Today’s top betting pick comes from the Italian Seria A with the most accurate Lazio v Milan prediction for March 1st, 2024. Lazio are struggling domestically as they are currently 8th in the standings, but they made it past the group stages of the Champions League and in fact won the first leg of their tie with Bayern Munich, so it’s not all bad for the Roman Eagles. Meanwhile, Stefano Pioli recently conceded the title to Inter saying that the race is pretty much over. Milan are 16 points behind Inter with 12 rounds left to play. Still, the Rossonerri have to keep winning in order to maintain their top four position and qualify for next year’s Champions League.
Lazio Disappointing In Seria A
As mentioned, Lazio have had a disappointing season in Italy. Usually, they are fighting for the top places, but this year, they have fallen behind quite drastically. They’ve lost seven out of 10 games against teams above them in the standings. In other words, they have seriously underperformed in the big games and the one tonight falls in that category.
As we’ve outlined in our eBook, MASTERING THE ART OF SPORTS BETTING 🏆, it’s super important to analyze the current form on both teams. Looking at Lazio, they lost their last game against Fiorentina after having taken a 0:1 lead at half-time. That lead, however, wasn’t deserved, and it was totally against the run of play as La Viola had hit three crossbars and missed a number of chances. Justice was served in the second half as Lazio could not take control of the game and eventually conceded a couple of goals, including a penalty and another crossbar.
Lazio have won just two of their last six games in the Seria A – both away at Torino (0:2) and Cagliari (1:3). During that span, they also recorded three defeats and a goalless draw at home against Napoli. The losses came against Florentina, Bologna, and Atalanta.
Milan With Improved Results At The Start of 2024
After a difficult first half of the season and speculations about Pioli’s future, Milan have gradually improved their results although not enough for them to challenge Inter for the top spot. That ship has sailed, and they just need to play good enough to retain a spot in the top four. Fifth placed Atalanta are seven points behind, so Milan have some leeway. In other words, motivation might not be sky-high for them in the remaining games of the season, but they would also play in a more relaxed manner. This usually results in higher scoring games.
Milan started the new year with six wins from seven matches and one draw (2:2 against Bologna). The wins came with an impressive style of play and lots of created chances. However, that positive run ended on February 18th when they lost to Monza by 4:2. Four days later came another defeat by 3:2 against Rennes, although the result still allowed Milan to go through the next round of the Europa League. The last match was a 1:1 draw at home against Atalanta.
Lazio v Milan Prediction
Another tip from our eBook, MASTERING THE ART OF SPORTS BETTING 🏆, is to always look at the odds as they give away a lot of useful, inside information. In the case of this top betting pick for today, the bookies offer rather high odds on Over 2.5 Goals as bet365 is giving out 2.10.
Normally, if you ask me, I’d expect both teams to score in that game and that usually creates a good game with over 2.5 goals. I still believe that Lazio should get a goal here, and Milan are almost guaranteed to find the net. But, given the high odds for over two goals, I’d say the best bets are Both Teams to Score and a Multigoal bet on 2-3 goals at 1.95.
