Lazio vs Milan Match Prediction
Lazio are showing impressive form at the start of the season. A convincing 3-1 win over Venice in the first leg showed that the attacking potential of the Romans is at a high level. Marco Baroni’s team finished last season with an 8-match unbeaten streak, which shows stability and confidence in their abilities. Home walls are traditionally a fortress for the Biancocelesti, where they play aggressively and seek to dictate their own terms.
Milan, on the contrary, have not started the season so convincingly. A 2-2 draw with Torino in the first leg, where the team heroically bounced back after losing 0-2, showed both the strengths and weaknesses of the Rossoneri. The end of last season for the Milanese was extremely unstable, with only one win in the last 8 matches. This shows that the team still lacks stability and the ability to hold a lead.
The history between Lazio and Milan is an eventful one. The teams have played a total of 186 matches, with the advantage on Milan’s side: 83 wins against Lazio’s 40, with 63 draws. A goal difference of 290-215 in favour of the Rossoneri also underlines their historical superiority.
However, if you look at the last 10 head-to-head meetings, Milan’s dominance becomes even more obvious. “The Rossoneri have won 8, Lazio only 2. At the same time, Milan have scored 19 goals, while Lazio have scored 10. These figures show that recently the Milanese have a clear psychological advantage over the Romans.
Taking into account all the above factors, we can expect a tense and even match. Lazio will have the home field advantage and are in the best shape at the start of the season. However, historically Milan have a superiority in head-to-head encounters, which can put psychological pressure on the Romans.
The most likely outcome is a draw or a win for Milan with a minimal advantage. “The Rossoneri have the character and the ability to get results in difficult matches, which they have repeatedly demonstrated in confrontations with Lazio.
Match prediction: 0 for Milan at 1.95

Lazio
Lazio kicked off the new 2024-2025 Serie A season with an emphatic 3-1 home win over elite division newcomers Venice.
In the second round, the Biancocelesti travelled to visit a tough mid-table side Udinese. Last season Lazio and Udinese exchanged away victories with the same score 1:2. The result of the match in the new season: …
The end of last season turned out to be controversial for Lazio. On the one hand, the team finished the championship with an 8-match unbeaten streak, with 5 wins and 3 draws. But successes over Empoli (2-0), Verona (1-0), Genoa (1-0) and Salernitana (4-1) still prevented the Romans from securing their place in the Champions League zone.
Lazio beat Juventus 2-1 at home in the semi-final of the Italian Cup, but earlier lost 2-0 away. The score was 3-2 in favour of the Turin side.
Nevertheless, the start of the new season has been optimistic for the Romans. The games against Udinese and Venice showed that the team’s attack is in good shape.

Milan started the new Serie A 2024-2025 season with a 2-2 home draw against a tough mid-table side Torino. The team scored a heroic comeback in the final minutes, losing 0:2.
In the second round of the championship, Milan travelled to visit Parma, who have returned to the elite. Last season these teams did not meet, as the Crusaders played in Serie B, but in historical perspective Milan have an impressive advantage in head-to-head encounters. As a result, the score of the meeting: …
The end of last season turned out to be extremely unstable for Milan. In the last 8 matches the team won only 1 victory (5:1 over Cagliari), drew 4 times and suffered 3 defeats.
A 3-3 draw with Salernitana and Sassuolo, a 3-3 draw with Genoa and a 0-0 draw with Juventus prevented the Rossoneri from joining the championship race. And painful defeats to Torino (1-3), Inter (1-2) and Roma (1-2) in the Europa League finally knocked the Milanese out of the rut.
However, Milan still finished in 2nd place in Serie A and will continue their participation in the Champions League.
A draw with Torino at the start of the new league season shows that Milan’s problems have not gone away. The team still lacks stability, concentration and the ability to hold a lead. If these deficiencies are not corrected, the Rossoneri will face another difficult season.
