Lazio vs AC Milan Match Preview, Prediction, Timings, and How to Watch | Serie A Gameweek 29

With the Scudetto race heating up, the Rossoneri cannot afford another slip — even on the road in Rome.

Lazio vs AC Milan Match at a Glance

Form & Context

Having kept their distant Scudetto hopes alive, AC Milan will look to follow last week’s derby success when they visit mid-table Lazio on Sunday evening. Defeating Inter Milan saw the Rossoneri’s deficit in the Serie A title race trimmed down to seven points, but they must win again at Stadio Olimpico.

A 1-0 defeat to Parma recently ended the Rossoneri’s 24-match unbeaten streak in Serie A, but back-to-back wins — both without conceding a goal — have provided the perfect response. Milan have won six of their last nine top-flight encounters with Lazio.

On Lazio’s dire season: Lazio sit 10th in Serie A and have collected a modest 37 points — their worst tally at this stage since 2010 — having posted just two wins from their last eight league matches. Repeated fan protests have hit their home form, while manager Sarri has been engaged in a public war of words with club president Claudio Lotito.

Team News

For AC Milan, Adrien Rabiot must serve a suspension, so Samuele Ricci or Ardon Jashari could come into the midfield trio run by the ageless Luka Modric. Santiago Gimenez has returned to full training after more than four months out, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Matteo Gabbia remain sidelined. Rafael Leao has been directly involved in five goals in his last five league appearances against Lazio. TOPUPLIVE

For Lazio, Ivan Provedel has undergone shoulder surgery and Edoardo Motta will continue in goal. Nicolo Rovella, Samuel Gigot, and Danilo Cataldi (calf) are also absent, while Alessio Romagnoli is a doubt. Daniel Maldini — son and grandson of AC Milan legends — is expected to lead the attack for the hosts.

Predicted Lineups

Lazio: Motta; Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Tavares; Dele-Bashiru, Patric, Taylor; Isaksen, Maldini, Zaccagni TOPUPLIVE

AC Milan: Maignan; Tomori, De Winter, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Ricci, Estupinan; Pulisic, Leao

Our Prediction

While Milan are clean-sheet specialists, Lazio lack potency up front, so the Rossoneri can gain revenge for December’s cup defeat. They are a force to be reckoned with under Allegri, but their hosts have been hit hard by injuries — plus the ongoing row between fans, senior management, and head coach. TOPUPLIVE

Prediction: Lazio 0–1 AC Milan
