Lazio and Milan meet unbeaten at the Olimpico in Serie A's fourth round

Four rounds in, and nobody has managed to touch their unbeaten record yet. That's what Lazio and Milan bring to the table this Saturday, and that's why the meeting at Rome's Stadio Olimpico shapes up as one of the marquee matchups of the round in Serie A. Whoever wins sends a clear message to the rest of the league.

The match is set for this Saturday, September 12, with kickoff at 1:00 p.m. for Argentina, Chile and Uruguay and 11:00 a.m. for Colombia, Peru and Ecuador. The broadcast will be available through the Premium Plan on Disney+ for South America.

Why pay attention to this duel beyond the obvious? Because it's not common to reach the fourth round with two contenders still unbeaten. Lazio wants to extend its momentum and secure a perfect record on home turf, something that would send a huge statement heading into the coming weeks. Milan, on the other hand, isn't just here to snap that streak: a win would push it past Lazio itself in the standings. There's a lot more than three points at stake.

The players to watch

On the Rome side, all eyes are on Davide Frattesi, who has become the engine of the home midfield. The Italian midfielder has racked up three goals and three assists so far this season, a level of production that puts him among the most decisive names of Serie A's start.

On the other side, Milan is banking on Gonçalo Ramos. The Portuguese forward will be looking to break his drought and show up right where he likes it most: close to the opponent's goal. If Milan wants to walk away with a big win in Rome, its number nine needs to be sharp.

How Lazio and Milan arrive

The home side arrives with confidence after beating Udinese 2-1 on the road at the Bluenergy Stadium, a result that kept its perfect record intact. Milan, meanwhile, could only manage a 1-1 draw against Juventus away from home, a result that left mixed feelings but didn't stop it from staying unbeaten.

The recent history between the two sides adds even more spice to the matchup. The last meeting came on March 15, 2026, in matchday 29 of last season, and ended in a 1-0 win for Lazio right there at the Olimpico, with a goal from Gustav Isaksen. Repeating that outcome would be a strong psychological boost for the home side, while Milan arrives determined to break that trend and make its current form count.

With two teams still unbeaten and standout individual performers in top form, the Olimpico promises a tight match, the kind that comes down to the smallest details.
