INT vs LAZ Dream11: Lazio travel to Milan to take on Inter in the Serie A. Inter, who are currently in second place, have been handed a boost as leaders and fierce rivals, AC Milan and third-placed, Juventus, have lost their games this weekend. AC slumped to a 2-0 loss to Spezia while Juventus lost 1-0 to Napoli and Inter now finally have the chance to go atop the Serie A table. However, it won’t be that easy as 6th placed Lazio will know that they can go straight to 3rd place with a win while a draw will also suffice in getting them into the top 4. The Roman side has won 7 out of their last 8 games and are unbeaten in their last 7 Serie A games, winning 6. After beating Atalanta recently, they will be ready to take on Inter now.

Injury Report, Unavailability: Antonio Conte’s side has fortunate in terms of injuries of late and go into the INT vs LAZ Dream11 Prediction with a fully fit squad. Expected changes: With no injuries to worry about, Inter are sure to play their strongest side. Samir Handanovic will play in goal behind a back 3 of Milan Skriniar, Stefan de Vrij and Alessandro Bastoni. Achraf Hakimi and Ashley Young should man the flanks as Nicolo Barella, Marcelo Brozovic and Roberto Gagliardini all playing in the centre of the park. Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez will spearhead the frontline.
Inter Starting XI (probable):
Samir Handanovic (GK) Milan Skriniar Stefan de Vrij Alessandro Bastoni Achraf Hakimi Nicolo Barella Marcelo Brozovic Roberto Gagliardini Ashley Young Lautaro Martinez Romelu Lukaku
Injury Report, Unavailability: Lazio will be without their first-choice centre-back, Luiz Felipe as he is joined by Thomas Strakosha and Jean-Daniel Akpa-Akpro. Expected changes: Pippo Inzhagi will still be able to name the same team that beat Cagliari during their last time out. Patric will be competing for a start in defence but Lazio are unlikely to change a winning formula as Mateo Musacchio, Stefan Radu and Francesco Acerbi start in defence. Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Lucas Leiva and Luis Alberto will start in the middle of a 5-man midfield as Manuel Lazzari and Adam Marusic start as wing-backs. Ciro Immobile and Angel Correa will keep their place upfront.
Lazio Starting XI (probable):
Pepe Reina (GK) Mateo Musacchio Francesco Acerbi Stefan Radu Manuel Lazzari Sergej Milinkovic-Savic Lucas Leiva Luis Alberto Adam Marusic Ciro Immobile Angel Correa
Paddy Power: Inter – 7/10; Lazio – 15/4
William Hill: Inter – 7/10; Lazio – 19/5
With a lot at stake, the INT vs LAZ Today Match Prediction will be a tough one to predict. Inter will be the favourites going into this game and given that they previously missed an opportunity to go atop the table, Antonio Conte will not let them do it again. However, Lazio are no write-offs either and will pose a solid threat to the Nerazzurri. It will be a close match-up that could swing either way and will most certainly come down to the finer details.
