- Lazio have started Serie A 2026/2027 with a win and a clean sheet at home
- Milan have won each of their last three games in all competitions and gone 3-1-1 in their last five
- AC Milan have failed to win their last three away H2H meetings and Lazio will feel that they can pull off another surprise
Gattuso’s Lazio have got some bite
Gennaro Gattuso has already made his mark on Lazio, who have won four of their last five in all competitions and their two games in Serie A 2026/2027. Their direct, energetic pressing and aggressive 4-2-3-1 system has already produced consecutive wins in all competitions, while the addition of Boulaye Dia to the club has provided an extra spark to his team's game.
A 2-1 away win at Torino and a 2-0 home win over Venezia have put Lazio in the European picture in seventh place in the table with six points from two games, the same points tally as fourth-placed Milan. Davide Frattesi is the club's leading scorer with two in two league games, but Mattia Zaccagni's five in the last five looks more like his standard scoring rate.
Rabiot to lead Milan’s attacks from deep
The Rossoneri have also been impressive so far, winning three straight and going 3-1-1 in their last five. Ruben Amorim has got Milan to play in a structured 3-4-2-1/3-5-2 system, where the wing-backs and half-space creators in the midfield can make vertical runs to create fast-paced attacks, while counter-pressing is essential to their game. Adrien Rabiot has been the standout performer for Milan, playing the box-to-box role to perfection with a goal in Serie A 2026/2027, but it's his ability to link play between the midfield and attack that makes him a real threat. Milan have one win in one away game in Serie A 2026/2027, averaging two goals per game.
Lazio to continue positive start
Milan are 6/5 favourites for this Serie A 2026/2027 game, but the hosts are 9/4 and have won two of the last three head-to-head meetings, making this a tight contest. Lazio's positive start to the season, home advantage and the fact Milan have not won here in three games should be considered, but Milan's away form is also impressive.
Milan's controlled, possession-based game will not fit well with Lazio's high-energy pressing game, so it is a clash that could go either way depending on which team gets the better of the half-space and midfield battles. So, both teams to score at 91/100 looks the sharp angle here.
