Lazio v Milan: visitors seek top-three place as Pinnacle888 backs a tight contest

Milan travel to face Lazio in the fourth round of the Italian championship, with both sides aiming to strengthen their early-season positions. Pinnacle888 rates the visitors as favourites, although Lazio’s perfect start and recent record in this fixture suggest the match could be closely contested.

Lazio’s winning start

Lazio have won all three of their opening matches, matching the pace set by Inter and Roma. Victory against Milan would preserve their place in the top three and provide a significant early-season statement.

The Rome club also have the stronger recent head-to-head record. Lazio have won three of their past four meetings with Milan, a statistic which may indicate that the bookmakers’ price for a home victory is higher than expected.

Lazio’s two most recent matches were both away from home. They beat Udinese 2-1 before securing a narrow 1-0 victory over Genoa.

Milan looking to climb

Milan have collected seven points from their first three games, an encouraging return despite the club undergoing a major transfer overhaul. Ruben Amorim was not satisfied with the squad available to him, leading to significant changes in the team.

The Rossoneri are currently two points behind Lazio. A victory in Rome would guarantee that Milan move above their opponents in the table and would take them into at least the top three.

Milan drew 1-1 with Juventus in Turin in their previous league match. Before that, they recorded a 2-0 home win against Venezia.
