The reigning Italian champions are back in action! Inter Milan travel to the Stadio Olimpico to face Lazio on Saturday, 9 May at 18:00 CEST, in Matchday 36 of Serie A. This clash against the Biancocelesti isn't just another league fixture—it's the perfect dress rehearsal for the upcoming Coppa Italia final, which will be played at the same venue against the same opponent on Wednesday, 13 May.
The last time these two sides met was back in November at San Siro, just before the international break. On that day, Inter secured a confident 2-0 victory, with goals from Lautaro Martinez and Bonny setting the tone for what has been a dominant campaign.
History strongly favors the Nerazzurri. In 165 Serie A meetings, Inter have won 70 times compared to Lazio's 39, with 56 draws. Remarkably, Inter have scored in 13 consecutive league matches against Lazio, averaging exactly two goals per game across that run (26 total)—their longest-ever scoring streak against the Biancocelesti in the competition. Even more impressive? Inter have won their last two away trips to Lazio by a combined score of 8-0 (2-0 in 2023/24 and 6-0 in 2024/25).
At 82 points, Inter have already surpassed their entire Serie A tally from last season by one point, with three matches still to play. Only three Nerazzurri sides in history have done better at this stage of the season: the 2006/07 team (90 points), the 2020/21 squad (85 points), and last season's Scudetto winners (89 points).
This Inter team is a statistical powerhouse. With 82 league goals this season, only Barcelona (89) and Bayern Munich (116) have scored more across Europe's top five leagues. Cristian Chivu's side also lead Serie A in goal difference (+51), total shots (608), shots on target (213), expected goals (66.4), conversion rate (13.5%), and touches in the opposition box (1,196).
But it's not just about attack. Inter have kept 17 clean sheets in Serie A this season—a mark no team across Europe's top five leagues has bettered, putting them level with Como and Arsenal for defensive excellence.
One name stands out in particular: Federico Dimarco. The wing-back has provided 18 assists in Serie A this season, trailing only Bruno Fernandes and Michael Olise (both on 19) across Europe's top five leagues. He has also created more big chances than any other player in Europe's major leagues this season (33), and leads Serie A in several other key attacking metrics. For fans looking to channel that same winning energy, the Inter Milan home jersey is the perfect way to show your support on match day.
