"Both positive and negative ones, you could argue, with the Massimiliano Allegri revolution putting the Rossoneri back on track. That said, the Coppa Italia qualifiers didn't exactly help. In addition to the qualifiers, the fact that Milan aren't seeded in the 2025-26 Coppa Italia means they will have to play the Round of 16 away from home. As such, they will make the trip to Stadio Olimpico for the game against Lazio on December 4."
"This makes the game a lot tougher on paper, without a doubt, while the Rossoneri also won't collect any revenue from the ticket sales. The same goes for the quarter-finals if they were to make it through (Bologna or Parma away if so), though it changes in the semi-final given it's two-legged. Interestingly, Milan will also face Lazio a few days before the Coppa Italia clash, more specifically in the 13th round."
AC Milan will play Lazio away at Stadio Olimpico in the Coppa Italia Round of 16 on December 4 because the club is not seeded in the 2025-26 competition. Not being seeded forces Milan to play the Round of 16 away and could also require away fixtures in the quarter-finals (Bologna or Parma if they advance). Milan will not collect ticket revenue from the Round of 16 match, with the same financial impact applying to an away quarter-final. The semi-final is two-legged, restoring a home fixture if reached. Milan will meet Lazio in Serie A days earlier at San Siro. The 2024-25 season was disastrous for Milan, prompting Massimiliano Allegri-led changes aimed at stabilizing and reviving the team.
