AC Milan continued their strong form in the last Serie A round, securing a 1-0 away victory over city rivals Inter Milan. In the past 10 league matches, Milan have recorded 6 wins and 4 draws, remaining undefeated and holding a solid 2nd place in the standings. Their title challenge looks promising.
Defensively, AC Milan has been impressive this season, conceding only 9 goals in 12 league matches, an average of just 0.75 goals per game. They have kept 6 clean sheets, highlighting a well-organized and stable backline.
Injury updates: Forward Jimenez is sidelined with an ankle injury and is expected to return around mid-December. Additionally, AC Milan head coach Allegri revealed in the pre-match press conference that main striker Pulisic is likely to miss this match due to a thigh injury.
Lazio’s Form
Lazio have also been in decent form recently. They comfortably defeated Lecce 2-0 at home in the last round and have achieved 4 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss in their past 8 league games. The only defeat came against the powerhouse Inter Milan, which is understandable. Overall, they have been steady and competitive.
However, Lazio’s attack has struggled. In the last 6 league matches, they have scored only 5 goals, averaging less than 1 goal per game, with 3 matches ending goalless. Their finishing ability has declined, and their attacking rhythm has slowed, requiring tactical and personnel adjustments to regain momentum.
On the road, Lazio have been weak this season, with just 1 win, 2 draws, and 3 losses in 6 away league games (17% win rate). Their only victory came against relegation-threatened Genoa, highlighting their ongoing struggles away from home.
Head-to-Head
Looking at recent encounters, Lazio have managed only 2 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses in their last 6 league meetings with AC Milan. Last season, they could not win either leg (1 draw, 1 loss), giving Milan a slight psychological edge.
Considering current form, AC Milan is clearly more stable. The Rossoneri are undefeated in their last 12 competitive matches, reinforcing their superiority over Lazio.
Prediction: AC Milan to win
