Lazio v Inter Betting Odds

Lazio v Inter Match Result

When Lazio play Inter Milan, it’s always one of the biggest fixtures in Serie A. The bookmakers have the Full-Time Result market available, with the home side available at around the 3.40 mark to land a famous victory. They certainly have the winning feeling at the Stadio Olimpico, winning six and drawing one of their seven games in front of their own fans.

Marco Baroni takes charge of a team who will be gunning for a win in order to haul themselves into the title picture, with the team feeling confident after a 1-0 victory away to Napoli last weekend. Gustav Isaksen’s goal was enough to land three points and that came after a 3-1 victory over the same team in the Coppa Italia.

Lazio have beaten Venezia, Verona, Empoli, Genoa, Cagliari and Bologna at home in Serie A this season, with Milan the only team to deny them a victory. That came all the way back in August and there’s definitely something to recommend the home side who clash with opponents who haven’t been foot perfect on the road this term.

Inter have landed four victories and two draws on the road this season, although they were beaten 1-0 away to Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League on Tuesday night, with the Italian champions actually failing to register any shots on target in Germany which might be of some concern.

We think that the draw could be a viable option when it comes to the Match Result betting market. Alternatively, Lazio could be worth siding with when it comes to the Double Chance market or you could opt for the Draw No Bet option. Especially as the home side are proving to be so strong at home this season.

The bookies are forecasting a 2.5 goal line in this clash at the Stadio Olimpico, leaving it to the punters to work out whether to go over or under this total. There have been twenty-three goals scored in seven Lazio home games this season which is a healthy average of over three, although scoring goals might be more of a problem against strong opposition.

Inter’s six away games have featured twenty goals, although it’s a similar story considering that they have scored fifteen times and only conceded five times. There’s every chance that the teams might cancel each other out considering what’s at stake, with a draw not being a particularly bad outcome for either side.

Lazio’s recent 1-0 win at Napoli was a case in hand. They were able to restrict their Naples opponents to just one shot on goal and registered three of their own, with a rock-solid defence being replicated by Inter who have always had a watertight rearguard under Simone Inzaghi.

Despite the Total Goals line hovering at around the 2.5 mark, the Serie A betting sites have BTTS Yes trading at odds-on. This implies a higher than 50% probability that both teams will find the net, with Lazio having scored a solid seventeen goals in seven home matches which implies that they could be good for at least one goal.

Inter have scored fifteen times in six away matches which is an average of 2.5 goals on the road. Before that 1-0 defeat away to Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League, this is a team who had scored in every game and in every competition. In their latest away clash in Serie A, there was a 5-0 triumph where the Italian champions were able to score five times during the first half.

However, if you’re expecting a game of tight margins, then perhaps the BTTS No option could be worth exploring. Both teams might be feeling the fatigue of their European midweek exploits and this bet would cover a goalless draw along with 1-0 and 2-0 wins for either side.

Marcus Thuram has been among the goals this season, with the French forward having hit double figures in Serie A this term. Strangely, he’s only managed to find net in six matches, bagging a hat-trick against Torino and he’s also been able to register braces against Genoa, Atalanta and Verona. He does have three goals in his previous four encounters.

Lautaro Martinez has been a real goal-getter for the Italian champions over the past few campaigns and the Argentine had a real purple patch earlier in the season where he scored six goals in eight games. The forward will surely return to the goal trail in the next few games and perhaps this is where he can be decisive.

There could be a prospect of No Goalscorer and the advantage of backing this selection is that you will still profit if the only goal of the game is an own goal. There’s the alternative of backing another Argentine in the form of Valentin Castellanos and the Lazio forward has registered eight goals in all competitions.

The latest of these came away to Parma in the form of a consolation strike, with Boulaye Dia having started the season like a train when scoring seven times in his first six games. However, goals have been harder to come by for the Senegalese player in the past few months.
