AC Milan and Lazio—both still unbeaten in Serie A this season—meet in their next fixture on Saturday at Rome’s Stadio Olimpico.
AC Milan arrive in the capital in strong shape, having taken seven points from a possible nine so far. They opened the campaign with a 2-1 win away to Torino, then followed that with a commanding 2-0 victory over Venezia at San Siro, keeping a clean sheet. Before the international break, Ruben Amorim’s side were held to a tight 1-1 draw by Juventus, with Alphadjo Cissé finding the net for the Rossoneri. Now, Milan are keen to keep their momentum going and test themselves against Lazio’s well-organised, hard-to-break-down defence.
Lazio team news
Milan travel to Rome with far fewer injury concerns than earlier in the season, giving Amorim a largely full squad to choose from as they aim to extend their good run.
The main absentees are centre-back Mattia Gabbia and midfielder Warren Bondo, who remain out with their respective injuries.
Former Lazio defender Mario Gila has been dealing with an ongoing knee problem, but he is expected to play through the discomfort and help stabilise the back line against his old club.
In attack, US international Christian Pulisic has fully recovered from a minor muscle issue, yet Amorim has suggested he will still be careful with his minutes.
That caution could benefit young forward Alphadjo Cissé, who is pushing for another start after scoring against Juventus and impressing in recent outings.
With experienced midfielders Luka Modrić and Adrien Rabiot helping to set the tactical tone, Milan’s core lineup is already well established, allowing the coach to reintroduce returning players gradually from the bench rather than forcing them straight into the XI.
Lazio predicted lineup
Possible Lazio starting XI: Maignan; Gila, De Winter, Pavlovic; Chukwueze, Modric, Musah, Estupinan; Rabiot, Cisse; Ramos
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 5pm BST on Saturday, 12th September.
