Inter Milano vs Lazio Betting Preview

Lazio squandered its last chance to play in Europa League next season by drawing the last match played at home against Verona. It is now Inter

Milano's time to give it a shot and they are in a far better position, as they sit in the fifth place and have a two point lead over Torino. There are two rounds to be played and plenty of challengers waiting for Inter to make a false step to overtake them in the standings.

Inter Milano vs Lazio Betting Tips

Inter Milano was largely disappointing this season and the fact that they will most likely finish ahead of their city rivals is nothing more than a pale consolation. On the bright side, they are still in the race for a European cup placement and this is without a doubt the most important match left to be played.

They suffered a disheartening defeat last round by losing to AC Milan in the final minutes of the game and will try to fire back with a victory over Lazio. Inter was undefeated in six games, winning three and drawing the rest and the match against their city rivals could've easily gone the opposite way.
What they will need to do tonight is to play overly aggressive because their opponents have a hard time keeping clean sheets. Lazio won just one of the last four games and they allowed 10 goals, including six in front of their fans against teams with dubious records on the road.

Last round, they kept Verona under constant pressure and opponents got littered with yellow cards, but Lazio also lost Lulic in the process. He saw a red card in the 86th minute and obviously won't play tonight, further increasing the spaces in the defense and midfield.

Key Facts

• Lazio's defenses are extremely permeable and the fact that they allowed six goals at home against defensive minded teams speak for itself.
• Almost half of the games played between the two teams in Milan ended undecided, but the last draw in a Serie A clash occurred more than a decade ago.

Inter Milano vs Lazio Betting Prediction

Inter Milano is no longer the dominant team in Serie A but they still have some of the best players in the Italian championship and know how to handle stressful moments. It is very likely that the hosts will rise to the occasion and win the necessary three points tonight against Lazio. The visitors had a hard time preventing weak opponents from scoring, so their chances to leave Milan undefeated are slim.
