The 2024-25 edition of Serie A is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Lazio take on Paulo Fonseca's AC Milan side in an important encounter at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday. Both teams have good players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Lazio vs AC Milan Preview
AC Milan are in 14th place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best this season. The Rossoneri slumped to a shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of Parma in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
Lazio, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the league table and have been inconsistent over the past year. The home side suffered a 2-1 defeat against Udinese last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
