Lazio vs Milan team news and expert analysis
The capital club had a disappointing league campaign last season, finishing only ninth, and failed to salvage it in the cup, losing in the final. Gattuso became their new manager over the summer. However, he made an unsuccessful debut, immediately losing at home to modest Mantova in the cup. In Serie A, though, they beat both Bologna and Genoa, as well as Udinese.
The giants from San Siro spent a long time in second place but eventually slipped to fifth in the spring. As expected, they changed managers after that. Ruben Amorim began his spell in Italy with victories over Torino away from home and Venezia at home. In the previous round against Juventus, they also took the lead but conceded an equaliser in the 90th minute.
The Romans are currently averaging 1.33 goals scored per game while conceding just 0.33. Their old rivals from northern Italy are scoring 1.67 goals per match and conceding 0.67.
Head to Head matches: Lazio vs Milan
The capital club have won three of their last four meetings, suffering just one defeat.
