Inter Milan vs. Lazio Roma
A real cracker awaits us this weekend in Serie A. The reigning champions from Milan welcome the Laziari from Rome. Both teams have aspirations of being in the top flight. For Inter, this ambition is within reach. They are currently at the top of the Italian league with 46 points. After important departures in the summer, they have strengthened a lot, which has put them back on course for the championship.
In the case of the capitals, the goal of the top division is rather distant. At the moment they are six points behind a Champions League place. The competition is fierce, which means that this mission is unlikely to be fulfilled. However, even a Europa League place would be considered a success. We have taken a closer look at both Italian clubs to give you an informed forecast, as well as three betting recommendations. Here in our Inter – Lazio betting tips you can find out everything you need to know about this match.

Inter Form & Balance Check
After last year’s championship, the euphoria was high in Milan. With the departures of championship coach Antonio Conte and star striker Romelu Lukaku, many supporters feared that things would not be very rosy this season. However, in Simone Inzaghi and Edin Dzeko, the club’s top brass have signed two more than decent stopgaps. Both are delivering and increasing their value significantly.
Especially in the last few games, Inter are hard to beat. In the past seven matches, they have scored the maximum points. In addition, captain Handanovic has kept a clean sheet in the last six games. They seem to be unbeatable and untouchable at the moment.
Onana already at the medical check
Inter Milan are probably on the verge of signing Handanovic’s successor. André Onana is probably already at the medical check. The 25-year-old comes to the Italian fashion metropolis from Ajax Amsterdam. Due to a doping ban, he was excluded from playing and training for the last six months. As a result, the career of the former shooting star stalled somewhat. However, it seems that he wants to revive his career again with the move to Inter.
Inter Facts & Analysis
– Current league leaders
– Reigning champions
– Only wins in seven games
– Six games without conceding a goal
Lazio form & balance check
The Romans are currently somewhat behind their own expectations. They have managed to pick up 32 points from 20 games so far. This puts them in eighth place in the table. They are currently six points away from a Champions League place. It is also worth mentioning that they have the third best offensive in Serie A. However, this attacking power leaves its mark. Defensively, they are not doing very well. With 37 goals conceded, they have only one less than the penultimate-placed team from Genoa. For the club’s managers, this statistic is anything but satisfactory. Therefore, Maurizio Sarri’s men will have to improve again in order to meet the club’s own standards.
Bundesliga meets Serie A
Lazio Roma are currently on a bit of a striker hunt. In this one they have landed in the Bundesliga. According to rumours, the Romans are interested in Burkardt from Mainz and Kramaric from Hoffenheim. Both would strengthen the attacking department together with Immobile. The question is how realistic these rumours are. In our opinion, none of these transfers will happen.
Lazio facts & analysis
– Behind their own expectations
– Scored three goals in each of their last three games
– Third best offence in the league
Predicted lineup – last updated Jan 7, 2022
As this match is a true top-of-the-table game, both will field a full complement of players. Inter will not have any absentees. In contrast, Lazio Roma will have to do without Luis Alberto and Marusic. Both have picked up their fourth yellow card. As a result, they are suspended for the top match. Lucas Leiva and Manuel Lazzari will move into the first eleven in their place, in our opinion.
