AC Milan vs Lazio: prediction for the Serie A fixture

AC Milan were very good last season and for the first time in many years, they earned a ticket to the Champions League. In the summer, the Rossoneri sold Gianluigi Donnarumma, who was replaced by Mike Magnan from Lille. So far, the new goalkeeper has conceded one goal in two games.

In the first round of the new Serie A season, AC Milan paid a visit to Sampdoria. Stefano Pioli's team opened the scoring in the 9th minute but didn't create anything else in attack. The hosts had a few chances for a comeback, but couldn't use them. As a result, the Rossoneri got their first, although very modest, victory (1:0).

AC Milan looked much more solid against Cagliari. They scored four goals before halftime, while the Sardinians could answer with only one goal. Olivier Giroud scored a double, helping his new team to move up to 4th place in the table.

Lazio failed in the last season: the Romans clearly wanted to get Champions League but they finished only sixth, just outside the European club competition zone. In the summer, Simone Inzaghi left Lazio, and the board managed to replace him with Maurizio Sarri. In the first round, Lazio beat Empoli away without any problems (3:1).

In the second round, the Eagles faced Spezia, which had upset many favourites in the last season of Serie A. Spezia scored an early goal, but then the game was fully dominated by Lazio. The Romans netted six goals, and the 6:1 victory allowed them to rise to the first line in the table.
