There are a couple of big games in the Italian Serie A this weekend, one of which takes place on Sunday afternoon as Lazio entertain Inter Milan at the Stadio Olimpico.
The hosts begin the weekend in 10th place on 3 points while the visitors are in 3rd place with 6 points to their name.
Lazio started the season with an away trip to Cagliari and came away with maximum points thanks to a 2-0 victory. Lazio took the lead after only 4 minutes of the match and secured the points thanks to a second goal with 16 minutes remaining on the clock. Their first home match of the 2020/21 Serie A campaign came against Atalanta and it was always going to be a tough game.
However, Lazio fans would not have expected to see their team lose 4-1 on home soil. Lazio found themselves 1-0 down after only 10 minutes and by the end of the first half, the hosts were 3-0 down. Lazio managed to pull a goal back in the 57th minute but Atalanta restored their 3 goal cushion just 4 minutes later.
Despite the loss against Atalanta, Lazio have a strong home record that has seen them remain undefeated in 17 of their last 20 home league games. In 11 of their last 14 Serie A matches, Lazio have seen over 2.5 goals scored.
Inter Milan have made a strong start to their Serie A season, winning both of their opening fixtures. They began with a home fixture against Fiorentina and fell a goal behind after only 3 minutes. Inter Milan came out strongly in the second half and found themselves 2-1 up after 52 minutes, only to concede an equaliser and then fall 3-2 behind. In an exciting start to the season, Inter Milan kept going to the final whistle and managed to score 2 goals in the 87th and 89th minute to win the game.
Inter Milan were involved in another high scoring game as they defeated Benevento 5-2 away from home last weekend. Inter Milan were 3-0 up after only 27 minutes of the match and despite conceding a goal before half time, they were 5-1 to the good with 19 minutes remaining on the clock, sealing maximum points.
Trends show Inter Milan are undefeated in their last 10 Serie A games. In 12 of Inter Milan's 15 most recent Serie A games there have been over 2.5 goals scored.
Team news and Lazio have a long injury list including Denis Vavro, Joaquin Correa, Luiz Felipe, Silvio Proto, and Vedat Muriqi. Senad Lulic and Stefan Radu are doubts.
Inter Milan are without the injured Matias Vecino who has a knee injury. Arturo Vidal and Radja Nainggolan are struggling to make it due to thigh injury and throat problem respectively.
This should be a high scoring game, with over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the back of the net. However, Inter Milan have made the better start this season and look capable of coming away with maximum points.
