SS Lazio host newly crowned Serie A champions Inter Milan at the Stadio Olimpico in a crucial encounter ahead of their upcoming Coppa Italia showdown.

Lazio head into the match in decent form after coming from behind to beat US Cremonese 2-1 earlier this week. Maurizio Sarri’s side have now won five of their last eight Serie A matches and remain unbeaten in their previous five home games across all competitions.

Although European qualification through the league remains difficult, Lazio still have an outside chance of finishing in the European spots if results go their way. The Biancocelesti will also be eager to gain a psychological edge before meeting Inter again in the Coppa Italia final.

Inter Milan, meanwhile, arrive full of confidence after sealing their 21st Serie A title with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Parma Calcio 1913. Cristian Chivu made history by becoming the first foreign manager since José Mourinho to guide Inter to the Scudetto.

The Nerazzurri are currently unbeaten in eight matches and will now aim to maintain momentum heading into the season finale. Despite some inconsistent away performances recently, Inter’s defensive discipline and strong record against Lazio make them favourites here.

Team News

Lazio are expected to welcome back Matteo Cancellieri after suspension, giving Sarri another attacking option. The hosts otherwise have no major fresh injury concerns ahead of this important clash.

Inter Milan also appear close to full strength, with no significant new absences reported. Federico Dimarco is expected to retain his place after consistently influencing recent meetings against Lazio.

Head-to-Head Record

Inter Milan are unbeaten in their last eight meetings with Lazio, winning six of those matches. The Nerazzurri also secured a dominant 6-0 victory in their last visit to the Stadio Olimpico and won the reverse fixture 2-0 earlier this season.

Key Players to Watch

Tijjani Noslin – Lazio

Noslin has developed a reputation for scoring late goals, with all four of his Serie A strikes this season arriving after the 75th minute. He could be Lazio’s biggest threat if the game remains tight deep into the second half.

Federico Dimarco – Inter Milan

Dimarco has been highly influential against Lazio in recent meetings, contributing three goal involvements across the last three Serie A head-to-head clashes. His delivery and attacking runs from wide areas remain vital for Inter.
