The Italian top flight table toppers Inter Milan will resume their campaign this weekend when they host Lazio at San Siro.
Simone Inzaghi’s side has been increasingly fierce and are likely to retain the Scudetto, losing only once in the opening 19 games of the season. Inter Milan boast the best attacking record in Serie A with 49 goals in 19 outings. I Nerazzurri is impeccable at home where they have won seven and drew two of nine Serie A fixtures so far in the season.
Inter Milan will undoubtedly want win in this game again following 1-0 Serie A triumph against Torino in their previous fixture. In that game, Inter Milan had 54% possession, 14 shots with three of them on target and a goal by Denzel Dumfries (30′). Torino had 12 shots with three of them on target.
They may be separated from the league leaders by a gulf of 14 points and seven places in the standings, but eighth-placed Lazio have lost only two of their last six games against Inter, including that late comeback to win in the autumn. This means that they can throw a punch against this opponent and anything should be expected from this game.
Lazio held empoli to 3-3 Serie A tie in the game prior to this one. In that game, Lazio had 63% possession, 23 shots with 10 of them on target and goals scored by Ciro Immobile (14′) and Sergej Milinković-Savić (66′, 93′). Empoli got 11 shots with four of them on target and goals by Nedim Bajrami (6′), Szymon Żurkowski (8′) and Federico Di Francesco (75′).
