With their title hopes still flickering, Inter Milan face a stern test as they host Champions League-chasing Lazio under the lights at the Meazza on Sunday evening.

Title-retention hopes in Italy’s top flight remain alive for the Nerazzurri after they navigated a tricky away test in Turin with a composed 2-0 triumph, keeping themselves just one point adrift of pace-setting Napoli in what’s becoming a fiercely contested Scudetto race.

In a high-octane clash where a Champions League berth was on the line, Lazio squandered a golden opportunity to seize the initiative in the top-four chase, having to settle for just a point after Vecino’s dramatic stoppage-time leveller salvaged a 1-1 draw with Juventus.

Inter vs Lazio Betting Tips : INTER TO WIN

Lazio may have a reputation for being a gritty rival capable of frustrating the best, but this season Inter have had their number by dismantling them in a 6-0 league rout and brushing them aside 2-0 in the cup quarterfinals, so it's hard to imagine anything but another bruising trip to Milano for the Roman outfit. Aiming to pile pressure on table-toppers Napoli and complete a 100% head-to-head sweep over the capital outfit this season, Inter will look to their dominant home form of late, having celebrated victory in seven of their last eight Serie A outings at the Giuseppe Meazza. Although Lazio travel to face Milan in buoyant mood after stitching together three shutout wins away from home, the ghosts of past encounters at the Giuseppe Meazza linger since they've walked away unbeaten just once in their previous seven trips to this intimidating ground. Although it cannot be disputed that Lazio showed more mature displays and were more successful away from home than in front of their own fans, they still seem to lack the firepower and squad depth needed to truly rattle Inter at such a pivotal stage, which is why we back Inzaghi’s men to dispatch their opponents with minimal fuss as they did in both previous meetings this season and keep themselves firmly in the title race going into the final round.
