AC Milan v Lazio: Bet £10 and get £40 in free bets with Betfred

The battle for the Champions League places continues to heat up in Serie A, and this weekend sees all six contenders playing each other, kicking off with AC Milan v Lazio on Saturday afternoon.

There are six teams still competing for the final three Champions League qualifying positions in Serie A with just five matches of the season remaining.

All six teams play each other this weekend, leaving the potential for the teams all to spread out to give a much clearer picture of the top four, or for all to bunch even closer together and lead to a dramatic season finale.

Lazio are in the driving seat of the top four contenders, currently in second place behind the runaway leaders Napoli, and with a six point cushion ahead of fifth placed Atalanta.

Maurizio Sarri's side got back to winning ways on Wednesday night, winning 2-0 at home against Sassuolo to end a run of two consecutive defeats.

Those two defeats followed a run of picking up 22 points out of a possible 24 to leave them in front of the chasing pack, and in with a great shout of reaching the group stage of the Champions League for just the second time since 2008.

The Biancocelesti face a tough test away at AC Milan on Saturday afternoon, a team running hot and cold in recent weeks and have dropped to sixth place, level on points with Atalanta and Roma either side of them.

Stefano Pioli's side are unbeaten in their last eight games in all competitions, but have only won three of them, drawing four of their last five matches.

Two of those victories have come against without a doubt the best team in Italy this season, Napoli, winning 4-0 away in the league and beating them in the first leg of their Champions League quarter final to help book their place in the semis.

The Rossoneri are two points behind their local rivals Inter Milan, who occupy the final Champions League place, following the midweek round of fixtures, which saw Milan score a 93rd minute equaliser against relegation-bound Cremonese to rescue a point.

AC Milan do have the advantage of having a second potential path into next season's Champions League, as they prepare for their semi final first leg against Inter Milan next week - the winner of this season's competition will be guaranteed a place in next season's group stage regardless of their league position.

Lazio won the reverse fixture between these two sides by a 4-0 scoreline back in January, despite having lost the previous three meetings between the two sides.

The side from the capital have lost on their last three matches away at AC Milan, but interestingly Piolo and Sarri are tied at seven piece in their head to head managerial records across their career.
