Inter vs Lazio prediction: ITALY: Coppa Italia betting tips on match 2025-02-24 20:00.
[p]Inter Milan edged out Genoa 1-0 at the weekend to go to the top of Serie A, but their focus must now quickly shift to the Coppa Italia where a quarter-final clash against Lazio stands between the Nerazzurri and a fifth semi-finals appearance in the last six editions. Head coach Simone Inzaghi has a difficult balancing act here as Inter also have a top-of-the-table clash against Napoli to come at the weekend.[/p]
[p]Lazio are a team Inter have already beaten 6-0 in the league this season, and whilst the hosts have lost their last two Coppa Italia quarter-finals at home to Lazio (2018/19 and 2016/17), recent months at San Siro have yielded better results. Inter are unbeaten in 16 games across all competitions at this venue (W12, D4), scoring multiple goals on ten separate occasions. [/p]
[p]Lazio will be looking to avenge that 6-0 rout earlier in the campaign, but will have to erase the pain of crashing out at the quarter-final stage in four of their last five Coppa Italia campaigns. The Biancocelesti face AC Milan next weekend, so winning here will be a perfect momentum builder for Marco Baroni’s side, who have already dumped Napoli out of this competition. [/p]
[p]There are more distractions present for Lazio than for their hosts, as they also have next week’s Europa League round of 16 clash against Viktoria Plzeň at the back of their minds. Casting further doubt over Lazio’s prospects here is their indifferent away form of late (W2, D1, L2), where they failed to score in all three of those failures to win. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Hakan Çalhanoğlu assisted Inter’s goal at the weekend and has directly contributed to a personal-high ten goals in H2Hs (G5, A5), including one goal and assist each in the 6-0 win. Mattia Zaccagni had a busy build-up to this match by scoring, assisting and/or being booked in each of his last four games (G1, A3, YC2). He will have to be careful of his aggression having collected six yellow cards in 11 personal H2Hs.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Inter Milan kept six regular time clean sheets in their last seven Coppa Italia matches played at San Siro.[/p]
