SERIE A WOMEN, LAZIO v AC MILAN: MATCH PREVIEW

AC Milan's February schedule brings a second trip to the capital for Coach Bakker's side, who travel to the Stadio Mirko Fersini to face Lazio on Matchday 15 of the Serie A Women 2025/26 season. After two consecutive defeats, the Rossonere are determined to recover and close the three-point gap that currently separates them from the Biancocelesti in the standings. The reverse fixture ended 4-2 to AC Milan, with a brace from Kayleigh van Dooren and goals from Monica Renzotti and Ijeh - but this chapter is yet to be written.

There is a strong desire for redemption within the Rossonere camp following narrow defeats to Roma and Fiorentina. While AC Milan have failed to score in their last two outings, their attacking record remains superior to Lazio's this season, with three more goals scored overall. The winter transfer window also strengthened the forward line, with Kamczyk and Sesay already logging their first minutes for the Rossonere against Roma and Fiorentina. Coach Bakker will, however, be without the injured Babb, Piga and Sorelli, as well as the suspended van Dooren.

On the eve of the match, Coach Suzanne Bakker commented: "After two narrow defeats, we haven’t lost an ounce of belief or fire. The team is sharp, focused and ready. Against SS Lazio, we'll play with courage, take our chances and fight for every goal."

LATEST FROM LAZIO
Lazio remain unbeaten in February, having recorded an emphatic 5-2 victory over Genoa and draws against Como Women and Juventus. At home, the Biancocelesti have not lost since November, collecting two wins and two draws across league and Coppa Italia fixtures. Grassadonia can call upon several former Rossonere, including forwards Karczewska and Piemonte - the league's current top scorer with 10 goals - as well as Mesjasz and recent January arrival Cesarini. Lazio's current fifth place would be their highest-ever finish in the Italian top flight, though three teams sit within three points of them, including AC Milan.

PRE-MATCH STATS
