The race for the top four continues in Serie A, and the Nerazzurri will hope to gain all three points in Inter vs Lazio on Sunday. After securing a place in the Coppa Italia final, Inter have to become consistent in Serie A to get the Champions League qualification for next season. They ended their terrible run in Serie A on the weekend as Lukaku scored a brace against Empoli. But now they face one of the most in-form teams in Serie A recently.
Lazio’s dream run in Serie A ended on the weekend, but the Biancocelesti are still likely to finish in the top four. The loss against Torino was their first in the last nine Serie A games. Sarri’s men have managed to beat the likes of Napoli and Juventus during this run, without Ciro Immobile. While Inter are slowly picking up momentum after comprehensive performances against Empoli and Juventus.
Inter vs Lazio Serie A: team news, tactics, and prediction
Simone Inzaghi will have some decisions to make, as some players will be fatigued after the Juventus match. De Vrij, Brozovic, Gosens, and Lukaku could come into the starting eleven. The former Lazio manager, Inzaghi will know the threat of Lazio in attack, as Inter lost 3-1 in the reverse fixture. Zaccagni has been a revelation this season for Lazio, as the Italian winger has scored ten goals and provided five assists so far this season.
Maurizio Sarri has the option of starting Immobile. But the Italian striker has recently recovered from his car accident and might start on the bench. The Biancocelesti will be fresh for this game, as they played their last game on Saturday. Inzaghi has started Gagliardini against Lazio in almost every game to nullify the danger of Milikovic Savic in the midfield.
Prediction
The Nerazzurri have an uphill task of beating the in-form Lazio after an exhausting game against Juve. But they should grab at least one point at the Meazza.
Inter Milan 1-1 Lazio.
