Middling squad AC Milan (2-2-0, 6 points) will try to find more consistency in their game as they face capital city squad SS Lazio (2-1-1, 7 points) at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in San Siro on Sep. 20, Tuesday as the 2016-2017 Serie A season continues.
Start Time and Streaming Info
The game starts at 2:45 p.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Milan recently snapped their two-game losing slide with a close 1-0 win over Sampdoria on the road at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris last Friday in the two teams' week 4 matchup, as per SkySports.
New head coach Vincenzo Montella had inserted seldom-used striker Gianluca Lapadula in favor of regular starter Carlos Bacca in the starting XI for the match, but it was the Colombia international who still scored the winning goal at the 85th minute off an assist from Spanish forward Suso.
Milan's win was tainted by controversy, though, as the home side had two goals "disallowed for offside and handball, the first of which should have stood," according to the report.
It was I Rossoneri's second win in four outings so far this term as Montella's team has yet to find their top form in the young Italian top slight season. Milan is currently at 10th place in the 20-team league table.
Meanwhile, Lazio, one of two capital city teams in the Serie A, is at fourth place in the overall standings after four weeks of competitions.
I Biancocelesti is coming off a 3-0 drubbing of newly-promoted side Pescara at the Stadio Olimpico last Saturday, via ESPN.
After a goalless first half, Lazio suddenly unleashed three consecutive goals from three White and Blue players, namely midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, defender Stefan Radu, and striker Ciro Immobile at the 67th, 72nd, and 76th minutes respectively, to put the game away.
The Eagles had won their second game in four outings so far after going on a two-game winless spell.
