Today the situation of the two teams is different. Milan are no longer able to fight for the Scudetto (Inter are too far away) and have to fight with a knife between their teeth to defend a place in the Champions League, which was the goal at the start of the season. Lazio must recover the match against Turin and the Champions League is still an achievable goal, as long as the direct clashes are not missed. In the last Serie A match played at the Olimpico, last July, AC Milan clearly won 3-0 with goals from Calhanoglu, Ibrahimovic from a penalty and Rebic. Previously there had been 0-0 in the Italian Cup and 1-1 in the league. Lazio’s last home victory against the Rossoneri took place on 10 September 2017, a 4-1 win by the usual Immobile (brace), Luis Alberto and Parolo (from Montolivo the useless goal of the Rossoneri). The precedents in Serie A in the capital are 77, with Lazio’s 19 victories, 22 Rossoneri successes and 36 draws. The match that recorded the highest number of goals (8) was that of the 1999/2000 season (4-4).
