Serie A preview: AC Milan vs. Lazio - Team news, opposition insight, stats and prediction
"AC Milan will hope to continue their good run of form and remain at the top end of the table when they host Lazio at San Siro on Saturday night. Milan come into the game riding the crest of a wave having beaten Inter in round 12, which moved them above their city rivals and up into second place. However, Lazio have turned a corner after a rough start to the season, and are always tough opposition when Maurizio Sarri is involved."
"The first is Mike Maignan, whose heroics without doubt preserved the clean sheet and the victory, as he made stunning saves to deny Lautaro Martinez and Hakan Calhanoglu, the latter from the spot. The second player that has attracted the attention of the newspaper columns is Christian Pulisic, who scored the winning goal against Inter, his third in the last six derbies."
AC Milan host Lazio at San Siro on Saturday, November 29, kick-off 20:45 CET, referee Giuseppe Collu (VAR: Di Paolo). Milan have 25 points from 12 Serie A games and recently beat Inter to move into second place; the club has beaten the other four current top-five teams. Massimiliano Allegri emphasized the need to remain level-headed after the derby and reiterated a top-four target. Mike Maignan produced match-saving saves in the derby, and Christian Pulisic scored the winner but has missed training with muscle fatigue since Tuesday. Lazio have improved after a difficult start under Maurizio Sarri.
