Fresh from a Milan derby fightback last weekend. Inter will be confident of getting a result over title rivals Lazio. Antonio Conte’s side were 2-0 down to AC Milan at the break, but four goals in the second half handed the Nezzazuri all three points and a return to the top of the Serie A standings.
Inter have lost only once in their last 24 league games this season, and are on an 11 game undefeated streak away from home domestical. Having strengthened significantly in the winter with the signings of Ashley Young, Victor Moses and playmaker Christen Eriksen it seems that Inter are well-positioned to push Juventus and Lazio all the way to the league title.
In team news, Romelu Lukaku is likely to start alongside Alexis Sanchez, who came off the bench in the derby. Midfielder Stefano Sensi is a doubt with a foot injury and Christen Eriksen could also start in Rome. Dutch defender Stefan de Vrij should start in central defence, fresh from a thumping equalizer against AC Milan.
It certainly promises to be a fascinating encounter as Lazio face off against Inter. Follow on the action with beIN CONNECT.
