Match Prediction: Inter vs. Lazio
The Milanese perform confidently at home, but they do not always excel in attack. Inter scores regularly, but goal fests are rare: in their last eight home Serie A matches, the team has only scored more than two goals three times. These instances occurred against Cremonese, Torino, and Fiorentina, teams not known for strong defenses in this championship.
Lazio has been solid defensively recently, not conceding in their last four Serie A matches. Even away, the Romans do not allow many chances: in their last 17 away league games, they have only conceded more than two goals once. Moreover, they have kept clean sheets in nine of these matches.
I do not expect the hosts to score more than two goals in this encounter. My prediction: Inter Individual Total Under 2.5
* Each team's lineup reflects their starting eleven in their last match in this competition.
