After extending their unbeaten record to seven games, Inter Milan hope to maintain it this weekend when they take on Lazio. The match schedules for Saturday at the Stadio Olimpico with kickoff at 7 pm.
In the last Inzaghi championship – still under Biancocelesti Simone Inzaghi – won the last time in Sassuolo and finished third in the table; Bologna surprisingly beat the hosts; continue their mixed start to the campaign.
The win over Roma in the Derby Della Capitale and then Lokomotiv Moscow in the Europa League preceded the seventh round of Serie A for Lazio. They then beat midfield Bologna 2-0.
Furthermore, the Aquile arrived home from the stadium unsuccessfully after suffering a 3-0 loss that took them two goals ahead in the 17th minute.
Although Lazio still had more than an hour to save the game, Lazio – who has not yet conceded a goal in the league – could only score four shots on goal, so that they are already languishing in sixth place in the overall standings.
Sinisa Mihajlovic, the former Lazio coach, returns to Rome as the manager of Inter. The fired fans will cheer their former hero, but the Lazio coach’s popularity at Inter is not high.
After the Scudetto winner boss Antonio Conte amid a financial crisis, many observers questioned his ability to maintain such high standards.
