Latest team news for Inter Milan vs Lazio
Inter will find it difficult to rotate their squad too much if they still want to harbor any hopes of winning the title. However, they may be without Lautaro Martinez – who played 75 minutes in pain against Barcelona – and Davide Frattesi due to an abdominal injury.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Benjamin Pavard are also unavailable. Kristjan Asllani suffered a minor injury in the match against Torino but is likely to be fit enough to play.
On the Lazio side, both Mattia Zaccagni and Luca Pellegrini are suspended, while Nuno Tavares is absent due to injury. However, coach Baroni can breathe a sigh of relief as Manuel Lazzari and Elseid Hysaj return, while versatile defender Patric is still suffering from an ankle injury.

Latest football match prediction: Inter Milan vs Lazio
Inter Milan had a near-perfect Sunday last weekend, beating Torino 2-0 away from home, then watching Napoli surprisingly draw with Genoa, reducing the gap in the standings to just one point.
The Scudetto race has therefore become even more intense. However, coach Simone Inzaghi must carefully consider whether to focus all his efforts on winning the domestic league title or to conserve his players for the upcoming Champions League final.
Inter's home game against Lazio this weekend is their toughest remaining challenge in the final two rounds, and a defeat could hand the title to Napoli if Antonio Conte's side overcome a struggling Parma.
Nevertheless, Inter are in incredibly impressive home form with 7 wins in their last 8 Serie A matches, in addition to a thrilling comeback against Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final earlier this month.
The victory against Torino also helped Inzaghi make history in Serie A as the second coach to achieve 100 wins with two different clubs – after the legendary Nils Liedholm.
One of those victories was the crushing 6-0 win against Lazio at the Olimpico in the first leg. If they can replicate that positive result, Inter will complete a double against Lazio in Serie A for the first time since the 2016-17 season.
Inter have won 4 of their last 5 home matches against Lazio, although the most recent game between the two teams at San Siro ended in a draw.
Lazio's coach Marco Baroni has an extremely poor head-to-head record against Inter, with only one draw and seven losses in their eight encounters.
Nevertheless, Lazio's spirits are high after their dramatic 1-1 draw with Juventus last weekend. They equalized in the 96th minute through Matias Vecino after Pierre Kalulu of Juve received a red card.
Both teams currently have 64 points, but Lazio is ranked 5th due to losing to Juventus in head-to-head matches. Bologna and Roma are also close behind, putting immense pressure on Lazio as they face Inter.
If they lose at San Siro, the Biancocelesti could be knocked out of European qualification – something that hasn't happened since the 2016-17 season. Their final match will be against Lecce, a team likely fighting to avoid relegation.
However, Lazio's strength lies in their away form: their last three wins have all come away from home (against Atalanta, Genoa, and Empoli), and they could extend their away winning streak to four matches – something they haven't achieved in the past three years.
