Milan achieved another important victory in Serie A by narrowly defeating Lazio, a result that allowed the team led by Massimiliano Allegri to extend their positive streak in the championship to 12 consecutive matches without defeat.

This success came on the back of consistent form in head-to-head matches, with Milan confirming themselves as one of the most effective teams against their top-flight rivals. Since the start of the season, the team has played against 6 of the 8 top teams, securing 16 points from a possible 18. Wins against Bologna, Napoli, Roma, Inter and Lazio, as well as a draw against Juventus, have consolidated the team's position in the standings.

A common element of these matches has been a pragmatic approach and close results. Most of the victories have come minimally, thanks to a consistent game structure and careful management of the advantage. Even against Lazio, Milan had moments of difficulty, especially in the first half, where Maignan distinguished himself with some important saves.

However, despite these episodes, the risks posed throughout the match remained limited. After the lead, the team slowed down the pace of play, managed possession and avoided dangerous situations, while the end of the match was accompanied by controversy over a penalty requested by Lazio.

On the other hand, the team is facing obvious limitations in the offensive department, especially with Pulisic absent. Efficiency in the final zone of the field remains an aspect where Milan needs to improve, but Allegri's tactical organization has made the lack of individual solutions compensated by the functioning of the group. This game mechanism has valued the defenders and created opportunities for a greater number of players to contribute in the attacking phase.

As the season progresses, the importance of goals from players who have contributed little so far, such as Nkunku, Gimenez or Rabiot, will increase significantly as the weeks go by. However, the current situation gives Milan peace of mind, also taking into account the fact that the calendar appears more favorable.

In the following weeks, the team would face Torino, Sassuolo, Verona, Cagliari, Genoa and Fiorentina, before the challenge against Como at the end of this cycle.
