Internazionale and Lazio have all to play for at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium when they face off in this huge Serie A clash on Sunday. Both sides have top targets for the league campaign, with hosts Inter placed second on 47 points and Lazio fifth with 40 points. Inter are just two points below league leaders AC Milan and won’t want any slips at this point of the season. They are out of the Champions League and Coppa Italia so the league is all they have to play for. In their last game, they failed to overturn a semi final first leg deficit against Juventus in the Coppa Italia and ended out of it following a 0-0 draw. On a more positive side, that was their second straight clean sheet, having beaten Fiorentina 2-0 in their last Serie A match. Three of their last five matches have not produced clean sheets and also three have ended in over 2.5 goals. Inter are the best scorers so far this season, with 51 goals. The same has been reflected in their recent matches with the team scoring two or more goals in three of their last five matches. Inter head to this game unbeaten in five straight Serie A matches, and just one loss in 17 league games. They have failed to score in just one of the last 20 Serie A matches.

Lazio were also dumped out of the Coppa Italia but still have European football on their roster. At the start of October, Lazio came from a goal down to hold Inter 1-1 in a game that saw both sides finish with a man less. The contest will still be high here, with Lazio only out of Champions League places by goal difference. Ciro Immobile, who was sent off in the October meeting, was on target as Lazio beat Cagliari in their last league game and will be a man to watch here. He has 14 goals in the league, same to Inter’s talisman, Romelu Lukaku and the two will be key in this battle. Lazio’s matches have produced over 2.5 goals in four of the last five and they have only one clean sheet in the five matches. In the last nine matches, they have one loss and seven wins. In Serie A alone, Lazio have six straight wins and are unbeaten in seven matches. Away from home, in the league, they have just one loss in the last eight matches and are unbeaten in the last three. They have scored in nine of the last 10 away league matches.
