Inter Milan vs Lazio

Stadio Giuseppe Meazza is the venue as Inter Milan and Lazio go head-to-head in a mouth-watering Serie A showdown.

Records keep falling around new Serie A champions Inter as last weekend’s 5-0 thrashing of Frosinone saw them become only the second club in the competition’s history to hit a 4,600-point landmark. With two games left, another piece of history is still up for grabs, with ‘I Nerazzurri’ bidding to register 31 top-flight wins for the first time (W29, D5, L2). The 20th-time Scudetto winners will expect nothing less than another victory, not least because of their outrageous record of winning nine of their last ten home league finales (L1). The 20th-time Scudetto winners will expect nothing less than another victory, not least because of their outrageous record of winning nine of their last ten home league finales (L1). Virtually unplayable at home, Simone Inzaghi’s men have racked up an intimidating 14 wins from 18 league matches (D3, L1), with second-from-bottom Sassuolo the only side to take three points at Meazza this season. 

Lazio would ‘kill’ to join the club, yet they’ve already lost twice to Inter this term, failing to score while conceding 2+ goals on each occasion. However, it was before Igor Tudor turned ‘I Biancocelesti’ into a force to be reckoned with, guiding them to a five-game unbeaten run in Serie A (W4, D1), bookended by a comfortable 2-0 home win against Empoli last weekend. There’s still plenty of room for improvement, especially on the road, where they’ve blown hot and cold across their three most recent league travels (W1, D1, L1). Meazza hasn’t been a happy hunting ground for Lazio by any stretch of the imagination, as evidenced by four consecutive league defeats at this venue since a 1-0 win in March 2019.
