Inter-Lazio is a match valid for the thirty-seventh day of Serie A and is played on Sunday at 6 p.m.: odds, predictions, live TV, streaming.
The one in Reggio Emilia with Sassuolo was just a one-off, and Italy’s champion Inter proved it a week ago by overwhelming with a resounding 5-0 victory the hapless Frosinone, another team involved in the fight not to relegate. The Nerazzurri, after the defeat they suffered with the neroverdi – only the second in a championship they dominated and won with as many as five rounds in advance – put the “slippers” back in the closet and took home victory number 29, knocking down the “wall” of 90 points (they are at 92).
Simone Inzaghi and his men are therefore preparing to lift the Scudetto Cup, which will be handed over at the end of the challenge with Lazio, a match that has value exclusively for the biancocelesti. Igor Tudor’s team in the last round got the better of Empoli (2-0), thus redeeming the disappointing draw in Monza: for the Croatian coach, who took over from the resigning Maurizio Sarri in mid-March, it is the sixth success in nine matches and the string of positive results – Lazio has not lost since the derby with Roma last April – has allowed the Capitolini to “save” the season with the qualification for the Europa League, not at all a foregone conclusion until two months ago. Seventh place, after the draw between Fiorentina and Napoli, is now secured while for Champions Immobile and his teammates seem to have woken up too late.
The scenario, however, could incredibly change if Atalanta were to win the Europa League and at the same time not finish among the top four in the standings. Only then would even sixth place guarantee a pass to the most important international competition.
Inter-Lazio: the latest lineup news
Inzaghi has made it clear that he will not make a turnover this time, sending all the starters onto the field. Barella ahead of Frattesi, but Calhanoglu and Dimarco will also start from 1′. Acerbi is seen again among the summoned players.
On the other side, Casale will take the place of the disqualified Romagnoli in the center of defense, and the re-established Gila could also see himself back. Luis Alberto is out again: in midfield there is room for Kamada and Guendouzi. In attack, it’s a ballot between Immobile and Castellanos.
The prediction
Inter no longer has any concrete goals but will want to end on a high note in front of their own public.Simone Inzaghi’s team is unlikely to give anything away in the match that will act as an “appetizer” ahead of the awards ceremony and the presentation of the cup. We must also take into account the motivation of Lazio, which is called to secure seventh place and try to overtake its cousins Roma, who have only one point more, in sixth. There are the preconditions, in short, for a prolific match, from at least one goal on each side.
The probable lineups of Inter-Lazio
INTER (3-5-2): Sommer; Pavard, de Vrij, Bastoni; Darmian, Barella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Lautaro Martinez, Thuram.
LAZIO (3-4-2-1): Mandas; Patric, Casale, Gila; Lazzari, Kamada, Guendouzi, Marusic; Felipe Anderson, Zaccagni; Immobile.
