Team News
- Cissè is going to QPR, while Lazio are very close to signing Japanese international Honda. The deal won't be done in time to help the team in this match, so Reja will have only few options in attack.
- In midfield, Matuzalem could give Lulic, Ledesma or Gonzalez a rest.
- Dias could be replaced by Diakitè, as coach Reja may want to avoid contact between him and Van Bommel, after a feisty encounter between the sides in the Coppa Italia, after which Dias was given a retrospective ban for a punch on the dutchman.
- Nesta and Thiago Silva should be both available for the trip to Rome, so Mexes will be on the bench.
- Ambrosini may start the match after he played in the second half against Cagliari.
- Seedorf favoured over Emanuelson to support Robinho and Ibrahimovic, unless El Shaarawy is given a chance from kick-off.
Prediction
- Lazio put in quite a solid performance in Chievo, scoring three and conceding none. But Reja's team suffered a heavy defeat in the Coppa Italia match against Milan that could give some tactical hints for the game to come.
- Milan quickly recovered after the loss in the derby, winning 4 matches in a row since, including Coppa Italia clashes. The team is determined to keep up with the chase for the title, and they now have to reply to Juventus' win against Udinese. The Bianconeri will play one day in advance in Parma, and could put pressure on Milan or give them hope of overtaking.
- Expect Lazio to be more defensive than the Coppa Italia match, as Reja surely learnt something from that match. On the other hand, Allegri could try something different to speed up his attack, as the victory over Cagliari was straightforward but the team had some trouble finding space to create chances. The two trequartistas may be the key players for this game, as Hernanes is trying to regain form and both Seedorf and El Shaarawy showed they are playing well at the moment.
- PREDICTION: 1-1 draw.

See all 6 commentsI hope that Milan wins the game! :D We want to defend Scudetto! :D
massive game for both teams, and one theyll both want to win. Milan will want to keep pace with Juve and Lazio are grasping for that Chamo=pions League place. Could open the game up and we might see goals
I can;t agree with you. Milan won 3-1 in the cup, albeit it was at home, but they know how to beat Lazio. I agree that cLazio will have learnt from their mistakes, but I think that AC will know how to break them down and get the points
My guess is neither! I predict a 0-0 draw. Lazio will have learnt from their mistakes in the cup and will be able to shut down Milan. And it seems Milan just dont know how to concede a goal on the road!
This'll be a game of 2 strikers tonight. Who'll come out on top? Klose or Ibrahimovic?
There are once again so many injuries on show here tonight. Fortunately for injusry-striken Milan this should affect Lazio just as much
