Lazio vs Inter Milan Preview
Lazio
The 2024-25 season start for Lazio has been strong, with ten wins, four draws and a solitary loss in their first 15 fixtures.
At the centre of their incredible start to the season is coach Marco Baroni, whose tactical remake has made Valentín Castellanos the attacking reference important in playmaking and scoring.

Through Castellanos, Biancocelesti can build up and release pressure and find spaces in the opposition’s defence by playing patiently or on the counter.
Our expert analysis of the Lazio vs Inter Milan contest leads us to predict that the home side will stick with their style. They’ll build from the back, which gives them a measure of control in midfield and the platform to create chances.
Inter Milan
Simone Inzaghi has used the 3-5-2 formation to establish Inter Milan as solid and dynamic. He relies on the same personnel, which has allowed them to build partnerships and develop understanding among themselves.
At the back, de Vrij, Bastoni, and Bisseck have developed a solid understanding that has kept the opponent’s clear-cut chances to a minimum.
Calhanoglu, Frattesi, Zielinski or Barella offer the control at the centre of the pitch needed to dictate the match’s tempo. Martinez and Thuram’s partnerships offer the dynamism required to create and convert chances.

Injuries will be a factor in this match. Biancocelesti’s Marco Baroni will miss the services of centre-back Alessio Ramagnoli and left-back Luca Pellegrini. Their abscess could destabilise their defensive options against Inter’s attacking threat.
Simone Inzaghi and Milan will miss centre-backs Benjamin Pavard, Francesco Acerbi, and goalkeeper Rafaele Gennaro. Lazio will miss their injury absentees more keenly than Inter, who have a deeper squad.
Our football predictions show Inter will have a slight edge in this clash, and they will have enough to collect all three points on offer and press home their title credentials as the Serie A contest approaches the halfway point.
Lazio vs Inter Milan Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Lazio to Score Next Goal 1
- Odds: 2.53 (22Bet)
The Stadio Olimpico will be buzzing for this clash, and the home side will have a positive start to the match.
Marco Baroni’s 4-2-3-1 will provide a positive and front-foot approach in attack, handing freedom to the home side’s attacking players. Tchaouna, Dia, Pedor, and Castellanos will be able to play fluidly, leverage the half-spaces, and push Inter back when on the ball.
Milan’s 3-5-2 formation will make them compact in midfield and defence. The extra man in midfield will allow them to create overloads and progress the ball from deep to their attackers, Thuram and Lautaro Martínez.
Football bet predictions on 22Bet show Lazio will start quickly, bolstering their likelihood of opening the scoring in this match.
