2025 betting sites for football rate Milan as a slight favourite with odds of 2.05 (1/1). Lazio has match odds of 3.30 (7/3) to triumph. Milan vs Lazio odds for a stalemate are 3.80 (11/4).
AC Milan has a good record in this fixture, winning four of their last six meetings. Lazio secured a surprise 4:0 win in one of those clashes, and their most recent match ended in a 2:2 draw.
AC Milan currently sits in a disappointing eighth place in Serie A with 41 points from 26 matches. Their record of 11 wins, eight draws, and seven losses reflects a season of inconsistency despite occasional brilliance. However, Milan has been formidable at home, securing six wins, six draws, and just one defeat. Their strong home form will be crucial as they welcome Lazio to the San Siro. A victory here could significantly boost their Champions League qualification hopes.
Milan’s most recent outings ended in a 2-1 away defeat to Torino the same week they crashed out of the Champions League against Feyenoord. Their clash against Bologna also finished with a 2-1 disappointment, losing to one of the main rivals for the UCL spot. They now aim to bounce back at San Siro with a much-needed victory on Sunday.
Loftus-Cheek and Walker remain unavailable for this clash. Meanwhile, Florenzi’s ACL recovery is expected to take another two months.
After consecutive wins over Cagliari and Monza, Lazio’s form dipped with back-to-back draws. Stalemates against Napoli and Venezia saw them slip from fourth place, as Juventus moved two points ahead. Their latest draw marked their first away stalemate of the Serie A season.
Now, they must improve at San Siro to convert their draws into victories and strengthen their top-four bid. Alongside Juventus, Marco Baroni’s men are locked in a fierce battle with Fiorentina, Bologna, and AC Milan for a coveted Champions League spot.
Dele-Bashiru remains doubtful after limping off against Venezia, while Castellanos will be sidelined for a month. Due to ongoing injury concerns, Lazio will also miss Vecino, Basic, Patric, and Hysaj.
Here are our Milan vs Lazio betting predictions for this clash:

This home game offers Milan a chance to recover from their recent setback. Their last home defeat came in October 2024 against Napoli, but they’ve since recorded seven wins and six draws. Additionally, Milan remains unbeaten in its last five home meetings with Lazio. With the visitors struggling and key striker Castellanos injured, the Rossoneri have a strong opportunity to secure a crucial victory and boost its Champions League qualification hopes.

Lazio has struggled in the attack, failing to score after losing key striker Castellanos to injury. In recent results, the Eagles drew Venezia 0:0 and lost 2:0 to Inter in the Coppa Italia quarter-final. Given those results, they are low on confidence. Furthermore, four of the last five encounters between these sides have seen at least one team fail to find the net. So, we expect a low-scoring affair with another clean sheet, which is very likely. 2025 Serie A betting apps backed this option with 2.05 (1/1) odds.

Santiago Jimenez swiftly transitioned from the Netherlands to Italy in January. He arrived after an outstanding season at Feyenoord, scoring 23 goals in 30 league starts. Since joining Milan, he has already netted twice in three league appearances, proving his attacking quality. With Milan pushing for Champions League qualification, Jimenez’s goal-scoring prowess could be crucial, and he is expected to make an impact again on Saturday.
