In what is a heavyweight Serie A showdown on Sunday night, AC Milan and Lazio will be seeking their own respective boosts when they meet at the San Siro.
While the Rossoneri might have made real history on January 6th as they were crowned Super Cup champions, Sergio Conceicao’s side have come crashing back down to earth and the former Porto boss has a tremendous amount of pressure on his shoulders.
Although Lazio might have enjoyed a real European flurry this season, the Eagles watched their Coppa Italia adventure come to an end earlier in the week and find themselves in a similar position to Sunday’s hosts.
With all eyes falling on the San Siro this weekend, we have taken a look at some of the most appealing AC Milan vs Lazio bet builder tips.
The pressure mounts on Conceicao
Suffering an infamous Champions League exit at the hands of Dutch outfit Feyenoord a fortnight ago, AC Milan find themselves at the heart of what has become a real struggle.
With some suggestions that Conceicao is already facing a real battle to keep hold of his job at the San Siro, Sunday’s hosts are desperately seeking a much-welcomed boost.
Coming under even more scrutiny in midweek astray fell to a 2-1 loss away at Bologna, the Rossoneri have suffered consecutive Serie A defeats for the first time since Conceicao’s arrival.
Recording just a single victory from any of their previous five appearances across all competitions, AC Milan open this weekend’s fixtures sat outside the European spots.
However, despite their recent rut, it should be highlighted that Conceicao’s camp have not suffered a single defeat at the San Siro since way back on October 29th.

An immediate return to Milan for Lazio
Watching their Coppa Italia adventure come to an end earlier in the week as they suffered a 2-0 loss at the hands of Inter Milan, Lazio are desperate to claim some immediate San Siro revenge.
However, while the Eagles might have enjoyed a real Europa League romp this season as they cruised their way to a top-eight finish, Marco Baroni’s men have struggled to find any kind of domestic stability.
Forced to settle for a downbeat 0-0 stalemate away at relegation scrappers Venezia last weekend, Lazio have drawn back-to-back blanks for the first time this season.
Likewise, ing just a pair of wins from any of their previous seven showdowns across all competitions, Sunday’s guests should also be concerned by a nightmare record against the Rossoneri.
In fact, Lazio have recorded just a single point from any of their last four consecutive Serie A meetings against AC Milan.

Gimenez to spearhead AC’s charge
While Santiago Gimenez might have only arrived at the San Siro during the January transfer window, the Mexican marksman has enjoyed an eye-catching start to life among Italy’s elite.
Bagging what turned out to be a Champions League consolation against former club Feyenoord on February 18th, the 23-year-old has gained plenty of praise from across the continent.
Reportedly rejecting plenty of Premier League interest over the past 12 months, Gimenez has already recorded three goals across all competitions since completing his blockbuster move.
Clearly relishing the chance to lead the line at the San Siro, Gimenez has also found the net in back-to-back appearances in Lombardy.
Expected to once again spearhead Milna’s charge on Sunday night, Gimenez will be confident of testing a Lazio squad that has failed to muster a single Serie A clean sheet at the San Siro since way back in February 2011.
