recorded 12 league-wins this season and their last success came versus Torino on February 23 thanks to second-half efforts from Matteo Guendouzi and Danilo Cataldi. Three days later, Maurizio Sarri’s men lost out to Fiorentina despite taking the lead through Luis Alberto’s opener on the stroke of half-time. Meanwhile, the White and Sky Blues have been impressive at Stadio Olimpico in the last couple of months, winning seven of their previous ten home-matches in all competitions.
Milan, on the other hand, are heading into the match on the back of a three-game winless run in all competitions. Rossoneri saw their six-game unbeaten run, that included five wins, come to an end versus Monza in the Serie A on February 18. Four days later, Stefano Pioli’s men lost 3-2 against Rennes in the second-leg of their Europa League knockout round playoff tie in France, but progressed to the last-16 stage with an aggregate scoreline of 5-3. On Monday, Pioli’s men shared the spoils with Atalanta despite taking the lead through Rafael Leao’s third-minute opener.
Lazio probable starting lineup: Provedel, Lazzari, Casale, Romagnoli, Hysaj, Guendouzi, Cataldi, Luis Alberto, Isaksen, Immobile, Felipe Anderson
AC Milan probable starting lineup: Maignan, Florenzi, Thiaw, Gabbia, Hernandez, Reijnders, Bennacer, Loftus-Cheek, Pulisic, Giroud, Rafael Leao
