AC Milan are set to host Lazio this Saturday in a thrilling Serie A showdown.
Both teams are eager to make a strong impact in the battle for a top-four spot. The Rossoneri are looking to extend their impressive unbeaten streak, while Lazio aims to capitalise on recent good form.
Since their defeat on the opening day, Allegri’s side has been outstanding, currently maintaining a 12-game unbeaten run.
They’ve impressively defeated every team in the Serie A’s current top five, including Roma, Napoli, Bologna, and Inter. Their recent derby victory placed them second in the standings with 25 points, just two points shy of league leaders Roma.
The clean sheet against Inter marked Milan’s first shutout against their rivals since April 4, 2018, underscoring their defensive solidity.
AC Milan team news
Milan enjoyed a vital 1-0 win over Inter Milan in the Derby della Madonnina on November 23, courtesy of a crucial goal from Christian Pulisic. However, coach Massimiliano Allegri is facing a fitness dilemma as Pulisic sustained a mild muscle strain in training on November 25.
There are concerns about his availability for the weekend clash, with reports suggesting he “may struggle to recover in time, but two days remain before kickoff.” Additionally, winger Alexis Saelemaekers picked up a back injury during the same training session.
Meanwhile, Santiago Gimenez remains sidelined due to an ongoing ankle issue, though Milan’s defensive unit, featuring Matteo Gabbia, Fikayo Tomori, and Pavlovic, continues to perform reliably.

Possible AC Milan starting XI: Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Rabiot, Bartesaghi; Leao, Nkunku.
