LAZIO - AC MILAN


The Rossoneri travel to the Eternal City, trailing Lazio, who are in the final Champions League qualifying spot, by 3 points .


Milan's whole season is dedicated to reaching 4th position in Serie A, the top 3 look to have "slipped the field", so only one place is up for grabs.


Despite having a Coppa Italia match in midweek, they have spent all week training, only, for today. Clarence Seedorf said that "we have worked hard in recent days and have had the right kind of attitude", adding "we are thinking only about playing a good game against Lazio and obtaining the three points that are fundamental in reaching fourth place. We want to give an important signal in this game, we absolutely must reach fourth place in the league. "


They have finally found some consistency in the league, winning their last 3 and scoring 3 goals in each.


Lazio will probably be very pleased with their season to date, but seemed resigned to losing captain Massimo Oddo, who looks set to finally sign for .......... Milan, next week, if he plays today, which seems likely, he will be put in a very strange and awkward position. They will also be without the suspended Guglielmo Stendardo.


Kaka returns for the visitors who have named the following squad ....

KEEPERS: Dida, Fiori, Storari ; DEFENDERS: Bonera, Cafu, Costacurta, Grimi, Maldini, Jankulovski, Simic; MIDFIELDERS: Ambrosini, Brocchi, Gattuso, Gourcuff, Kakà, Pirlo, Seedorf; STRIKERS: Aubameyang, Gilardino, Inzaghi, Ricardo Oliveira.


Milan have a fantastic record against the Biancoceleste, losing only once in 10 visits ,to the Stadio Olimpico and twice, in 22 meetings overall. They should not come away empty handed tonight.


4 points Milan -1/4 ball asian line 2.0.


Good Luck.
