Inter MilanovsLazio Rome

Inter Milan's Home Fortress

Inter Milan has been a formidable force at home this season, boasting a record of 13 wins, 3 draws, and only 2 losses. Their recent form in Serie A has been impressive, especially their away performances, but they have also been strong at home. With Marcus Thuram leading the attack with 14 goals and Federico Dimarco providing 7 assists, Inter's offensive capabilities are well-established. Despite a recent setback in the Supercoppa Italiana, where they lost to AC Milan after squandering a 2-0 lead, Inter remains a dominant team in Serie A. Their ability to score, particularly between the 46th and 60th minutes, is a testament to their tactical adjustments and attacking prowess.

Lazio's Resilience and Recent Form

Lazio Rome, on the other hand, comes into this match with a strong recent record, having not lost in their last six games. Their Europa League campaign has been a highlight, with a decisive 3-1 victory over Real Sociedad securing their place in the Round of 16. Coach Marco Baroni has instilled a strong team mentality, and the return of defender Patric from injury is a significant boost. Lazio's away form has been decent, but they have struggled to score in 4 of their 18 away matches in Serie A this season. However, with Taty Castellanos scoring 10 goals and Nuno Tavares providing 8 assists, Lazio has the potential to challenge Inter's defense.
