Inter vs Lazio Prediction: Can the second team in Serie A break their losing streak on the road?

One of the central matches on Matchday 32 of the Italian championship will take place in Milan as Inter face Lazio at home. Simone Inzaghi's side are considered the favourites. Can the second team in Serie A break their losing streak on the road?

Inter has a good run of form, with Simone Inzaghi's side playing their last three matches in three tournaments. The first was a 3:3 away draw with Benfica. Inter qualified for the Champions League semi-finals thanks to their home win over Lisbon. Then, the Nerazzurri scored three unanswered goals against Empoli in round 31 of Serie A. Inter was stronger than Juventus from Turin in midweek to reach the Italian Cup final. The team sits in sixth place in the league standings.

Lazio has made serious progress in their Serie A campaign under Maurizio Sarri. However, the Romans failed to extend their positive streak last week. On Matchday 31, they suffered a shock 1:0 home defeat at the hands of Torino. Despite this result, Lazio remains second in the standings. The Lazio side has 61 points.

Both teams are contenders for Champions League play-offs next season. At the moment, Lazio has the better chance, but it could be all over if Inter wins. They could try to climb up into the top four and make their place in the standings even more interesting. This game will be exciting and intense. In such high-profile encounters, the referees must show many cards. Here, we can expect a continuation of the trend in Lazio's matches with many cautions, and we can also count on a draw: the teams will be cautious in their defensive actions.
