Despite an excellent pre-season run, AC Milan got off to a dreadful start to the 2024/25 Serie A campaign.
The Rossoneri clinched just one point from the opening two games of the season, despite facing the likes of Torino and Parma in the process.
AC Milan were shockingly beaten by newly-promoted Parma last weekend 1-2 on the road.
It was a match in which Paulo Fonseca’s men delivered numerous clear-cut chances but failed to convert all but one.
AC Milan had previously defeated the likes of Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Barcelona during the pre-season in the summer.
Lazio will not come into this in much higher spirits either after a 1-2 defeat at Udinese in the previous round.
Nonetheless, Marco Baroni’s troops have at least managed to get the win on the opening day of the season, beating Venezia 3-1 at Stadio Olimpico.
Lazio vs AC Milan Prediction
AC Milan possess enough quality to challenge for the Champions League spots once again and they surely need to find the way out of the inaugural crisis sooner rather than later.
The game against Lazio provides Fonseca and his troops a phenomenal opportunity to make amends for the initial slumps.
Lazio still need to adjust to life without Ciro Immobile, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, and company.
Moreover, AC Milan won six and drew one of the previous seven head-to-head meetings with the Biancocelesti.
