Match Preview :
Both sides comes into this match with just one win in their last five games. While Lazio won their last match against Bologna, Inter Milan have suffered back to back defeats and 4 defeats in five games with just one win in that run.
When Inter lost against Napoli in their last match they had to play without any strikers after Tommaso Rocchi also picked up a knock. The 35-year old is likely to return for this match as well as Antonio Cassano is expected to at least start from the bench.
Andrea Stramaccioni admitted against Napoli, some players had to endure the pain and grit their teeth just to make up the numbers. But as the season is coming to a close, he will want to put this behind them. As it is now, Inter have lost 14 games so far this season and that is the joint-most defeats suffered in a single campaign by them. They are four points behind of Udinese in the final Europe League spot but even that seems difficult to chase now.
Meanwhile, Lazio discovered it was not easy to play in Europe and Serie A as they found out the hard way. Vladimir Petkovic’s side really gave it their all in the Europa League but injuries to players like Klose eventually saw the team slip rapidly in their domestic league - Serie A. It has to be said that The German’s five goals against Bologna gave them their second win since March.
But Lazio still have the Coppa Italia Final against Roma to look forward to. And furthermore, a win against Inter tonight could also take them back in the top six and assure European football.
