Inter Milan are set to host Lazio at the San Siro on Sunday as the Serie A teams gear up for their final league match before the November international break.
The Nerazzurri have been in fine form on home soil, securing five straight victories at San Siro. Their latest success came on the road with a narrow 2-1 win over Hellas Verona. Piotr Zielinski’s stunner opened the scoring before a last-minute own goal by Martin Frese sealed the win.
Additionally, Inter showcased their strength in Europe by defeating Kairat Almaty 2-1 at home in the Champions League on November 5th.
Currently, Inter Milan sits in second place in the Serie A standings, having accumulated 21 points from 10 matches.
Lazio, on the other hand, has recovered from a rocky start to claim eighth spot with 15 points from their ten fixtures. The visitors will be looking to extend their unbeaten streak to six games as they travel to the iconic stadium.
