As AC Milan heads into this clash with Lazio, the momentum is clearly on their side. They've managed to score an impressive 1.6 goals per game over their last five outings, while only conceding 1. This attacking prowess, combined with their solid away form—3 wins in their last 5 on the road—positions them well against Lazio, who have been less consistent at home, averaging just 1.4 goals scored but allowing 1.6. Moreover, when we dig into the expected goals (xG), Milan's attack has shown more bite, consistently finding ways to create chances. Lazio’s recent home performances reveal a struggle to convert pressure into goals, whereas Milan’s ability to convert their opportunities makes the 1.5 handicap look manageable. With both teams battling for crucial points, Milan is poised to capitalize on any defensive lapses from Lazio, making a bet on Milan at -1.5 a smart play in this Serie A showdown.
