Inter Milan vs Lazio prediction
Inter will be able to return to their strongest eleven now after a full week off, another full week off coming and then a further full week after that before their crucial showdown with PSG. They welcome a Lazio side to San Siro that will believe they can snatch something but their performance level hasn’t quite matched up to the results that they have had of late and siding with Simone Inzaghi’s current side against his former side is the way to go for this one on the penultimate match day of the campaign.
