Serie A, played Monday, December 16th, 2024
Here is our Lazio v Inter Milan tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to score in this game, over 2.5 goals, and a tie. Our confidence in this pick was low relative to other picks.
Lazio managed to bounce back from their previous heavy 3-1 defeat away from home at Parma when the upcoming hosts registered an impressive 1-0 win away from home against the Serie A league leaders, Napoli, last weekend.
Inter Milan stretched their unbeaten run in the Italian top flight to nine games last time out in Serie A with a 3-1 home win against Parma which helped the visitors remain in third place in the table but still level on points with their fifth placed hosts, Lazio.
Lazio may have slipped to four defeats already so far in this season's Serie A campaign but Marco Baroni's side have not bothered dealing in draws for the large part as the upcoming hosts have collected 10 wins from their 15 league matches played to date.
Six out of Lazio's total of 10 league wins this term have been registered on home soil at their Stadio Olimpico with victories gained over Venezia, Verona, Empoli, Genoa, Cagliari and Bologna respectively, while the bigger picture shows Lazio are now unbeaten in each of their previous 12 home games overall in the Italian top flight.
Five out of Lazio's last 10 matches overall in Serie A have also produced goals for both teams as well, and with third placed Inter Milan visiting the Stadio Olimpico on Monday night, the goals market may be the safest option here.
On the subject of goals being scored, Inter Milan have scored in all 14 league matches played to date this term in Serie A and having racked up nine wins within their 14 games along with four draws and slipping to only one defeat so far, the visitors currently sit in third place in the Serie A table.
The visitors head into this upcoming match on Monday night just three points adrift of the current Serie A leaders Atalanta on the back of nine league matches without a defeat and picking up no fewer than seven wins in the process along the way.
Four of these recent seven wins overall have been collected on their travels with important victories gained at the expense of the likes of Udinese, Roma, Empoli and Verona respectively, while the bigger picture shows Inter Milan have been handed just two losses in their last 46 matches overall in the domestic top flight which is a staggering record.
In addition, Inter Milan have lost just once in their last 26 away matches in Serie A, picking up 20 wins in the process while also scoring in all but one of these 26 outings as well!
