Lazio and Milan approach their head-to-head clash in different mental states, but with similar defensive issues. The Romans have won only one of their last five matches, including a 2-0 defeat to Torino, and have conceded in four straight. Milan, on the other hand, rarely loses, but has kept only one clean sheet in that stretch.
This season's Milan is reliable in attack when playing away (second in the league in goals scored), but vulnerable at the back, a factor Lazio must take into account when playing at home. The visitors appear to be the favorites only on paper; Milan are still far from perfect form, lacking cohesion in midfield, so we expect Rome to take at least one point today.
