SS Lazio (6-4-0, 18 points) and AC Milan (5-4-1, 16 points) are scheduled to meet for a 2015-2016 Serie A season encounter at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on November 1st, Sunday. Both teams have a decent season so far, placing 6th and 8th respectively in the current league table.
Lazio won four of its last six outings but is coming off an upsetting 1-2 loss in the hands of Atalanta at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia in Bergamo on Wednesday to temporarily halt their ascent in the standings, as per Soccerway.
I Biancocelesti team captain Lucas Biglia scored the opening goal at the 16th minute to give Stefano Pioli's side the early 1-0 lead. However, an own goal by Serbian defender Dušan Basta at the 69th leveled the count for both teams.
Atalanta took advantage of the momentum shift and La Dea midfielder Alejandro Gómez found the back of the net four minutes before full time to pull off the win and deny Lazio a point in their record.
Meanwhile, fan-favorite AC Milan gave Chievo its third straight loss, 1-0, at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Wednesday, via Goal.
Defender Luca Antonelli provided the lone goal of the match at the 52nd minute to lift Milan slightly closer to the league leaders.
It was I Rossoneri's second consecutive win as they have been unbeaten in their last three games. Manager Siniša Mihajlović hopes to extend their run in this game with a demoralized Gli Aquilotti eleven.
The predicted result is a 2-1 upset by AC Milan versus Lazio.
