On Sunday, Lazio had a couple of inviting chances to take the lead, and they were also hard done by the bewildering refereeing at the end of the match. That being said, they were second best for the bulk of the contest, with Milan dominating the centre of the pitch. Therefore, Maurizio Sarri will be hoping for an improved performance on Thursday.

Three Things We Learned From AC Milan vs Lazio: The Usual ‘Coincidence’

Nevertheless, aside from their two defeats at San Siro, the Aquile have done fairly well in recent months, registering 2-0 wins over Cagliari and Lecce in November. Although they remain eighth in the Serie A standings, the Biancocelesti are now six points adrift from the European zone, so they have some ground to make up. Therefore, the Coppa Italia could present them a more feasible path towards the Europa League.

AC Milan Form Guide: Recent Results & Table Position

Milan is the definition of a team riding high on confidence. Massimiliano Allegri has proven he’s the master of big Italian showdowns, registering narrow yet crucial wins over Roma, Inter Milan and Lazio in his last four outings. The Rossoneri currently share the top spot in the Serie A table with Napoli.

After finishing 10th last season, Milan had to start their Coppa Italia campaign early. Nevertheless, they made short work of Bari (2-0) and Lecce (3-0) in the opening rounds, but they’ll now be facing their first real test in the tournament.

Lazio vs AC Milan: Match Insights

Most recent Coppa Italia meeting: The last time these two sides locked horns in the competition was in February 2022. Milan pummelled Lazio by four unanswered goals, with Olivier Giroud bagging a brace, to book their place in the semi-finals.
Lazio looking to break 21-year taboo: The last time the Biancocelesti beat the Rossoneri in a Coppa Italia contest held at the Stadio Olimpico dates back to February 2004. Cesar, Fabio Liverani and Stefano Fiore (brace) all scored in the 4-0 routing.
Lazio’s impressive 14-year record: The last time Lazio failed to progress to the quarter-final of the Coppa Italia was in the 2010/11 season, when they were eliminated by Roma in the Round of 16.

Expected Starting Lineups

Lazio (4-3-3): Mandas; Marusic, Patric, Romagnoli, Nuno Tavares; Dele-Bashiru, Vecino, Basic; Pedro, Castellanos, Zaccagni.

AC Milan (3-5-1-1): Maignan; De Winter, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Ricci, Estupinan; Loftus-Cheek; Leao.

Predictions: Lazio 2-1 AC Milan

With Milan emerging as one of the frontrunners for the Scudetto title, Allegri might consider the Coppa Italia an unnecessary distraction. Napoli were in an almost identical situation last season, and Lazio pounced on the opportunity, knocking them out of the cup with a big result.

While we wouldn’t be on another Tijjani Noslin hat-trick, perhaps a not-too-dissimilar outcome could be on the cards.
