Lazio and AC Milan are back in action on Saturday when they lock horns at the Stadio Olimpico in round four of the Italian Serie A. Both sides have enjoyed a solid start to the season, as Gennaro Gattuso’s men are closing in on a fourth consecutive victory while the Rossoneri will be aiming to extend their unbeaten run.
Lazio turned in a resilient team display last Monday when they fought back from behind to snatch a 2-1 victory over Udinese, with Davide Frattesi and Albert Gudmundsson netting in the final 15 minutes at the Bluenergy Stadium.
Thanks for the submission!
Before that, Gattuso’s men secured a 1-0 victory over Bologna in the season curtain-raiser on August 24, six days before defeating Genoa by the same scoreline thanks to Frattesi’s first-half strike.
Lazio, who sit level on nine points with Roma and Inter Milan at the top of the Serie A table, will now look to maintain their upward trajectory and turn their strong early-season form into a platform for domestic success.
On the other hand, AC Milan saw their 100% record this season come to an end last time out when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Juventus at the Allianz Stadium.
Ruben Amorim’s men had kicked off the season with a 2-1 victory over Torino at the Stadio Olimpico on August 23, five days before edging out Venezia 2-0 courtesy of a 69th-minute strike from Goncalo Ramos and Redouane Halhal’s late own goal.
With their Europa League opener against Portuguese giants Benfica on the horizon, AC Milan will look to secure a morale-boosting result this weekend and end a run of two consecutive defeats against Lazio.
