Milan meet Lazio in a crucial clash in Serie A on Saturday night. The race for Champions League qualification looks set to go down to the wire in Italy's top tier.

Both of these sides are unquestionably in contention to seal a return to European football's premier club competition.

Latest odds

Gennaro Gattuso's men have suffered an alarming dip in form in recent weeks. Indeed, Milan have collected just one point from their last four fixtures. Nevertheless, Saturday's hosts remain as 8/5 (2.60) favourites to keep their bid for Champions League qualification firmly on track with a win here.

Team news

Milan are sweating over the fitness of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. The 20-year-old missed last weekend's defeat against Juventus.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic scored the only goal of the game in Lazio's win against Inter. The talented Serbia international is likely to be a key protagonist for Inzaghi's men again on this occasion. Milan Badelj misses out through suspension for the visitors.

Prediction

Each of the last four fixtures between these teams have ended all square and they could prove tough to separate again in this occasion. Home form, however, has been pivotal to Milan's success so far this season.

Gattuso's team have lost just three of their 16 home matches in Serie A this season. Two of those defeats came against Juventus and Inter - sides above them in the league table.

Lazio's record on the road is far from impressive and Inzaghi's men may find this to be a tough task. Furthermore, Milan's home record in this fixture is phenomenal. Indeed, Gattuso's team have lost just one of their last 29 home matches inside normal time against Lazio.

William Hill's 8/5 (2.60) quote for Milan to make home advantage count again, then, may represent real value for punters here.
