Lazio – Inter Predictions and Preview

• Lazio, following a surprise 3-1 defeat to newcomers Parma in the last round of Serie A, regained their momentum with back-to-back victories against Napoli, the league leaders at the time. Their 1-0 away league win against the Partenopei in the previous round was particularly important, as it put Marco Baroni’s team back in the title fight. Now, they are just three points behind the league leaders ahead of this round.
• Lazio continued their momentum with a 3-1 win away at Ajax in the Europa League in the middle of the week. They return to the Stadio Olimpico as one of only four Serie A teams without a home defeat this term (W6, D1). This is not surprising, as the Biancocelesti have now won eight of their last nine competitive home matches (D1), opening the scoring in seven of those victories.
• Inter Milan were just a few minutes away from becoming the first ever team to go unbeaten in the opening six Champions League matches of a campaign. However, a 90th minute goal from Leverkusen ended their 13-game unbeaten run in all competitions (W11, D2). Simone Inzaghi’s men will now be eager to react to ensure they don’t fall further behind in Serie A, where they entered this round three points from the summit but with a valuable game in hand.
• Inter’s match at Leverkusen was also their first away match in five in which they failed to keep a clean sheet (W4, L1). That run started here against Lazio’s rivals Roma (1-0). Across those four away victories, Inter had no problem scoring either, a point perfectly encapsulated by the fact they scored five goals before the break in their last away league game against Verona (W 5-0).
• Players to watch: Spanish veteran Pedro scored and assisted in Lazio’s last home win against Inter, a feat he repeated in the midweek European win. Each of his last five Serie A goals have come in victories. Lautaro Martínez enjoys playing against Lazio as he’s netted six goals across 12 personal H2Hs, including Inter’s first goal in three of the last four matches here.
• Hot stat: Inter are the only Serie A side yet to concede in the opening 15 minutes of the second half.
