AC Milan take on the visitors Lazio in the round 27 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, March 2nd at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza (San Siro) (Milan).
Milan enjoyed a successful period under Stefano Pioli, winning Serie A and reaching the Champions League semifinals. Even in the 2023/24 season, they secured second place, finishing only behind a dominant Inter. However, despite this, the club decided to change managers. The appointment of Paulo Fonseca turned out to be a mistake, and after a string of poor results, he was sacked before the new year. His replacement, Sérgio Conceição, made an immediate impact, leading Milan to Supercoppa Italiana glory by defeating Juventus and Inter back-to-back. However, their Champions League campaign ended prematurely with a loss to Feyenoord. Domestically, they knocked Roma out of the Coppa Italia, but just when it seemed they were improving in Serie A, they suffered back-to-back 1-2 defeats against Torino and Bologna. To make matters worse, Milan’s attack has been inconsistent, failing to convert dominance into goals in key matches.

Lazio has shown improvement this season. The Eagles struggled at the start of the previous season after finishing as Serie A runners-up in 2023. Maurizio Sarri, despite his previous success, didn’t last until the end of the 2023/24 campaign, but the team still managed to secure seventh place, earning a spot in the Europa League. That qualification has paid off, as Lazio reached the Round of 16 despite often rotating their squad. They also impressed in the Coppa Italia, knocking out Napoli before being eliminated by Inter this week. Meanwhile, in Serie A, they have steadily climbed the table and remain in contention for a top-four finish. However, their momentum has slowed in recent weeks, as highlighted by a disappointing 0-0 draw against struggling Venezia. Lazio’s defense has improved significantly, keeping multiple clean sheets in 2024, but their attack remains inconsistent, especially against well-organized opponents.
Milan has won three consecutive meetings against Lazio, but their most recent clash ended in a draw. The Rossoneri are favorites, especially at San Siro, but Lazio has been difficult to break down recently. A safe bet is on the visitors avoiding defeat. Lazio +0.5 Asian Handicap looks like a solid option.
Prediction for the match: Lazio not to lose (X2).
