Inter v Lazio match preview

Inter and Lazio both need a win in a huge game at the top of Serie A.

Champions League finalists Inter go into the weekend a point behind leaders Napoli and with just two matches remaining the title battle is too tight to call.

Simone Inzaghi’s side cannot afford to drop any points though.

Likewise for Lazio, who start the weekend infifth place, a point behind Juventus and one ahead of Roma in the fight for a European place.

The latest encounter between these two teams was a belter of a match, with Inter winning 6-0. Are we in for a similar goalfest on Sunday?
