One team must ruin their perfect start to Serie A this weekend as AC Milan take on Lazio this weekend. The match schedules for Sunday afternoon at the San Siro, with kickoff at 7 pm.
AC Milan needed an Olivier Giroud moment to see off Cagliari last time out to make it a 4-1 win. On the other hand, Lazio came off a highly spirited 6-1 win over Spezia.
Olivier Giroud has not been selected for France’s World Cup qualifying matches this month, but he might be back in time to make up an XI. In fact, after scoring two goals against Cagliari last week at San Siro and playing well enough that Milan coach Leonardo may put his name near or next to strikers like Higuain when making teams – even though it is only one game so far!
Olivier Giroud made a good impression in his first game for AC Milan, scoring the third and fourth goals to help them win comfortably. He also played well at Sampdoria earlier this year, so it’s no surprise that he put up big numbers in what turned out to be an easy victory against Inter soon after joining them.
Sarri-ball is alive and well, so it seems as Lazio has made a blistering start to life under their new boss – racking up nine goals across league games in the Biancocelesti’s first two matches.
