The Serie A is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Lazio lock horns with an impressive Inter Milan side in a high-profile encounter at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday.
Lazio vs Inter Milan Preview
Lazio are currently in 10th place in the Serie A standings and have largely failed to meet expectations so far this season. The home side slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League this week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
Inter Milan, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been in impressive form so far this season. The Nerazzurri were held to a disappointing 0-0 stalemate in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
