Lazio take on the visitors AC Milan in the round 19 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 24th at Stadio Olimpico (Rome).
Lazio had been associated with Simone Inzaghi for many years. A former striker, he achieved good results in the status of a coach, which attracted interest from Inter to this candidacy. He had to be urgently changed in the 2021 off-season, and it’s good that Sarri, who was unemployed at that time, turned up. It turned out that the forced castling in the coaching post was beneficial: with the “Smoker”, the Eagles even rose a little in the Serie A table. Moreover, in the current Calcio draw, the capital club showed its readiness to fight for a return to the Champions League. But what a long pause prevented them! After it there were 2 misfires in a row. First, the Roman giant managed to lose to the division's newcomer, Lecce. And then at home, leading up to the 83rd minute 2-0 with Empoli, limited only to a draw. However, on January 15, the away match with Sassuolo ended with confident 2-0.

Milan went on international break in 2nd place in Calcio (only Napoli had more points), at the same time going through to the playoffs of the Champions League, which was not possible in the previous draw. After a pause, it turned out to start with a victory, albeit not the most convincing one – the away match with Salernitana ended 2-1. Moreover, until the 83rd minute of the match on January 8, the Red-Blacks were leading by 2 goals in the match with Roma – but then the Wolves pulled out a draw. By the way, in the next round there was also a 2-2 draw, but with the reverse scenario, when the champion already arranged a comeback - but is it worth being proud of such a result with the newcomer of the division, Lecce? Especially considering the fact that before that there was a elimination in the national cup from Torino at “San Siro”. Moreover, on Wednesday evening the derby with Inter in the country's Super Cup ended with a devastating 0-3.
Last season, when Maurizio Sarri was already working with Lazio, he lost all duels to Pioli. Milan not only won both matches in Serie A, but also won in the cup. Still, the Rossoneri are considered the favorites in this pair. But they look extremely unconvincing now, so it’s worth considering betting that the capital’s Eagles won’t lose at home.
Prediction for the match: Lazio not to lose (1X).
