Prediction: 1-0
Lazio
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza when Inter and Lazio go head to head in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals on Tuesday. The Nerazzurri defeated Genoa thanks to Lautaro Martinez’s late goal to regain top position in the Serie A standings, but they have big ambitions for the Italian Cup as well. All Hakan Calhanoglu, Piotr Zielinski, and Mehdi Taremi are in line for recalls to the starting XI, while all Yann Sommer, Carlos Augusto, Raffaele Di Gennaro, and Valentin Carboni remain in the recovery room.
The Biancocelesti, on the other hand, head into the Coppa Italia game following a goalless draw with Verona. As Inter crushed Lazio 6-0 when the two teams met at Stadio Olimpico earlier this term, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Simone Inzaghi’s troops. The likes of Elseid Hysaj, Taty Castellanos, Matias Vecino, and Luca Pellegrini continue to miss out with injuries for the capital club, while important midfielder Nicolo Rovella is back from the Serie A ban.
Highlighted Player (Hakan Calhanoglu):
Hakan Calhanoglu is another one in the long line of Turkish footballers who were born in Germany, so it is hardly surprising he came to prominence thanks to his performances in Bundesliga. The attacking midfielder with great vision and very good goalscoring record started his professional career at Karlsruher, scoring impressive 17 goals in 50 league outings to earn a move to Bundesliga side Hamburg.
The spell at Imtech Arena was merely a stepping stone for bigger things as 11 goals in his debut top flight campaign persuaded Bayer Leverkusen to splash nearly €15 million on his services. That proved a very good investment as Calhanoglu continued the rich vein of form, and it is now a matter of time before he joins one of European powerhouses.
The midfield maestro had a bright start to his career in the Turkey national team, scoring 5 goals in first 16 caps, and chances are he will become a leader for Milli Takim in the foreseeable future.
Highlighted Team (Lazio):
Lazio Roma are an Italian football club based in Rome. Lazio were founded in 1900 and they compete in the Serie A. The Biancocelesti (The White and Sky Blues) have won two Serie A trophies (1973/1974, 1999/2000), while lifting six Coppa Italia titles.
The capital club play their home games at Stadio Olimpico and Roma are regarded as Lazio’s main rivals.
The two teams face each other in the Derby della Capitale and it is considered the fiercest inter-city derby in Italy. Lazio won UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1999, with the team beating Mallorca in the title game. The same year they managed to clinch the UEFA Super Cup trophy as they outplayed English giants Manchester United at Stade Louis II, Monaco.
The likes of Pavel Nedved, Giuseppe Favalli, Juan Sebastian Veron, Sinisa Mihajlovic, Roberto Mancini, Giuseppe Signori, Miroslav Klose and Simone Inzaghi are notable footballers who played for Lazio in the past.
