Lazio vs AC Milan Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A
by Kennedy Kechula in Serie A Predictions
There won’t be much room for error when Lazio plays host to AC Milan in the two teams’ next Serie A encounter. They will face off on Saturday 31st August at the Olympic Stadium, with both looking to rise from losses in their last outings. Read on for our preview and prediction of this match.
AC Milan’s quest to reclaim the Serie A title is already facing headwinds, occasioned by their shock defeat away to Parma last week. They face another tough assignment and there has been a shortage of easy moments for the new man in charge, Paulo Fonseca.
As Milan suffered at Parma, Lazio were going through their own trying moments in Udine. Faced with what should have been an easy outing against 10 men, Lazio had to wait until stoppage time to get a consolation goal in their 2-1 defeat to Udinese. With the international break approaching, these sides will hope to bag three points here.

Lazio - AC Milan: Form Analysis
After an unconvincing campaign in Serie A last season, when they finished seventh, Lazio were expected to take the lessons to the 2024/25 campaign. Back then, they managed just four points from a possible 15 in the opening five matches.
They are once again experiencing a tough start to the Serie A, heading into round three of the league having already lost. The hosts had to come from down to beat Venezia 3-1 in their opening game but they couldn’t replicate that on Match Day 2.
Their trip to Udinese ended in a 2-1 defeat, as Lazio left it late before getting their consolation goal. That was despite Udinese playing with 10 men for the closing 22 minutes of the match. They have another tough outing here but with a six-game unbeaten run at home in Serie A, Lazio will be confident.
Milan haven't lost to Lazio in three straight meetings.
Milan will also be confident in their own right as they head to Rome. They haven't lost to Lazio in their last three meetings, and command a run of four wins in their last five encounters.
Though it is a solid run and reads well on paper, Milan are desperate for three points, having managed just one from their opening two matches. The visitors started their season with a 2-2 draw at home to Torino, needing two late goals to rise from 2-0 down.
When it seemed they would get their act right against newly promoted Parma, Milan ended up losing 2-1. Conceding four goals in their opening two matches should be a major concern at Milan, aside from the fact they trailed in both matches.
What is more worrying though, is the fact that in their last nine league outings, they managed just one win.

Lazio & AC Milan Squad Analysis
Lazio will have a defensive headache going into this game, owing to injuries and other issues. Central defender Nicolo Casale, who has featured in both opening matches, is a doubt following a calf problem as rumors also swirl concerning a potential move to Bologna.
Meanwhile, Lazio's other central defender Mario Gila is out with injury while left-back Luca Pellegrini may not be in the best condition for this game after being involved in a car accident.
Both Lazio and Milan will miss key players in this game.
At Milan, new signing Alvaro Morata scored in the opening game but suffered a thigh injury. He could be out of this game too, after missing the loss to Parma.
Should the Spaniard fail to make the cut then they could turn to Noah Okafor once again, although the Swiss international struggled to lead the line in the previous match. The visitors will be hoping for another strong performance from Cristian Pulisic after the USA captain scored in the last game.
Lazio - AC Milan Key Points
- Lazio are unbeaten in six home matches in Serie A, winning five.
- Dating back to last season, Milan have lost their last two away league matches and have failed to win in four road trips.
- 2.6 goals were scored on average in the last six meetings between these teams.

Our Lazio vs AC Milan Prediction
Neither of these teams look solid in defence. Milan have conceded four times in the two league matches played this season. Lazio conceded one goal less but they have yet to keep a clean sheet in their two matches. The two teams’ matches have produced over 2.5 goals as a result of their attacking prowess as well. Here we are looking at a possibly high scoring game.
In terms of recent form, Lazio will have the edge, especially focusing on how they’ve done at home. With that in mind, our prediction for Lazio v AC Milan is for Lazio to win and over 2.5 goals.
