Preview: Lazio vs. AC Milan

AC Milan coach Clarence Seedorf is under pressure at the San Siro to bring a halt to four successive defeats in all competitions.

The Italian giants have been knocked out of the Champions League and fallen further out of contention for a European spot next season during March, and a further setback could see them drop to 13th position in the table.

Seedorf will be without Christian Abbiati, after the goalkeeper was dismissed in Milan's 4-2 defeat to Parma last weekend.

Three wins from their last four domestic fixtures have seen Lazio gain hold of seventh position in the standings.

Manager Edoardo Reja has seen the Rome-based outfit record two successive clean sheets, and he will be confident of a third shutout against Milan.

Reja could retain the same starting lineup that began last week's 2-0 win at Cagliari.
