Team Analysis: Lazio vs Milan
Lazio experienced a significant drop in performance last season, falling from vice-champions in 2023 to a 7th place finish. This downturn led to the departure of coach Maurizio Sarri. Under new coach Marco Baroni, Lazio started the season with a victory over Venezia but followed it with a disappointing loss to Udinese.
Milan, on the other hand, had a solid season, finishing as runners-up, just behind Inter. However, this success marked the end of Stefano Pioli's tenure as head coach, with Paulo Fonseca taking over. Fonseca's tenure began with a dramatic comeback to draw against Torino, followed by a surprising loss to newly-promoted Parma.
