Lazio vs AC Milan preview, prediction, team news, and head-to-head

Lazio are a bit inconsistent and must improve in their playing style if they want to keep competing at the top level. Meanwhile, Milan will come to this fixture showing that they are ready to win all available trophies.

Lazio recorded a 2-0 victory against Lecce before enduring a 1-0 defeat against their visitors in the league match. However, this is a different competition where the home team will hope to redeem themselves.

AC Milan narrowly missed out on the Coppa Italia title last season when they lost to Bologna in the 2025 final. It's an outcome that the Rossoneri will be quick to put behind them.

However, there has been so much improvement on the visitors' side. They are unbeaten in their last 13 matches, showing their impressive run of form. Winning Lazio in their last fixture will be a boost coming into this game.

Milan has emerged victorious in 7 out of the last 10 times they have faced Lazio across all competitions. (D1, L2). In the 10 matches that they faced each other, the visitors have scored at least one goal in 9 of them.

Their H2H history favours the Serie A leaders as they recently defeated Lazio with a lone goal courtesy of Rafael Leao. They were also victorious the last time they met at the Coppa Italia in 2022.

Lazio's coach has a long list of players who will not be available for this match. Danilo Cataldi, Samuel Gigot, Nicolo Rovella, and Matteo Cancellieri are some of the players still sidelined.

Sarri will likely use the same formation he used in the last match against Milan, despite the defeat. As usual, we would expect that Veteran striker, Pedro, will feature in this match as a substitute.

For Massimiliano Allegri, the absence of Santiago Gimenez and Pulisic means there will be a little shake-up in the formation. The manager will, however, still rely on Rafael Leao for creativity and goal threats against their host.

The visitors will still be without young full-back Zachary Athekame, who is still recovering from injury. Regardless, Allegri has the man power to get the desired result.

Lazio lineup (4-3-3): Provedel; Marusic, Gila, Pellegrini, Romagnoli; Guendouzi, Vecino, Basic; Isaksen, Dia, Zaccagni

AC Milan lineup (3-5-2): Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Modric, Fofana, Rabiot, Bartesaghi; Nkunku, Leao

It's important for AC Milan to win this match after being so close to winning the Coppa Italia title last season. The Rossoneri are slightly the favourites, considering their recent form and quality of players.
