Team Form and Analysis for Inter
Domestic Form and European Performance
Inter are enjoying an excellent season, currently occupying 2nd position in the Serie A table with 21 points from 10 matches. Their record stands at seven wins and three defeats.
The Nerazzurri have been one of the most in-form teams in the league, winning six of their last seven Serie A fixtures, including a dramatic 2-1 away victory over Hellas Verona last weekend. They boast the best attack in Serie A with 24 goals scored and have been ruthless in their offensive output, being the only team to have scored in all of their first ten league games. This momentum has carried over into Europe, where they maintained a perfect record with a 2-1 midweek victory over Kairat Almaty in the UEFA Champions League, securing automatic qualification. Inter are particularly strong at the San Siro, having won six of their seven home matches this season. However, manager Chivu must manage the fatigue of his squad following the midweek European commitments, with key players like Hakan Çalhanoğlu expected to return to the starting XI after being rested.
Key Player: Lautaro Martínez
Captain and striker Lautaro Martínez is the undisputed leader of the Inter attack and remains one of the most clinical forwards in Europe. The Argentine international, despite a rare four-game drought in the league, is integral to Inter’s high-press system, contributing not only with goals but with relentless work rate and link-up play. Martínez has a strong personal record against Lazio, scoring six career goals against the Biancocelesti. His finishing, movement, and ability to convert chances created by the wide players and midfielders will be the decisive factor in breaking down Lazio’s tight defensive structure.
Team Form and Analysis for Lazio
Domestic Form and Recent Resurgence
Lazio have recovered from an inconsistent start to the season, currently occupying 8th position in the Serie A table with 15 points from 10 matches. Their record comprises four wins, three draws, and three defeats.
The Biancocelesti arrive in Milan on a formidable run of six consecutive matches without a defeat across all competitions. This impressive streak, which includes victories over Juventus and Cagliari, has been built on a new-found defensive resilience under Maurizio Sarri. Lazio have recorded four clean sheets in their last six matches, having conceded only seven goals all season—the third-best defensive record in Serie A. They secured a comfortable 2-0 home win over Cagliari in their last league outing. However, Lazio face this match with several injury concerns, including doubts over key defender Alessio Romagnoli and forwards Valentín Castellanos and Matteo Cancellieri. Their challenge will be balancing their excellent defensive solidity with their struggles in front of goal, having managed only 13 goals so far this campaign.
Key Player: Mattia Zaccagni
Winger Mattia Zaccagni is arguably Lazio’s most dependable and effective option in the forward line, especially with injury issues surrounding other attacking players. The Italian international has been consistent this season, contributing three goals in the league, including the match-sealing goal in their last victory. Zaccagni’s pace, dribbling ability, and willingness to press high fit well into Sarri’s system. He will be expected to carry the bulk of the scoring responsibilities and use his movement to create space and exploit any rare lapses in the Inter defence.
Head-to-Head Record between the Teams
This rivalry has a long history, with Inter holding a significant overall advantage, particularly in matches played at the San Siro.

The overall record between the two sides in Serie A heavily favours Inter, who have won 69 of the 165 meetings. The Nerazzurri are also unbeaten in their last five league matches against Lazio (W3, D2). At the San Siro specifically, Inter are unbeaten in their last six home league games against Lazio. However, the last meeting between the two sides was a dramatic 2-2 draw at the San Siro in May 2025, which saw Lazio’s Pedro become a memorable bogeyman for Inter fans. Despite the recent dominance, this fixture has historically produced significant results that have impacted the Scudetto race.
Players to Watch
Inter
Hakan Çalhanoğlu (Midfielder): The Turkish international is the key creator and set-piece specialist in the Inter midfield. His passing range, long-range shooting ability, and successful penalties make him a major threat, especially as he returns fresh to the starting lineup.
Alessandro Bastoni (Defender): The young centre-back is vital for Inter’s build-up play and defensive organization. His ball-playing ability and defensive speed will be crucial for managing the space and preventing Lazio’s quick counter-attacks.
Lazio
Ivan Provedel (Goalkeeper): The Lazio goalkeeper has been in outstanding form this season, registering a superb six clean sheets in ten Serie A matches. His shot-stopping and command of his box will be absolutely essential for keeping Inter’s potent attack at bay.
Matteo Guendouzi (Midfielder): The French international provides energy, drive, and passing ability in the midfield. His work rate will be key to disrupting Inter’s rhythm and his runs from deep will be vital for supporting Lazio’s counter-attacking efforts.
Prediction
This match pits Inter’s league-best attack and tremendous home form against Lazio’s newly established defensive solidity and impressive unbeaten run. Inter have a significant historical advantage, a higher quality squad, and are playing with immense confidence. However, Lazio under Sarri are tactically sound and have proven incredibly difficult to score against in recent weeks. Given Inter’s relentless attacking pressure and Lazio’s reliance on their defence, the match is expected to be cagey initially, with Inter likely finding a way through eventually. The home side’s attacking depth should ultimately overcome the visitors’ resilience.
Score Prediction: Inter 2-0 Lazio
