Our prediction for this Serie A match:
All eyes will be on Stadio Olimpico when Lazio and Inter square off against each other in the Serie A round 3. The Biancocelesti kicked off the new domestic campaign with a 2-1 win over Bologna, with the team playing out a goalless draw with Torino at the weekend. The capital club aim to return to winning ways as soon as possible, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Nerazzurri in Saturday’s clash.
There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, with goalkeeper Luis Maximiano returning from suspension. Inter, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-0 win over Spezia. Returnee Romelu Lukaku will be the man to watch in the away side, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan remains in the treatment room. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards in Rome as Lazio are tough to beat at home ground.
