Milan meet Lazio for the second time in five days, and this time, it’s for a place in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals. Lazio were left frustrated after a Rafael Leao strike accompanied by Mike Maignan’s heroics, sent the three points Milan’s way. The Biancocelesti’s assistant coach Marco Ianni was shown the red card for dissent. Maurizio Sarri’s troops are distant from the top four in the Serie A by nine points, and if they are to challenge for a Champions League spot for next season, they need to press down the gas pedal. Lazio will miss the likes of Samuel Gigot, Matteo Cancellieri, Nicolo Rovella and Danilo Cataldi. Valentin Castellanos has returned to action after almost a two-month hiatus. Sarri might bench some of his key players as they face Bologna this weekend. Milan topped the Serie A standings following their 1-0 victory over Lazio in their previous outing. With no worries about competing in European football this season, Allegri has been able to lead his men in a tactically forward way, where three points from every league game have mattered more than scoring a multitude of goals. The Rossoneri will hope to go all the way to the final and win the Coppa Italia since they have the energy to spare, but Lazio are set to pose a tough challenge tonight. Here are the predicted line-ups for the match: Lazio (4-3-3): Mandas; Lazzari, Patric, Romagnoli, Tavares; Guendouzi, Belahyane, Basic; Pedro, Noslin, Zaccagni.Milan (3-5-2): Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Ricci, Modric, Rabiot, Estupinan; Nkunku, Leao.
