Inter Milan travel to the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday to take on Lazio in a Serie A clash.
The two sides will meet again just four days later in the Coppa Italia final on Wednesday. Cristian Chivu’s team secured their 21st Scudetto last week and will aim to maintain their strong form heading into that important cup fixture.
Inter come into this match on an impressive eight-game unbeaten run, with five wins and three draws. They have been dominant in the league, collecting 82 points and boasting a +51 goal difference. Their recent form includes a 2-0 win over Parma and a 2-2 draw with Torino. Notably, they have scored at least two goals in each of their last six matches.
Inter Milan team news
Despite their strong run, Inter will be without a few players as Chivu looks to rotate his squad ahead of the final.
Hakan Calhanoglu is still out with a soleus injury and is also expected to miss the Coppa Italia clash. Francesco Pio Esposito is another absentee due to ongoing back issues.
There is some good news, though, as Luis Henrique has recovered from injury and is back available for selection.
With the league title already wrapped up, Chivu is likely to rotate his squad, with players like Carlos Augusto expected to start. This approach should help keep key players fresh for the upcoming final.
Inter Milan predicted lineup
Possible Inter Milan starting XI: Sommer; Bisseck, Acerbi, Carlos Augusto; Dumfries, Barella, Zielinski, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Lautaro Martínez, Thuram.
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 5pm BST on Saturday, 9th May.
