[Tips]:
SS Lazio are currently in poor form, having won only one of their last seven matches across all competitions, showing fatigue in both offense and defense, and their home performance is quite limited.

The team are well-balanced in both offense and defense, and their away performance is strong.

Additionally, they hold a psychological advantage over Lazio in recent years.

Therefore, AC Milan are undoubtedly the more trustworthy side in this away match, and they are expected to win!
