The race for the Champions League spot heats up with AC Milan hosting Lazio at the San Siro on Saturday.
The Rossoneri are going through their worst stretch form since Christmas, with 3 losses in their last 5 matches with defeats against Inter Milan, Juventus, and Sampdoria. AC Milan will need to step up their game if they are to consolidate their fourth position.
Lazio's win over Inter Milan a fortnight ago is a welcome boost to a side that has been consistently failing to beat the big teams in Italy. A win today at the San Siro could see the Biancocelesti moving to fourth in the table.
