Italian Cup: AC Milan
Relaunched in the league by their success at Giuseppe Meazza against Inter, AC Milan finds the Italian Cup to try to shine on a second table this season.
Because after the early elimination in the European Cup from the group stages, AC Milan must find a new objective beyond Serie A. And the Italian Cup could represent an interesting palliative for the Rossoneri, two rounds from the final. Especially since the Milanese are doing better in the league, after taking four points in two games against Juventus and Inter Milan. For this reception of Lazio, these will still be deprived of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Simon Kjaertwo experienced members of the Rossoneri group.
Opposite, Lazio remains on a great victory against Fiorentina (0-3), but which remains to put into perspective the result of the departure of Dusan Vlahovic from the Violets. Despite this, Ciro Immobile’s teammates are on an impressive run of results, as Lazio have not conceded a single but since January 9 and the defeat on the lawn of Inter Milan. Hoping for them that their return to Lombardy does not awaken bad memories…
The opinion of the editorial staff: 2-1
Reinvigorated, the Milan team should offer itself a precious success and chain a start to the series, under the impetus of an irreproachable Olivier Giroud since the beginning of the year.
The probable compositions:
Milano : Maignan – Florenzi, Kalulu, Romagnoli, Calabria – Tonali, Bennacer – Saelemaekers, Kessie, Leao – Giroud
Lazio : Strakosha – Lazzari, Luiz Felipe, Patric, Marusic – Milinkovic-Savic, Lucas Leiva, Luis Alberto – Felipe Anderson, Immobile, Zaccagni
