The Nerazzurri are ready for the Supercoppa Italiana Semi-final in Inter vs Lazio tonight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. They will aim to break their losing streak against their rivals. Despite losing twice before, Inter is determined for a fresh start in the semi-final, with hopes of securing a third consecutive title in the four-team tournament.
Under coach Simone Inzaghi, Inter has previously triumphed in the Supercoppa Italiana as Serie A and Coppa Italia champions. A win in this edition would put them in an exclusive club with AC Milan.
The winner of this encounter will face either Fiorentina or Napoli in the final. Inter are the favorites and will look to build on their success under Inzaghi. Lazio, despite inconsistency in Serie A, has shown promise in cup competitions.
Lazio are without a trophy since 2019 but will look to end their dry spell under Sarri’s leadership. Although their progress is noteworthy, the lack of silverware adds a layer of urgency. With good form leading up to the crucial moment, Lazio aims to capitalize on this opportunity for a successful end to this campaign.
Inter vs Lazio Supercoppa Team news, tactics, and prediction
Juan Cuadrado’s Achilles tendon injury, sidelining him until March, is the only concern for Inter as they prepare to face Lazio. Despite limited playing time for Marko Arnautovic and Alexis Sanchez, who have shown commitment and patience, Inter’s coach Simone Inzaghi is likely to start Marcus Thuram. Lautaro Martinez will lead the line as usual for this crucial game.
On the other side, Lazio is grappling with some absences and injuries. Patric sustained a shoulder injury against Lecce, and Castellanos will be out for approximately a week. Mattia Zaccagni’s availability remains uncertain, having played through recent games with the aid of pain-killing injections in his foot. Ciro Immobile has faced challenges finding the net this season, with only four Serie A goals.
Prediction
The Nerazzurri are the favorites but Lazio have knocked them out before in this competition.
Inter Milan 2-1 Lazio.
