Can the Nerazzurri overcome this difficult hurdle?

Following two consecutive defeats, Inter Milan lost their lead in the table and went into the final three matchdays three points behind and with a much tougher schedule. However, thanks to the Partenopei’s slip-up at home against Genoa (2-2), the Nerazzurri are suddenly back to within a point of the Azzurri. If Inter Milan also win at home against Lazio Rome, it would put a lot of pressure on the Neapolitans, who are clear favorites in their away game in Parma, but still have to win that game first.

However, Lazio Rome is a tough test for the Champions League finalists. The Biancocelesti are unbeaten in seven consecutive Serie A games (three wins, four draws), which should not be completely overlooked in the Inter Milan vs. Lazio Rome prediction. For the capital club, who are level on points with Juventus Turin in fifth place, qualification for the UEFA Champions League is also at stake. The Aquile will therefore need to be courageous at the Giuseppe Meazza.

The statistics speak for themselves. Inter Milan are unbeaten in six competitive games against Lazio (five wins, one draw) and have beaten the capital club twice in 2024/25 alone. While they secured a comfortable 2-0 home win in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals at the Giuseppe Meazza, the Biancocelesti were completely outclassed in the first leg at the Stadio Olimpico. The final score was 6-0 from the Aquile’s perspective, who are now naturally out for revenge and keen to spoil the Nerazzurri’s Scudetto party.

Inter Milan – Statistics & current form

There are three competitive games left in 2024/25, and after Inter Milan temporarily jeopardized their title chances and crashed out of the Coppa Italia semi-finals with a 0-3 defeat to AC Milan after a 1-1 draw in the first leg, those three games will now decide whether they will win one or even two titles. Above all, the Tifosi are hoping for a fourth European Cup after 1964, 1965, and 2010 when the big showdown with Paris Saint-Germain takes place in Munich on May 31, 2025.

However, the Lombards would also love to successfully defend the Scudetto. To do so, however, they need to make up a point on SSC Napoli, who have two opponents ahead of them in Parma and Cagliari, against whom they really need to take all six points. Conversely, this also means that the Biscione (Italian for “poisonous snake”) must get the maximum out of their tricky games against Lazio Rome and Como 1907.

Inter Milan has the best offense in Serie A

The bookmakers see the Nerazzurri as the favorites, and for good reason. Betano offers odds of 1.65 for Inter Milan against Lazio Rome and, in addition to a 100% bonus up to €80, Betano also offers new customers an exclusive €20 free bet. After all, the Lombards have already won two competitive games in 2024/25 against the Aquile with a total score of 8-0.

Added to this is the impressive home strength of the Biscione, who are top of the Serie A home table with 42 points and 13 wins from 18 home games (three draws, two defeats). Simone Inzaghi’s men have scored an impressive 38 goals at their home ground, the Giuseppe Meazza. Overall, the Nerazzurri have the most prolific attack in Italy’s top flight with 75 goals. The Laziali will need to be on their toes after being thrashed 6-0 at home in the first leg.

Lazio Rome – Statistics & current form

Lazio Rome finished seventh last season and was only able to compete in the Europa League this season, where their journey ended in the quarter-finals against FK Bodö/Glimt. The Aquile (Italian for “eagles”) are eager to get back into Champions League action next season. However, Napoli, Inter, and Atalanta have already qualified, leaving only one spot up for grabs. Lazio Rome (64) is battling it out with Juventus Turin (64), AS Rome (63), Bologna (62), and, slightly behind, AC Milan (60).

The tight standings mean that the Biancocelesti cannot really afford to drop points at the Giuseppe Meazza. Marco Baroni’s team is under pressure in Lombardy, where they have not won an away game against the Nerazzurri since March 2019. Even now, it seems rather unlikely that Inter Milan will beat Lazio Rome and secure all three points.

Lazio Rome travels to Lombardy with a strong away record

The Aquile are certainly traveling to the cathedral city with its famous gilded statue of the Madonna with momentum on their side. The Romans have not lost in seven Serie A games (three wins, four draws), alternating steadily between wins and draws. After their recent 1-1 draw with Juventus, it is now time for another win, especially as the Biancocelesti have won their last three away games in a row, including an unexpected 1-0 victory at Atalanta Bergamo.

Overall, the Laziali have now won eleven of their 18 Serie A away games in the 2024/25 season (one draw, six defeats). Only Atalanta Bergamo have won more away games in the league this season (twelve). However, coach Marco Baroni has two painful absences to contend with. Captain Mattia Zaccagni and winger Luca Pellegrini both picked up a yellow card too many in the recent 1-1 draw with Juventus Turin and will now have to sit out this crucial away game at San Siro…

Inter Milan – Lazio Rome Head-to-head record / H2H record

Head to head: 79 – 60 – 48

A total of 187 matches have been played between the two traditional clubs, with Inter Milan leading the head-to-head record quite clearly with 79 wins. The Nerazzurri not only eliminated Lazio Rome 2-0 at home in the quarter-finals of the 2024/25 Coppa Italia at the Giuseppe Meazza, but also celebrated a spectacular 6-0 victory over the Biancocelesti in the first leg in the Eternal City.

Inter Milan – Lazio Rome Tip

Although the betting odds of the top bookmakers for Inter Milan against Lazio Rome are leaning towards the Nerazzurri, who are strong at home and have already won two competitive games against the capital club in 2024/25 with a total score of 8-0. However, the Biancocelesti come to San Siro on the back of a seven-game unbeaten run in Serie A (three wins, four draws) and are still fighting for the fourth and final ticket to the 2025/26 Champions League group stage. The Aquile will certainly not make it easy for the Champions League finalists, which is why there is a certain amount of risk involved in tip 1.

We believe the Biancocelesti are capable of scoring an away goal, which is why we are avoiding a prediction on the outcome of the Inter Milan vs. Lazio Rome match by betting on both teams to score. Bwin is offering odds of 1.77 for this, which we are backing with five out of ten units.
