Lazio host AC Milan at the Stade olympique de Rome on Saturday, 12 September 2026, with both sides seeking an important result in the fourth round of Serie A.
Kick-off is scheduled for 16 h 00 GMT. The match will be broadcast on Canal+ in France, Amazon Prime Video in Germany and the United Kingdom, Paramount+, CBS, Fubo, DAZN and TUDN / ViX in the United States, DAZN in Canada, Canal+ Sport Afrique in Africa, Stan Sport in Australia, TNT Sports in Brazil and ESPN across Latin America.
Recent head-to-head record
Lazio have had the better of the last five meetings between the clubs, winning three times. AC Milan have recorded one victory, while the other fixture ended in a draw.
That record gives the Biancocelesti a narrow psychological advantage before the two teams meet in Rome.
Lazio looking to build on perfect record
Lazio finished ninth last season and missed out on the top eight, meaning their main ambition this term is to return to European competition. The summer brought a major change in the dugout, with Maurizio Sarri leaving and Gennaro Gattuso taking charge.
Gattuso has made an immediate impact in terms of results. Lazio have taken nine points from a possible nine after three matches, despite performances that have not always been spectacular.
They began with a 1-0 victory away to Bologna, followed that with a 1-0 home win against Genoa and then beat Udinese 2-1 last weekend. Each of their three victories has come by a single goal.
AC Milan remain unbeaten under Amorim
AC Milan ended last season in fifth place, one point outside the top four. A disappointing final run cost them the chance to qualify for the Champions League, prompting the Lombardy club to appoint Ruben Amorim during the summer.
The target for 2026/27 is a return to the top four, and their opening results have offered encouragement. The Rossoneri won 2-1 away to Torino in Turin before beating Venezia 2-0.
Their perfect record ended last weekend when Juventus held them to a 1-1 draw away from home, but AC Milan remain unbeaten after three rounds.
Lazio start the match with the advantage of home form, maximum points and a recent record of three wins in five against AC Milan. The visitors, meanwhile, are still adapting to life under Amorim after being held by Juventus.
Africafoot’s prediction is a 2-1 victory for Lazio.
The listed betting odds are 3,30 for a Lazio win, 3,20 for a draw and 2,20 for an AC Milan victory.
