Inter form and stats

This stadium, Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, has been a fortress for Inter in the Serie A so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 7-2-0. Inter has a nice streak going on as they have played eleven consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Lazio defeat 85 days ago.

The Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 552 minutes without conceding a goal in the Serie A.

The Inter supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Torino in Serie A and win 1-0. Midfield player Vidal got a match rating of 7.65 in that game, the max score being 10. Vidal hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 42 successful passes (of 45 total).

A strong away win before that one, visiting Salernitana and winning 5-0.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Inter as they have a new game in only three days, a Super Cup match thankfully also at home. Juventus are visiting.

Goals are plentiful at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in the league this season as Inter has scored 25 goals here in 9 home games. Inter are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 6 from 9 matches.

Lazio form and stats

3-2-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Lazio in their Serie A matches away.

Lazio's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Empoli that finished 3-3. Lazio's last match (vs Empoli) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 0-2. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 90th minute equalizer by Milinković-Savić. As you can tell from the result, the match against Empoli was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Midfield player Milinković-Savić was the top player of the team with a match rating of 9.43/10. Milinković-Savić scored two goals, served one assist and hit two key passes.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Venezia with the score of 3-1.

Lazio have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 10 league away games 14 goals have been scored. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. For Lazio, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
