AC Milan Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position

To say that Milan have been exceeding all expectations this season would be an understatement. After finishing the previous campaign in 10th place, few had foreseen the Rossoneri sitting this close to the summit 12 rounds into the season. Nevertheless, Max Allegri has swiftly restored order at Milanello, and his pragmatic approach has been paying off, especially on the big occasions.

In the last three rounds, the Diavolo have beaten fellow title contenders Roma and Inter Milan to place themselves in the runner-up spot, just two points adrift from the Giallorossi. However, Milan have also showcased a knack for dropping points against smaller opposition, as evidenced by their recent draws against Pisa and Parma, as well as their opening-day defeat to Cremonese.

Lazio Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position

Just three weeks removed from their last visit to the Meazza, Lazio will be determined to prove that their feeble display against Inter Milan doesn’t truly reflect their recent form. After all, Maurizio Sarri’s men have been displaying signs of life in recent months, while their display in the 2-0 win over Lecce last weekend was arguably their best of the season thus far.

The Biancocelesti currently sit 8th in the Serie A standings, and the European spots are well within their reach. Hence, they will be keen to avoid another disheartening defeat at San Siro.

AC Milan vs Lazio: Match Insights

Expected Starting Lineups

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

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

Final Score Prediction: AC Milan 0-0 Lazio

Let’s hope we’re proven wrong, yet the signs suggest a stiff, tactical duel between two Tuscan coaches who know one another all too well.

Allegri will be gunning for another ‘corto muso’ victory, but unlike the Derby della Madonnina, his players might struggle to find spaces to exploit on the counterattack, as Sarri has been uncharacteristically adopting a low block against the big teams this season. In the end, neither side will be too keen to take risks, as a draw could be a satisfactory result for both.
