AC Milan
AC Milan, having lost twice this season, managed a 1-1 draw at San Siro, ending their winless run to three games. Their last league encounter was 4-2 to Monza the week before, and their 3-0 lead from the first leg secured their place in the last of the Europa League. However, they must arrest their current winless run to retain their spot in the top four. Juventus are still four points clear, despite some indifferent form. There is still a healthy gap to the sides below the Rossoneri, but Milan needs to be wary of teams like Bologna and Atalanta, as another defeat could be costly. AC Milan, currently in third place in the league table, has been impressive this season. The Rossoneri were held to a 1-1 draw by Atalanta in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this week.
Milan have two injury concerns: Tommaso Pobega with a hamstring problem and Mattia Caldara out. Luka Jovic is suspended, likely to start in Europa League clash with Slavia Prague. Pierre Kalulu, Davide Calabria return, and Fikayo Tomori may return soon.
SS Lazio
Lazio, a team in Serie A, has been struggling since their Supercoppa disappointment, losing three out of seven matches. Their three defeats against Fiorentina, Atalanta BC, and Bologna have left them eight points adrift of the top four. Napoli’s 6-1 win over Sassuolo has also moved level on points with Lazio, who enter the weekend down in eighth place. A repeat of last season’s scoreline in this fixture would be beneficial, but starting the weekend 13 points behind their opponents suggests this is unlikely. Manager Maurizio Sarri aims to see his side hit form ahead of their biggest game since taking charge, the Biancocelesti travel to Bavaria on Tuesday. Milan has started to struggle against Atalanta, and Lazio, currently in eighth place, is not at their best this season. The home side’s recent 2-1 defeat against Fiorentina will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Lazio face injury concerns, with Patric out due to a sprained ankle and Nicolo Rovella out due to a groin issue. Sarri may avoid personnel changes for rest, and Mattia Zaccagni may return from injury, possibly on the bench.
