HAVING already wrapped up the Serie A title, Inter Milan continue their victory lap as they host Lazio on Sunday. The Nerazzurri continue to look almost unstoppable and although Lazio have the quality to make things difficult, they will be keen to close out their final home game of the season with a win.
Inter Milan may have secured the Scudetto but are showing no signs of slowing down. They have suffered just one Serie A defeat since September and eased to a 5-0 victory at Frosinone in their previous fixture.
With Sunday’s clash being Inter Milan’s final home fixture of the season, they will be keen to give the fans something to cheer about one final time. Simeone Inzaghi’s men have lost just once at San Siro all season.
Lazio are also showing some good form in the final weeks of the season as they look to make a late push for a Champions League finish. They are four points off the top five and have won four of their last five Serie A matches, claiming a 2-0 victory over Empoli last time out.
The problem for Lazio heading into Sunday’s clash is that they have struggled to find their rhythm on their recent travels. Igor Tudor’s men have picked up just two wins from their last seven away matches across all competitions.
How the bookies view it: Nerazzurri still untouchable
Inter Milan are considered overwhelming favourites among the bookies with a home win priced at 8/13 by bet365. A victory for Lazio is valued at 4/1 while a draw is set at odds of 3/1.
Recent head to head: Lazio always fall short
Inter Milan often come out on top in this fixture and have won five of the last seven matches against Lazio. The Nerazzurri have already beaten their rivals twice this season, claiming a 2-0 victory in the reverse fixture before running out 3-0 winners in the Italian Super Cup in January.
Players to watch: Martinez has Lazio’s number
Lautaro Martinez has a fine record against Lazio, scoring four times in the last four meetings. The Argentine striker is the leading scorer for Inter Milan with 24 Serie A goals and is priced at 5/1 by bet365 to find the net on Sunday.
Inter Milan have kept clean sheets in seven of their last 10 home matches across all competitions and will be targeting a similar outcome on Sunday. Stefan De Vrij has been a rock at the back all season and can lead the Nerazzurri to another clean sheet at 6/4 with bet365.
Probable line-ups
Lautaro Martinez came off the bench to score last time out and could be handed a start on Sunday. Midfielder Hakan Calhanoglou is also expected to return after sitting out the win at Frosinone.
Defender Alessio Romagnoli is suspended for Lazio due to a red card accumulation and is likely to be replaced by Nicolo Casale.
Inter Milan: Sommer, Bastoni, De Vrij, Darmian, Dumfries, Frattesi, Calhanoglou, Barella, Dimarco, Thuram, Martinez
Lazio: Mandas, Patric, Casale, Hysaj, Marusic, Guendouzi, Kamada, Lazzari, Anderson, Zaccagni, Immobile
Anything else catch the eye?

The Nerazzurri also scored in both halves in the two meetings with Lazio and could be set for a similar pattern at 6/4 with bet365.
