Serie A Preview: Can anything split Milan and Lazio?

Preview, odds and tips for Serie A

With Juventus almost certain to wrap up their eighth consecutive Serie A title at SPAL on Saturday, our attention this week turns to the race for the Champions League.

Roma, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Lazio are all in the hunt for a coveted top-four spot. But who will prevail? The latter pair face-off at the San Siro in the Serie A game of the week.

AC Milan v Lazio (7:30pm Saturday, Freesports)

Milan looked nailed on for a Champions League spot last month. But a four-match winless run has cast doubt over that possibility despite the threat of 29-goal hitman Krzysztof Piatek.

The Polish star has been scoring even with I Rossoneri failing to pick up points. He’s 13/10 to make it 22 goals in Serie A this season or 10/3 to Score First for the third match in a row.

However, Milan may not get it all their own way. Lazio tend to turn up for these big games and boast a decent enough away record this term. Not only that, but this fixture is always a tight affair.

The last four matches between the two Italian giants have ended all-square. It’s 11/5 for another stalemate here, with 15/2 about a 1-1 draw. Ciro Immobile is a 17/10 chance for the visitors.

Roma v Udinese (5pm Saturday)

It’s not been a vintage campaign for Roma. But they should have enough to overcome travel-sick Udinese. Saturday’s visitors to the Stadio Olimpico have picked up just eight points on the road all season long.
