F.C. Internazionale takes of S.S. Lazio on September 25, 2019 at the Guiseppe Meazza Stadium in Italian Serie A competition.
F.C. Internazionale
Football Club Internazionale Milano was established in 1908 and is the only Italian football club never to have been relegated from the top flight. Inter has won a total of 18 league titles, 7 Coppa Italia, and 5 Supercoppa Italiana.
Inter Milan won five straight league titles from 2006-2010, which at that time, was a league record for most consecutive championships won. In 2010, Inter won an unprecedented Italian treble, winning the Champions League, Coppa Italiana and the Scudetto in a single season. Inter finished 4th in the 2018/19 Serie A season and head to this showdown as the soccer betting favorites to beat Lazio.
Inter rank 1st in the Italian Serie A with a Goal Difference of +8. They have scored a 4th best total of 9 goals on the current term while conceding a league-best one goal in four matches played so far. Inter is also tied for 4th in the Italian league with six assists on the season.
Romelu Lukaku leads Inter with three goals on the season, including the lone goal in their Milan Derby win over AC Milan. Midfielders Stefano Sensi and Marcelo Brozovic each have two goals for Inter Milan. Nicolo Barella leads the squad with a pair of assists while Sensi and Diego Godin have one assist as well.
S.S. Lazio
S.S. Lazio was founded in 1900 and they have spent majority of their existence in the top tier of Italian football. The Biancocelesti have been crowned as Italian champions twice and they have won the Coppa Italia seven times. They also have four Supercoppa Italiana titles, one UEFA Cup Winners Cup and one UEFA Super Cup win.
After their best success in the 1990s, they went into economic crisis in 2002. Despite their troubles, they won the Coppa Italia in 2004, 2009, 2013 and 2019. Lazio finished 8th in the final Serie A table last season.
Lazio ranks 3rd in the Serie with their +4 Goal Difference. They are tied for 6th overall with a total of seven goals scored this season. Lazio has conceded a total of three goals this term which is 2nd best overall. They are also tied for 6th with a total of 5 assists on the year.
Ciro Immobile leads the team with a total of four goals on the season while also contributing one assist. Joaquin Correa and Luis Alberto each have one goal as well for Lazio. Alberto leads the squad with three assists while goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha has conceded three goals with 11 saves in four appearances.
Who Wins?
Inter currently ranks 1st in the Serie A with a record of 4-0-0 SU after four rounds played. Inter Milan is coming off a Milan Derby win over rivals AC Milan 1-0 in their most recent match played. Inter has not yielded a goal in three out of the four matches that they have played so far.
Lazio is 5th in the Serie A table with a record of 2-1-1 SU on the season. Lazio is coming off a 2-0 victory over Parma in their most recent outing. They beat Sampdoria on opening week, drew with Roma and then lost to SPAL in Round 3.
Head to head, these two clubs have played in a total of 50 matches. Inter leads the series with 18 wins while Lazio has 15 victories. These teams played to a draw in 17 other matches. However, Inter has won half of their last 10 matches against Lazio, going 5-3-2 SU over that period. Lazio though, won their last meeting 1-0 last March 31, 2019.
Inter is the best team in the league so far and while Lazio is also in the Top 5, Inter Milan’s defense has been standout early in the season with three shutouts. I think that defense is going to be the key here as Inter rolls to a fifth straight victory against Lazio. Prediction: Inter
