Lazio vs AC Milan Predictions

• Both teams have scored with at least three goals in both of Lazio’s games this season
• Both teams have scored with at least three goals in both of AC Milan’s matches this term
• Noah Okafor scored against Torino and had a big chance against Parma last weekend

Lazio and Milan set to entertain

Goals look almost guaranteed when Lazio host AC Milan in Serie A on Saturday evening. Both clubs have been involved in wide-open contests already this term with Lazio coming off a 2-1 defeat at Udinese that followed a 3-1 win over Venezia.

New Lazio coach Marco Baroni has slipped into the seat vacated by Igor Tudor quite easily as his side play with a similar attack-minded philosophy. Last season, he kept Hellas Verona up, in part, thanks to them scoring more goals than other clubs in the relegation dogfight.

Paulo Fonseca ha been more of a pragmatist at his former clubs, but the Portuguese tactician has not yet been able to reduce Milan’s ability to shoot themselves in the foot.

Okafor showing promise as Rossoneri targetman 

The Rossoneri still have all the angles covered going forward with Rafael Leao, Samuel Chukwueze and Christian Pulisic all capable of magic while Noah Okafor has taken on the mantle of targetman after the departure of Olivier Giroud.

Okafor bagged in the opening weekend 2-2 draw at home to Torino and had another big chance smuggled off the line in last Saturday’s 2-1 loss at Parma. Last season’s corresponding fixture was an ill-tempered affair that ended with Lazio three men down at the final whistle and Okafor scored the only goal of the game.

But it seems highly likely that this one will feature at least three goals with both teams on the scoresheet — like each of the teams’ games this term.
